	deseretnews.com \| Salt Lake soccer team drafts for 'versatility'
		Salt Lake is Williams' sixth different MLS team in seven years, but don't be fooled — he isn't a cancer in the clubhouse like some journeyman midfielders.
		With MLS leading scorer Jason Kreis already on board after Monday's trade with Dallas, and the 10 players acquired in Friday's draft, both Ellinger and Pastorino are excited about the direction of the franchise.
		Despite the hype surrounding the expansion draft, attended by more than 300 fans at the team's draft headquarters at the Skybox Sports Grille, much of the talk centered around a player in Germany.

	Expansion. - Soccer Fans Network Forums
		It is all but certain that two more expansion sides will enter the league by the 2007 season, meaning that the announcement of the new cities could come by year's end.
		Yet there is one potential MLS city that currently stands out as ideal above all the rest, and beckons as the perfect choice for the league's next round of expansion.
		MLS is the American First Division, and that will simply not change if a club is placed in Toronto, or Mexico City for that matter.

		Whatever the reasons, justifiable or not, MLS folks are using words like "bullish" and "optimistic." They're saying things like, "We're more relevant today than we ever have been." They're talking less about whether MLS will be around in coming years than what it will look like.
		Also, as expansion teams, Chivas USA and Real Salt Lake will be allotted two extra youth internationals for their first two seasons.
		MLS execs say they are trying to encourage an "attacking, exciting" style of play in coming years by signing coaches and players in that mold.

		The USA Women's team returned in triumph to win the 2004 Olympics, giving a grand sendoff to three of their legendary retiring players, as well as a great introduction to the world of its next generation of stars.
		MLS adopted FIFA's new rules regarding elimination of overtime and bans on post-goal celebrations, and conformed to FIFA rules on transfew windows (1/1 - 3/31 & 8/31-9/15), but the impact was expected to be minimal because MLS sis not sign many in-contract players.
		The US Women's team launched on an ambitious schedule to prepare for the 2004 Olympics which would be the swan song for several of the team's stalwarts, and mark the end of a major era for the team.

	ESPNsoccernet - MLS - Dell'Apa: Revolution enter offseason of uncertainty
		A year ago, the Revolution had little spark in the MLS Cup, losing 1-0 to Los Angeles in extra time; but they qualified for the Champions Cup and went into the offseason knowing they had to start preparing to meet LD Alajuelense and that they had a good chance of returning to the MLS Cup.
		Joseph is contracted to the MLS for two more years, and certainly deserves a chance to find fortune in Europe, though it might not happen for another year.
		So the challenges for Nicol next season are to regenerate the Revolution after a difficult MLS Cup loss, prepare for what could be a major transition after 2007, and compensate for a lost draft year by uncovering talent either from the collegiate system or elsewhere.

	Notes From The MLS Combine and National Team Scrimmages - BigSoccer
		I said it before but as I see it he has what it takes to be a starting goalkeeper in MLS and he should be challenging Rimando for the number one spot.
		His speed and ability to cross make him a good candidate for left back--where I think Hudson correctly tried to convert him--but the transition is a long way from complete, as positionally he seems extremely naive (sorry Knave, no pun intended).
		Esky doesn't suck, but I've maintained since well before the draft that Ricardo Clark was the guy to get, because at best, Esky becomes a slightly better than average MLS player.
