$5 chicken fried rice at the Yak & Yeti walk up is the best value in any park imo.

We're on totally different topics.  I was responding to why JK stooped so low to coach the USMNT versus glory in Europe.  I said with that it had to do with his ego and because the US was weak, he had no challengers to his authorit-i.   You have to remember his time at Bayern.  He was ousted...

Should current players...no?   But do you think that if Ronaldo didn't like the Portugal coach during Euro qulaifying he'd have been the coach during the Euros.  I was also talking former players and coaches as well.  Basically people that have the draw to change the status quo with their...

Those, but you forgot one.  Ego.  He's got a huge ego and the ultimate backing to that would be bringing the lowly USMNT to the promise land.  It's always about him.  His opinion, decisions and way.  There is no one here to truly challenge him.  Donovan tried and lost. I'd say that most other...

I have a Titan sprayer made to sit over a 5 gallon bucket of paint.  They work well for large areas.  However, prep becomes more time consuming and much more important.  So, for smaller areas, it tend to actually take more time. It does produce a better/smoother finish for cabinets and moldings.  

IMO, Sharpie on the new star.  No one will notice.

See above.  My son plays for an affiliate of the Dallas Texans.  Even if it just helped with scholarships for those that can't afford all the fees, it would be a huge help.  I know our club gave out high five figures in scholarships last year.  

My bank account isn't comfortable with $2,500 in select and travel costs.  I welcome our solidarity fee overlords.

And bashing the academy system we thought we were supposed to wish for.  Interesting.

Will JK ever realize that some offensive threat helps the defense? Am I the only one that's tired of watching 70+ minutes of hoping for a goal instead of playng for a goal.

Acres of space at the top of the box.  We refuse to defend that area.  Way to address it after Messi took advantage of it.

Not sure you'll have any luck before the match.  However, my son got autographs after the Gold Cup match in Frisco by waiting by the team bus.  He has Zardes, Evans, Gonzalez, and Guzan.  Some of the others signed, even Dempsey, but they didn't make it to us.  Before the match they warmed up...

Way too early for them to heavily invest at this point.   Like others have said, the MLS academy system is a good start.  Europe will wait till the money and time invested by the US starts to bear fruit.  At that point they will leverage their connection.

We had a good time.  Definitely a special moment to share with my son.  We sat on the 7th row just behind the corner Messi kicked the free kick into.  Can't beat that for a "I was there" moment.  I'll see if I can put the video of it up somewhere and share it here. I have to compare it to the...

These are just for publicity.  Basically to get teams possession of a emerging market of youth viewers and spenders.  Not players. In Austin, my son's team is affiliated with Athletico Madrid, there are Liverpool teams, and the powerhouse of the area, Lonestar, have a connection with Roma...
