This is my most visited comprehensive football news site. Also, the addition of the high quality photos is my favorite. What else goes better with comprehensive news than detailed photographs. Great job on the site. I love coming to this blog for the great football updates from the US and around the world. This is my most visited comprehensive football news site.

I wonder how the MLS scouting went. They really need to bring in more international stars. Thanks Tom! I wonder how the MLS scouting went. They really need to bring in more international stars.

In my opinion, the only real competitor cities are Vancouver and St. Louis. I'm not overly concerned about Montreal (too many weird stadium/ownership issues), NYC2 (already a team there/amount of time and money it'll take to get the stadium situation squared away), Las Vegas (Ha!), Ottawa (Ha!), and Atlanta (props to the 'Backs, but I don't think they're going to be ready for 2011). I'm hoping that St. Louis'll get derailed by the same stuff that hurt them on the last go around or that Vancouver'll have lots of difficulties on the stadium front and that'll allow us to get in. Or, alternately, we just get in on merit, but I don't have much faith in that with MLS, at this point. Also, I think Merritt knows what he's doing and may have an ace or two up his sleeve but that just may be wishful thinking. Of course, there's been talk here about people not wanting to leave USL, but that's a vocal minority. I'm concerned that it may be MLS or nothing, eventually...if Vancouver and Sh*ttle are gone, then who are we going to play in the west? Minnesota!?! The travel costs will kill us. Well, it comes down to Portland city governement first, so we'll have to cross that bridge first...
