Soccer365 is reporting interest from Sydney FC in our ex beer swilling party man, Clint Mathis.

"I heard that he is interested in playing in the A-League, so we followed it up," Coach Kosmina told the Daily Telegraph. "We've contacted Clint's agent, so we'll see how he goes on Tuesday."

They will be scouting him in their upcoming LA Galaxy friendly.

Welcome to the first installment of Bulls Abroad. This segment will feature achievements by Metro Grads throughout the world, highlighted usually by one individual.

And who better to highlight than Michael Bradley.

WHAT A WAY TO MAKE A FREE AGENT ENTRANCE!

AS.com, the Spanish News Daily, is reporting Real Madrids interest in Jozy Altidore.

And its front page news.

The Jozy Bandwagon starts off with interest from Real Madrid. Word is that Madrid has been scouting Jozy, and the news just never made it out. Amazing.

I was expecting some smaller club interest, due to what I believe is an American biased across the world, but man, was I proven wrong.

A fan favorite.

Honored this year for being our all time leading scorer.

Road the bench unexplicabley (in my opinion). And never voiced discontent, even when he had the chance at the end of season press conference.

TRADED FOR A 3RD ROUNDER

If its about money, understandable.

Both are gone from their present jobs, but one resigned to take another job, while another is unemployed after being fired.

The New York Times is reporting that the Red Bulls are looking to buy out Claudio Reynas million dollar contract, thus freeing up space for a second DP signing.

With rumors flying that all teams shall receive an extra DP, The RBNY Organization is staring at a situation where three world class players may be manning their starting 11 (4 if you count Jozy, who will most certainly NOT be a DP).

Watch out! Today at 3pm is the MLS waiver draft (how many drafts are there anyway?!?!)

We have the 7th pick.

Here are our picks, per team:

CHIVAS: David Arvizu, Desmond Brooks, Carlos Llamosa, Rodrigo Lopez, Laurent Merlin, Justin Myers, Ramon Nunez, Orlando Perez, Eder Robles, Erasmo Solorzano

COLORADO: Zach Thornton

COLUMBUS: Ben Hunter

DALLAS: Juan Botero

Thanks to theoffsiderules for this one (at least that is where I first heard it).

Dane Richards has been called back up for the Jammin Jamaicans!

And is listed as a forward. Hmmm. Ok? Wonder what Bora would have thought about that . . .

But anyway. Our youth corps continue their romp overseas, as Dane and Altidore lead the way to yet another exciting speculation filled, hope building offseason.

HAPPY TURKEY DAY EVERYONE!

After an awesome year for our league, here is what has made me a thankful fan:

WHAT I AM THANKFUL FOR:

o The 2007 MLS season: This has been a beautiful year, the best I have seen in my . . . um . .

Jose Mourinho (aka a big name foreign coach)

In a landslide, no questions about it win, the fan base has spoken up and have left no doubt - we arent interested in a local guy with strong grass roots connections - we want to keep up with the Lalas's.

With Gullit signing onto LA, the pressure is on Red Bull New York to produce a name the fans will be familiar and comfortable with.

Bruce Arena isnt the only "one and done" coach in our stable. We have had plenty. Just another notch in the belt of woe I suppose.

I mean, look at this list:

Eddie Firmani (1996)
Carlos Queiroz (1996)
Carlos Alberto Parreira (1997)
Alfonso Mondelo (1998)
Bora Milutinović (1998–1999)
Octavio Zambrano (2000–2002)
Bob Bradley (2003–2005)
Mo Johnston (2005–2006)
Richie Williams (2006; interim)
Bruce Arena (2006–2007)

Impressive or Depressing?

Well, leave it up to me to leave during the most tumultuous week in the Red Bulls 2007 season!

Lets start from the start shall we ?

RED BULLS LOSE TO THE REVOLUTION

I missed the game. Ill admit to that. Disney doesnt have any interest in playing RBNY games I suppose.

But, from what Ive read from my favorite sources, we didnt look great or horrible out there.

Yea, I realize this may be old news for some, but Jozy is heading to South Africa, where the next World Cup is taking place, against the hosts themselves! That is something to celebrate (for those of you holding razors to your wrists)!

This is a wise move by Bob Bradley - give the kid the taste of the eventual setting. He will be there eventually on the real stage, no doubt about it.

Vide, Reynas understudy, is now an Earthquake.

As details emerge, ill have more to say. But congrats to San Jose. I believe, in time, this will be considered a big metro loss.

Ill be back later for more!

Hey everyone.

We are full steam ahead into the offseason, with no leader at our helm. Above, we have the top 9 candidates for the RBNY job, based on rumors, reader suggestions and so forth.

I also have an option for OTHER. I would definitely like to see, for those that choose that option, WHOM it is you are looking at, and why.

Its been a month of extreme lows and equally exciting highs for our 18 year old wonderkind Jozy Altidore.

Petr Nowak has given our prized commodity, and our promising right back, Hunter Freeman, the opportunity to represent their countries with the under 23 squad, inviting them to the very first training camp, in preperation for the Beijing olympics.

So I'm over at Andrea and Luis' sandbox and I learn from commenters that Arena has been dropped. Unlike the Galaxy, to pick an example entirely at random, the Red Bulls under Arena were moving forward. The Red Bulls this year were a couple of sizzling hot prospects in Altidore and Richards, a couple of [...]
