Finally a good April Fools joke!

Interesting read from Bobby Warshaw this morning:

RBNY loaned a few first team players to RBII this week during the bye. Some notables include Stolz and Obekop.

I was shocked when I read this the other day but this article gave a good argument for why this might actually be a smart move:

Basically it says being in the NASL allows him to stay flexible with his future plans while also getting some good playing time. If he joined the Galaxy he probably would be playing in the USL anyway with Galaxy II for a season or two.
I hope this strategy works because if it does, it'll give young American players more options to break into the professional level without becoming indentured servants to the MLS.

Go through 10+ years of player development. Get to play for last place Portland Timbers.
So the @TampaBayRowdies have their own bar now...

Let's be fair to Portland here... Chivas will have re-entered the league within the next 10 years.

Isnt Portland one of the teams that gives very little playing time to their Homegrown Players?
Almost none, because they've produced almost none. At least they have a USL team now, though, so that should improve...
The bottom three as of a year ago were definitely Portland, Houston, and San Jose, although Houston will now go way up the rankings just because of Tyler Deric.

Kenny Cooper finally waived by the Sounders. Glad to see the roster spot free if we couldn't even get him into that debacle last weekend.

Hah. I'm not worried about our team right now.
Also, potentially leaked USMNT 2015 home kit?

Ugh I hope not. Why is it so hard to come up with a good simple home kit that doesn't look like ass.

A late review of last week and a reminder to get this week's fantasy team in order. It was a bit of a downer weekend for MLS. The good news was teams decided to score a few goals but the bad part was I didn't know who half the people on the pitch were most of the games I watched. MLS has to get on the FIFA schedule now that the quality of their players has risen. I thought I had all my ducks in a row after reviewing injuries, suspensions and international duties; that was until Axel Sjoberg and David Villa were late scratches and left me in a bit of a lurch. I was lucky to hang on to second place but LanDawgDew gained some breathing room and the rest of the pack below got a lot closer. Big ups to Monster Hunter FC and London Tea Drinkers for the highest scores of the week with 65. I like the look of my club a lot more this weekend but it seems all my players on the road, still debating who to captain.

Usa just beat Jamaica in beach soccer world cup qualifications
So do I, for the record.
Paging Osorio.
Of all people, it had to be him.
Can a left back win save of the week?
