Well, for one thing, DR Congo = Democratic Republic of Congo. DUH! Not a club at all!

Yeah, I did not quite know what to make of that. Ian may know something about it. I know nothing of that club.

Zakuani throughout. Note the emerald mohawk around 2 minute mark.

Yeah, I got that too. At this moment, there is no reason to consider Victor Souto in the starting 11. The good thing is that we will be able to evaluate him in the spring.

For real?!?!? I need information, please!

I like our outside backs crossing with their dominant foot. I also require they be fast. That is why I prefer: Derschang, Gallego, Souders, Salaam across the back. Also consider that Najem is very likely to start at MF right from the jump.

Only the two finalists are smiling. I wonder who was the best player in that photo.

All indications are that Gallego is staying. I hear that from many sources.

What a great commercial for Zips Soccer! Both interviews. Those Sounders scarves are really cool!

Comparatively speaking, yes. What other team sends 5 (6) players to the pros in one year? With that talent and experience, anything short of winning a championship was a dis.. well maybe not disaster.. a grave underacheivement. Any way you slice it, getting bested by Creighton at home was an epic failure. I think CP would say the same. What was his mantra? "Build champions and win championships". We must call it what it is, ladies and gentlemen, even if it hurts to discuss (and it still hurts). Onward and upward! Less potential and more success! I will be there.

With 5 HG signings (+ Meves), it is difficult to see the 2012 season as anything but an unmitigated disaster. What an underachievement!

Not yet.

I was wearing a Nagbe Timbers jersey at the Porter farewell 12/12/2012. Mikey commented to me that he really liked the jersey. Perhaps I should have known then.

I have seen this kid play. He is pretty good. Like to see what TDS rates him.

AHHHhhhh! You are right, I did. Eric, please forgive me! Stevenson.............................Koroma .....................Brenes.................... Najem...............................Quinn ..................Foldesy.................. Derschang....................Abdul-Salaam ..........Gallego............Souders.......... .....................Pina........................... This lineup is a pretty good one, with only one newcomer starting. Well, two newcomers starting, if you count Pina.

Grant.............................Koroma .................Brenes.................... Najem...............................Quinn ..................Foldesy.................. Derschang....................Abdul-Salaam ..........Gallego............Souders.......... .....................Pina........................... This is how it looks now. I have no inside information whatsoever. So, if you are a bench player from last season reading this, and you want to start, feel free to ignore my assessment. Go beat someone out. I would love it if you do. Main thing is to to win another star, right!?!?!?!?

I know Mikey was not re signed by Vancouver.

That first picture looks like copyright infringement.

Correct. Who else was in that same recruiting class? Vedran Ilic? Johnny Grebenc? Definitely not a top 5 class.

Good. It just did not feel right him going elsewhere.

Anybody got anything on Brett Gravatt?

No, I am NOT sure Porter had great first recruiting class. But that class included Ben Zemanski whom I know was heavily recruited by many.
