[nas] Thoughts on Danny S.

Danny S. is a big kid.  He has the physical tools to be very good.  Rick is right, there wasn't enough time to see what he had partly because he entered in the 85th minute and secondly because the Crew went into their patented 2nd half defensive bunker. 

 

Danny S. commented in today's Columbus Dispatch on how he couldn't believe how fast the tempo was.  I know I've said this before but I am really pleased with the level of play that the MLS is played at and the progress that the league has made.  More and more Yanks are the stars of the league.  8  or so years ago they were not much better than the A-League now they are worlds apart because of all of the hungry young "Yanks" that are playing in the league. Moving some of the overpaid, over-rated international players out of the league.
