I assume it's the four championships (1 MLS Cup, 3 US Open Cups).

For all you Freddy Eduu Kadu dadu or whatever fans, I just saw him pass right by me. I guess they are getting ready for some kind of championship or something. He was going to the mall I believe with 2 other tall ass mofos! Man that fool is short! He is about 5ft, and he does really look very young. I do believe he is 15 years old (Right ). Man it is funny cuz all the players think they are hard or something and nobody even knows who they are . I only know them cuz just in case we have to take them out in an emergency. But adu I saw his commercial so I know how he looks like. I should of tripped him haw!

the four stars on the jersey can also be found on the chicago flag in between two blue stripes (the same blue as on the third kit). each star represents a different period in chicago, the first star for the fort dearborn massacre, the second for great chicago fire, the third for the first chicago worlds fair (columbian exposition), and the final star representing the second chicago worlds fair (a century of progress). each point on each star also represents something but I don't remember what all the points mean. if you do a search on yahoo you can find the meanings of all the points on the stars. oh and the two blue stripes represent the north and south branches of the chicago river. I guess you can say it's a jersey we can be proud of here in chicago.

This is good news, don't have to worry about having a lockout like the NHL did this year.

The raising of the minimum salary is also very important:

- from 24,000 to 28,000 for next season
- 34,000 for the 2009 season

Hopefully this will do its part to discourage later-round MLS Draft picks from running off to Europe looking to sign with a third-rate team in a second-rate league.

I'm reeally looking forward to next season with the new changes they've made such as getting rid of OT in the regular season. The scheduling they had last year made it tiring for the players, and playing OT didn't help with their fitness. I think the rhnios played like 4 games in 6 days it was crazy.

I hope the leagues can get on level footing and introduce a 3 tier pro/rel system.

Premier (or MLS), 1st, 2nd

The awards have been announced:

Coach of the Year going to Andrulis is a joke. It should have definitely been Gansler.



I would have taken Marshall over Dempsey for ROTY and O'Brien over Ching for Comeback Player of the Year.

Confirmed Mexican Players on Chivas USA (players that played for the real Chivas)
Edwin Borboa
Armando Begines
Issac Romo
Alonso Sandoval
Ramon Ramirez
Martin Zuñiga
Alfonso Loera

the first 4 are all U-23 yrs old... Romo and Sandoval couldeasily be starters on the real Chivas, so good luck to them in this new adventure.

the last 3 are at least 30 yrs old each... and outta that bunch the only one still playing at a decent level is Ramirez. Though to be honest, Loera always sucked, its not just now.
