It will be interesting to see how Wagner holds down that side of the field. Ronnie O is in good form and looks motivated. It will be interesting to see how Wagner holds down that side of the field.

It's worse than flawed.

They help me focus up on the match tonight. In a constructive tone, I would suggest you use the players' first and last names, since your audience includes newbies as well as old bees. From this angle also: O'Brien, Johnson, Garcia, Hernandez are common names. And even there's probably a new fan who confuses Guerrero with Guevara, so the "Ivan" in there would help differentiate. btw Ronnie O'Brien's significant knee injuries were suffered in '07. He said so in a recent interview, iirc on GolTV. Go Ronnie and FCD! Interesting observations. They help me focus up on the match tonight.

I was trying to remember if you already did, before the season started . . . but even if you did -- I'd love to see updated ratings, now that they've played five games. Thanks for the report!

I would be interested to see you do a scouting report on our team using your new rating system. I imagine that would generate quite a few comments. Buzz mentioned in his "120 Fahrenheit" column that it will probably be necessary to rest Davino over the course of the season to keep him fresh, and I agree. This strikes me as the perfect game to rest Davino and start Pitch. The only attacking option for SJ is going to be in trying to play over the top to Kamara and Glinton and hope that they can out pace our back-line. Pitch obviously has better pace then Davino, and if you can't rest one of your top players against an expansion team, when can you? Jason,
