I hope US Soccer can find, and cap, more players like Jorge Flores, although there's a lot of
debate about how many undiscovered, diamonds-in-the-rough like him are out there. Still, if MLS and
US Soccer can give opportunites to players like him, we could add some much needed Latin-flair to
the game here.

The Sports Economist notes that the latest rule proposed by FIFA, limiting pro teams to a mix of
6+5 domestic and foreign players, would negatively impact Americans playing Europe. It would also
lower the quality of play at home, since MLS would not be able to import more skilled players from
the region and South America as it expands.

The US beats Poland 3-0 yesterday. Color me a bit unimpressed that A) all 3 goals were off of
set pieces and B) we are capable of beating just about anyone as long as its not the World Cup. I
think I'm just as excited about this win as I was when we beat Austria.

For any American soccer player, playing abroad is always a career goal. I never though that the
Bolivian professional circuit would be such a destination. I'd have to figure it ranks way, way
down there in leagues to play in, not only is the level of play not as high, but the pay is low and
sporadic - just ask the players from Bolivar.

It's been a good week to be Viginia Tech football fan, either pointy or round ball kind. While
the gridirion team gets their re-match with BC, the Hokies soccer team is having a historic year.
Not only have the men gone undefeated at home, but last night they advanced in the NCAA
tournament.
Tech (12-3-5) got two second-half goals from Charlie Campbell, thrilling a crowd of 1,417 that
packed the bleachers on a chilly night.

For so many of us, soccer can take on a quasi-religious aspect in our lives. Many times, just in
the way we talk about the game, or how we came to be a fan of the game. A dead easy way to start a
conversation with a soccer fan is to ask him when they had their "on the road to Damascus"
moment.

John Kass had his moment from soccer-dad to soccer-fan and is now preaching the good word:
