Football is a team sport. As David Beckham and Landon Donovan so clearly illustrated with the
Galaxy last season, a couple of superstars don't win championships in this sport.
Prior to last night, we were in the drivers seat of the Voyageurs Cup. All we needed was a point to
win it. Just one.

Don't look now, but the vaunted Montreal Impact, whose 2008 Nutrilite Championship launched them
into a stirring CONCACAF Champions League run which was the cause of much chest-thumping and
preening by "owner" Joey "Frat Boy" Saputo, is pretty much dead in the water in their campaign for
a repeat.
Their 2-0 loss to Vancouver last night, coupled with last week's loss at BMO, leaves them 6 points
behind TFC after only two games.

The United Soccer League named it's All-League Teams on Tuesday. I know I don't report nearly as
much about the USL as I should, especially given the league's recent success in the U.S. Open Cup
and CONCACAF Champions League, but here is a chance to get a look at the best the USL has to
offer.

I missed the match entirely. Wound up going shopping with Mrs. Shatz in advance of our Ocean City
trip. First full-team match that I've missed all year.
But we did get some answers to the questions that I posed yesterday:
Does [Soehn] choose to start the highly paid Quavas Kirk in this match, or keep using him only in
the safety of the Reserve division?

The 2008 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup begins tomorrow for MLS teams. Eight qualifiers will take on
eight lower league clubs in what is always one of the single most exciting days of the season. Last
year was not the greatest year for MLS in the tournament, as only 3/8 teams advanced. One of those
3, the Rapids, then lost 5-0 in the quarterfinals to Seattle.

Neal Thurman over at the American Soccer Daily (a reputable read; I enjoy it) have just published
an article explaining how Houston's phenomenal depth is one of the keys to its recent success. I
read three paragraphs into this article and before I knew it, I was back here, composing a
retributive post.
I feel goaded.
Thurman compares today's Houston to the DCU of old, that oft-heralded squad which has established
DC United as the gold standard of MLS prestige.
