Long time no see! I was doing some reading about the draft and thought I would pop my head in. Looks like Souders was on the combine list but is not anymore. Wondering if that means Columbus is signing him, or if he has opted to try his luck overseas rather than heading to MLS. Also of note: Jared is coaching one of the combine teams with (surprise) a Timbers coach as his assistant http://www.mlssoccer.com/post/2016/01/03/rosters-named-2016-adidas-mls-player-combine-ft-lauderdale

Guys tonight Evan Bush is becoming a man. Montreal is playing in Estadio Azteca against Club America in the CCL Final. 100,000 Mexican fans. I'm watching now (only on Fox Sports II or Unimas in Spanish) and every time he has a goal kick fans are shining lights in his face. And Montreal just scored!!!

There is an AO Akron Fantasy League, I imagine there would be a lot of overlap in personnel, so it would be great if everyone just joined our league! Code is 10309-2268

Kitchen and Trapp: The Future of the US Midfield http://centrodeportivo.com/content/2015/01/25/kitchen-and-trapp-future-us-midfield This is my dream come true. With Nagbe playing in front of them? Oh yeaaahhhh

If you are in the Akron area, come to Ray's Pub in Highland Square! There will be a contingent of US fans there from AO Akron, some of us are Zips fans as well.

Bump, because Yedlin

Ugh really? Can't fault the Johnny Football hype train since that's what people care about, but (and I didn't see this video) what could have been neater is the interview being presented as the opinion of the Cleveland QB from a different pro athlete from Cleveland. Oh well. It's happened to bigger stars than Darlington Yeah that was a real thing a few years back. Anyway, I came here to post that, for what it's worth (not much really) MLS did a mock draft and had Saad going to LA with the last pick of the first round. http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2014/12/17/mock-draft-v10-less-month-go-mls-campus-looks-ahead-2015-superdraft

Ben Swanson signed a homegrown contract with the senior team a couple months back http://www.thecrew.com/news/2014/10/crew-sign-homegrown-player-ben-swanson-special-crew-youth-soccer-event-thursday

It's not really just a guessing game. A skilled goalkeeper can read a player's body language to try to figure out which way they will go. Also, MLS used to have shoot outs like you described, but they axed them because no one else in the world does it like that. I have posted a video of this below for your viewing pleasure. As you can see, it does give the GK a better chance of stopping the kick though. This was San Jose's 4th shoot out in a row in only their 5th game, and they would end the season with 12 because games couldn't end in ties at the time. Cameos in this MLS relic include an obnoxious amount of the "charge" cheer, the squad # 0, and a goalkeeper wearing a baseball cap. Aodhan Quinn's father was San Jose's coach that year.

This story is great. Porter is one of a kind

We have been lied to

This is a good point. This is a University of Akron facility we are talking about. A university of Akron facility built for University of Akron students and a University of Akron program. As a University of Akron facility it makes sense that it should be used to serve the Cleveland Browns.

Dude someone copied your post here word for word except theirs was about football. That is plagiarism

I actually didn't know about this until the other day either. I had been wondering why he wasn't playing and was told Jared probably wanted to experiment with him outside of the lineup since he would be suspended for the first few games of the season. That was the first I heard about it.
