Caught in Possession

British Columbia, not Brian Carroll.

Wouldn't you want to play soccer in Vancouver, especially if it also meant not having to eat ramen noodles and canned tuna all the time?

Justin Moose and Jay Nolly decided to give it a try, and I get the sense that they feel good about the decision. Wouldn't you do the same?

Ahhhh...if I think about it hard enough, I can almost smell the Pacific breeze...

And oh yeah -- DC United is alive. Alive like that plane full of rugby players that crashed in the Andes a few decades back, maybe, but alive nonetheless. A brief word on the matter from Santino Quaranta (happy anniversary Tino):

I went out to dinner with my family last night…at 9:00 I was getting texts from everybody, that [Chicago] scored 12 minutes in, and I actually watched the second half when I got back. I turned it off in the 80th minute, I was so excited. I’m just happy that we finally got a break. It was exciting. It’s been a real buzz around here this morning – it feels like it’s a whole different season right now today, it really does.
