I just wanted to introduce myself first. My name is Matt, I'm 29-years-old and, to be honest, I
didn't really get involved in soccer all that much until 2006. At that time, I was in Iraq. As you

Would you be willing to give up allocation money (which the Dynamo most likely would not use
anyways) for a chance to end up with yet another Draft Day coup? After last year's draft, I think
