Former MLS player Agogo shines in FA Cup

The Soccer Hour Junior AgogoFormer MLS player Junior Agogo scored once in Nottingham Forest’s 2-0 win over the EPL’s Charlton Athletic.
Forest who play a division below produced the win at home and were clearly the better team.
Charlton Athletic were passionless against Forest and looked no-where near being an English Premier League team.
As for Agogo many remember him in MLS where he played one game for the Chicago Fire before being traded to the Colorado Rapids, from there he was traded to San Jose for former UNC star Chris Carrieri who no longer is in MLS.
Watching Charlton Athletic might remind us that MLS just might have done NE midfielder Clint Dempsey a favor by not accepting a deal to send him there. Dempsey expected to go to Fulham for a reported 4 million dollars pending a tribunal might just be glad the deal never came off after looking at Charlton Athletic.

More new ownership for MLS

The Soccer Hour DC United LogoOver the last two years we have heard of the potential of DC United being sold.
Well it looks like Monday it will be come reality for the AEG owned club.
A consortium led by San Francisco real estate developer Vic McFarlane has joined former Duke basketball player Brian Davis and the Discovery Channel’s John Hendricks. McFarlane is fronting most of the money apparently with the group’s main interest most likely being a 27,000 seat soccer stadium which would be built near the new Washington Nationals Stadium which is scheduled to open in 2008. The
Hendricks you remember had a big part in the Womens United Soccer Association which failed after a handful of seasons.
So what does this all mean.
Lots of good. A new stadium (although I will be sad to see RFK go) and vision and ownership for the most branded club in MLS history. New ideas and new vision is now coming to MLS in the form of KC, Toronto, and now DC United. Lets see what comes from these new ownership groups.
