Kljestan out

I stopped Sacha Kljestan today after training and asked him about the play on Andy Williams. He told me that he would be suspended by the league for one or two games.

He seemed sincere when he told me he felt bad about it and that it was a silly tackle. The damage has been done, though, and hopefully he learns from it.

That's fair. I had a chance to see the tackle on replays. It was bad, but I've seen much worse.

Does anyone watch college soccer? Those types of tackles are regular occurrences. Maybe the physical play that you get away with in college is a reason why the MLS is so physical and you see these types of tackles?
