Your welcome. And of course your wife will be nice since, if you read that website, you'll notice Jeremy basically sends out soccer games for free (trade a blank one for a soccer game).
Besides, she would have to go thru my wife and she is 5 months pregnant. Let's not go there. 🙂

I would love to see O'Rourke in Salt Lake. The kid's a tough fighter and I like his attitude. You could tell his team looked to him as their captain.

Now that I've seen McAthy play I like him even more! He would be an excellent partner and apprentice to Kreis.

Peterson for Indiana is only a Sophomore, but he is another talent that would be valuable for an MLS side in a few years.

Tony Lochead, the New Zealand international defender for UCSB, is a quality player. I would like him on our back line.

Did anyone else catch the College Cup this weekend? What did you see?

Yeah I watched the Cup. Very good, entertaining game, but a heartbreaking loss for UCSB. I too was impressed by O'Rourke though... he was very tough and seemed skilled as well. Lochead was good for the most part but his service was horrible; I'd want to see some other tape of him to make sure it's not always like that. UCSB's freshman defender from England, Andy Iro I think, was very very good, but he's probably not interested in a move to MLS right now.

To sum up - Let's get O'Rourke.

Agreed. My impression of Lochead comes from his semi-final performance. His services were spot on and he had a nice goal from a set peace about 25-yards out. In the final he was off a bit on his crosses, but his defense was still good.

Looks like O'Rourke has impressed others as well
Article about O'Rourke
I think he would be a great pickup in the draft.. but I'll trust coach E with whomever he gets.
