		<description><![CDATA[Just a few weeks into the new season and the natives are getting restless.  As I examine the current form of FCD you can't help but think of the optimism of the staff, players, and fans finishing up the previous year.  No question there was reason for hope that this team had finally turned the corner and had something to build on.  In my opinion it is a fine line between continuity and improvement and this is where problems can begin to rear their ugly head.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I feel it is important that I discuss this subject now, because winning or losing the last game, possibly making the playoffs, and this current win streak, are not going to change my opinion.  Everyone thinks they look at things objectively, but that is very hard to do and few understand what that means, in my experience. I am always striving to be one of those that do so, although I am sure I don’t always achieve that goal. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Let me start by saying anytime we don’t win the world cup I am disappointed in the result.  As a coach, I always feel everyone could have improved if you don’t reach the end result. When you put in two years of work and a lot of your soul, you can't help but believe you are going to overcome any weaknesses and go all the way. Realistically however, this age group has had some serious struggles all the way through the multiple competitions and cycles. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When Buzz asked me to drop him a few articles on the state of soccer, I couldn’t decide what to name my articles and was stuck on “You can’t handle the Truth,” but thought it was to pretentious.  As a professional coach you always find yourself being second-guessed.  At the same time you usually surround yourself with people you trust for a second opinion.  I am hoping the people who read this will find it a second opinion worth trusting, and worth debating, which is what makes the game special to me. ]]></description>
