July 16th...





Brian Mullan is suspended for 10 games and fined 5k. Good. This suspension equals the longest that the MLS has even dealt. at 35, Mullan really needs to reevaluate his approach to soccer. Watching the tackle again and again he looks like a frustrated child on a tiny soccer field. I know all about that, it reminded me of something I did when I was probably 6 during a game at game farm park. I got angry about something and took off after the kid with the ball, "running as hard as I could". I wanted the ball and I was gonna score so I got to him as fast as I could and somehow once I got there I rolled over the top of him. Somersault. Really blurry memory but I think that the ref stopped play for a second and that was it. Mullan had that same mentality going into the tackle that broke Steve Zakuani's leg, he needs to change that. I think he will, he apparently has been shaken up by the incident which of course he should be, and in the future he will be watched more closely by referees.
