Thanks, Matthew.

I have been checking this site and TKR regularly to gauge how people are feeling about the USSF decision. I read your feedback and appreciated it. I tried to get a lot of different tones and regional perspectives on yesterday knowing that some of us at SPA (myself included) can be a little intense about things. That what makes Brian a great guest – that he complements us well – but also: Kristian Vásquez and Duane Rollins were great, too.

PS I also really enjoyed your even keel points you raised, BQ. I woke up today with a much more optimistic outlook on the situation.

I listened to all those podcasts last night and found them very informative and with plenty of different points of views and perspectives. Excellent stuff.

Anyone see the recent Boston Globe article on youth player development and philosophy. Very interesting. http://bit.ly/4EutrR

It seems the USSF is making a big wager that the USL and NASL factions will find some aggreement. However if this doesn’t happen what can the USSF do after refusing to sanction either organization?

I was confident there will be soccer one way or another this summer, but now I just don’t know what to expect, I get the USSF’s hesitancy to make a decision, but they need to make a decision when the sides can’t agree. I don’t think they should bet that 7 more days will make a damn bit of difference.
