Because of you, I've paid special attention to Kyle Martino, and I'm still just not seeing what you're seeing. (That's one of the things I find interesting about soccer. When we watch football, or baseball, or even basketball, what I see will be what everybody else in the universe sees, pretty much. Not so with soccer. Six people will have six different reads after the game. Which is why 44% of people voted for Landon as man of the match after the FCD game.) Or maybe I'm not seeing screw-ups to a larger degree than most of the other midfielders. Maybe he doesn't distribute the ball quite as well as some others, but in my mind he makes up for it by getting in and fighting for it to begin with. Or perhaps I'm delusional. There's always that possibility. I have the game recorded and ready for watching again. (Although this is complicated by the fact that there are two Champions League games this week and I have only so much time to watch soccer.) I'll tell you if I change my mind. But I'm afraid you're right about who the odd man out will be post-Beckham. I wouldn't be surprised to see Kyle go elsewhere next year. Doug, this is so funny.

He is our number one liability in the midfield. Guess who's gone once you-know-who arrives? Great to see Pete back. Martino can take all the free kicks… for now.
