D.C. United selected Louisville midfielder Nick DeLeon with the seventh pick in 2012 MLS SuperDraft
in Kansas City, Missouri yesterday. DeLeon, a Phoenix, Arizona native, was United's lone pick in
the two-round draft held at the Kansas City Convention Center. ...
Remember when, in the wake of a guy who posted a video himself screaming "nigger" at a Revs
player who had scored on a penalty kick in the dying minutes of a game at Columbus Crew Stadium,
MLS Rumors claimed Columbus Crew supporters chanted things like "Sieg Heil," "White Power" and
branded their groups with fascist symbols?
French news outlet MLS-News is reporting that the Philadelphia Union are set to add a French
left back to the team's roster soon.
Cedric Fabien is considered one of the best left backs in France's League Two, at least by a one
person who follows the league (see the YouTube video below). Fabien is a former Le Mans player, and
has spent the vast majority of his career in the second division of France.
D.C. United will play its first match at home on March 10, 2012 with a yet to be determined
opponent.
The Philly Soccer Page " Match preview: Union at Kansas City
Aurelien Collin bobble head night is a big event in Kansas City, so make sure you are one of the
first 10,000 to arrive at Livestrong Park on Friday. And while Collin is collecting his tenth
yellow card of the season, you can get a yellow Livestrong bracelet at any entrance.
Reality came crashing in this weekend. The amazing August run by the Seattle Sounders ended with
a 2-1 home loss to Real Salt Lake. All the Sounders luck looked spent as Kasey Keller made a 1 in a
1,000 error and the normally steady Mauro Rosales missed a penalty kick wide. The Sounders website
has match highlights and photos.
Hope everybody is enjoying their day off today... well day off that is unless you work in retail
or as a blogger. In any case, the day is ripe for barbeques and hiking around the greater Portland
area so I hope some of you are able to escape from work and soak up some sun.
We have just under a week left until the next Timbers road game so you can expect the return of
our preview series this week as the team heads to Philadelphia.
Today, Josh Mayers at the Seattle Times tweeted that the Sounders would not take advantage of
the summer international transfer window. We all know that it's not for lack of trying. Adrian
Hanauer has stated publicly that he was "working frantically" trying to bring in a top-talent
target forward but that he wouldn't bring in a player that was too expensive or a poor fit for the
team.
Next week, the CONCACAF Champions League group stage gets under way with 5 MLS teams having
qualified. In light of that, I thought a few readers might like a bit of an explanation about what
the whole thing is all about.
By now, most MLS fans have at least an inkling of what the CONCACAF Champions League is.
The big news in the MLS today is this morning's announcement that they have struck a new 3-year
TV deal with NBC. The deal is worth a reported $10M per year and will put at least 45 games per
year onto a combination of NBC and NBC Sports (currently known as Versus but being re-branded in
January 2012).

(8-4-7, 1st in the East) squad yesterday evening at Gillette Stadium. Carlos Ruiz, Carlos Valdes,
and Sheanon Williams all tallied for the Union as they dispatched a Revolution team still looking
for their first win since May 14th.
Time for a couple of quick hits from around the world of American soccer business. As has been
the case over the last couple of weeks, we'll start with the Womens' World Cup with some more
information on television ratings from the Brazil match. According to multiple reports, the
telecast was seen by almost 3.
In this episode, ASN Revolution beat-writer Hank Alexandre is joined by New England Soccer Today
Correspondent Sean Donahue and RevsPress author Julian Cardillo to discuss the Revs loss in seattle
as well as what to expect in Real Salt Lake.
