There are only four days left until the 2012 MLS SuperDraft gets underway. It will be televised
on ESPN 2 and 3 at 9a or Noon if you happen to be on the East Coast. The next few days will be
crucial for draft hopefuls as it's a time when their stock can rise or take a trip to the garbage
pit.
In a interesting turn the Guardian over in the UK, decided to let the supporter groups for all
19 MLS sides do the heavy lifting when it comes to this years SuperDraft.
This past weekend, a German referee attempted to commit suicide. CNN reported on this tragedy,
and also managed to sneak in the same article some game recaps. Tactful! The Guardian did
one better, reporting racism charges against Luis Suarez while also letting us know that the
alleged racist did not play in an international friendly due to injury.
Time for another gathering of links from around the MLS blogosphere to get you, our intrepid,
genius reader up to date.

for week 14. Please note for some reason the mind's behind the video feed at MLS soccer split this
thing up into three parts.

In what has become an all too familiar post exhibition game pursuit, there has been some
speculation about the first and second half lineups in Saturday's 1–0 loss to Orlando City. The
reason? The Union isn't releasing the lineups.
Match commentary, game recaps and early photographs confirmed that Mondragon, Okugo (apparently
at right back), Califf, Valdes, Orozco Fizcal, Torres, Carrol, Nakazawa, Mapp Le Toux and Mwanga
appeared in the first half.
