I'm at Red Bulls headquarters in Secaucus and we have just been shown photos of Mr. Juan Pablo Angel sporting the Red Bulls uniform.

Well, it has been a long time since I have been able to turn my attention to this blog. But I have
few moments now and a few things on my mind.
First, I have to say that I was thrilled that the MLS playoff race came down to the very last game.
There is so often so little excitement involved in the hunt for the playoff spots. The Western
Conference duly obliged this year by involving both expansion teams.
I believe I have to thank Du Nord for pointing out that Paul Gardner had written a column for
soccernet.com. This particular column from the most-opinionated-one is worth reading for its style
(or lack thereof) alone. But beyond form, this column marks perhaps the only time that I have ever
agreed with Gardner on a football related matter. Mr. Gardner has turned his broadside towards US
Soccer's Bradenton Academy.
A bit of breaking news before I start the real update:
Bob Bradley is out as coach of the Metros. I think was only a matter of time after that performance
against DC. Seeing his face during the telecast, you could tell that he knew his time was running
short. It's unfortunate, though. No one has managed to succeed with NY/NJ and you have to wonder if
there are more serious structural problems with the club.
I've finally dragged myself out from under the rock under which I was hiding for shame after the
beating my CL predictions took such a beating on Wednesday. Some might think that 4-4 was
respectable, by I'm a bit delicate about such things. Ok. The real reason I haven't managed to post
recently is nothing more romantic than the fact that I have been busy.
