Teams have a budget of about $2 million US. That's the entire salary of most EPL starters. You got the back line of the Canadian national team and their backup goalkeeper. Cancela is a talented Uruguyan. Nagamura was with Arsenal reserves and has decent game. Ronnie O'Brien probably should have had a dozen or so Irish national team appearances. Maurice Edu will impress you. Buddle, Eskandarian, and Casey all have some potential at contending for the US national team (Buddle the raw athleticism, Eskandarian the finishing, and Casey has flaws but started several times in Germany and was one of the top scorers in the Bundesliga 2). Boyens may have a future with the New Zealand national team. Ibrahim had some chance at making the last Togo roster for the World Cup and has some great raw quickness. For 2 million and an expansion MLS team it's a good roster. The back line will need to prove itself and the midfield needs more depth. The forwards need 2/3 to deliver on potential for the team to be good in MLS. What were you sold? A league full of Beckhams? EPL washouts?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6747047552156020653.post-21608601506168976472007-02-09T18:39:00.000-08:002007-02-09T18:39:00.000-08:00It was - I mean you have so many people coming and...It was - I mean you have so many people coming and going from business meetings, to OSA staff, truck drivers, teams who book the fields before and after,I don;t think it was possible to lock the doors.
