Hey Crew fans!

10:30 pm can't get here soon enough as we wait for the Gold and Black to hit it against San Jose. But I wanted to share this great article on MLS.com by Armchair Analysis Matthew Doyle regarding....YOU! You, me, us, all of us! We are the fan base that make the MLS thrive bigger and better than ever. But the early fans, the ones who worked hard to make many listen about this great sport and the MLS in general, you are the ones who are saluted in this article as we should salute you too for us newbie fans who are on board and are walking the way you paved.

So I hope you enjoy the article, I hope you'll check out one of my responses to a man who for 20 years told his friends about how great the sport is to those Americans unsure of soccer's stature. It's really worth the read!
