John Ellinger should still be fired. And Sampson too.

Every single time Real Salt Lake scored a goal I erupted in a fit of hysterical laughter. I find it quite pleasurable to see the Galaxy lose. I admit that. But in between goals I also found myself wondering whether the score - Real Salt Lake 3, Landon Free Galaxy 0 - really was the best result for both teams.

See, I’ve come to believe for both the Galaxy and RSL that it’s in their long term interest to lose games, and to lose them badly. Los Angeles, who have lost their last three games by an aggregate score of 8-0, has been doing an admirable job of securing its interest. I’d like to think that Alexi Lalas knew the Galaxy’s interest before last weekend, but I’m absolutely positive he knows it now. Steve Sampson has to go.

What if the US goes 1-1-1 and misses the 2nd round on goal difference?

The Bruce can't trade that in on a job in Europe.

But a guy who leads us 3rd place in The Group Of Death does not deserve to be fired.

What if Bruce stays with the USMNT?

A lot of MLS general managers (OK, RSL's, the Galaxy's & CDC USA's) will have to go to Plan B.

You have to ask who should go first? I have to say its Sampson. He took one of the best teams from best to worst. Ellinger has taken his team from ...well.. . nowhere to nowhere. Not to defend Ellinger but Sampson really has no excuse at all.
