Ever read those posts on SI.com, Fox Soccer, or ESPN.com with the "five thoughts about ..." and then, well, lo and behold, they offer you five random thoughts about a topic?

Yeah, I always thought they were mailing it in too, too rushed or whatever to come up with a lede, coherent structure for the column, etc.

This could be a very nice pickup for Jason Kreis. Today striker Cody Arnoux was placed in a weighted lottery and Real Salt Lake came out on top. RSL only had to beat out five other clubs as only Houston, Columbus, Seattle, Portland and Vancouver participated in the lottery with them.

RSL had the forth best odds to win the lottery at only 5.

I read MLSSoccer.com's Kick Off each day for various reasons but today they sure did sneak in a little bit of information that some fans will be very curious about. The situation surrounding former Everton reserve and Vancouver Whitecaps striker Cody Arnoux as been resolved as he will be played in a weighted lottery set for today at 4:30 pm ET.

For a while now a lot of people have been asking what is going on with the Cody Arnoux situation. Like I mentioned before the SuperDraft I figured he would be placed in a weighted lottery similar to what happened to David Bingham recently.

Turns out that is looking like it will be the case.
