I am wondering/hoping, perhaps naively idealistic, that Nowak is building a team that will be a future powerhouse. A bunch of young talent that could be around a long with a lot of unspent allocation money in the bank to cover their increased salary demands in coming years.

If we do get Drogba, it'll be one of the younger brothers given what Nowak has been doing lately.

I don't buy that. Not saying you, just the theory. MLS isn't like other leagues. It's not set up for long term builds. Especially considering that other countries have better leagues, anyone worth a crap is going to get sent away.

Even if he was building for the future, you would still need some veteran presence to help them along.

My fear is that the Union can't handle their money or are hoarding it for some unknown reason. It's frustrating to say the least.


So, Ricky, are TFC going to get their first points this weekend? Or do you have a poll that says otherwise?

This ref sucks. There was just a tackle that against one of the Farfan brothers that the same ref sent Gabe Farfan off for in the Chivas game. He is so inconsistant I am surprised this game hasn't gotten more chippy due to player frustration.

I can't believe we just lost to the worst team in the league.

Yes, you can.

But it's ok. Wash it down with this

That was beautiful. I thought the initial set after the crossing pass was a blown touch until I saw the replay.

I think he's frustrated with MLS and the Galaxy. But a note of correction: the layoff for Bradley was by Jones. Donovan made the cross to Jones, who also had a magnificent game.

That was an awesome game. To go from losing to the worst team in the division (if not the league) to shellacking the 2nd best team in the division. And it was a fun game to watch.

The Union picked up Bakary Soumare. Can somebody tell me if that is as good as it looks on paper?

I have no idea, but I'm guessing it will be. The U need some height. I think they're the shortest team in the league right now. Okugo has been quite serviceable as a CB, but he's better off as a DM. I can totally see him taking over for Carroll at some point.
