I'm on the east coast, and I still hit up this blog everyday. It's depressing that this can't continue. You guys did what you wanted with this blog and that was refreshing. You didn't have to answer to anyone but yourself and your readers. That's real journalism.

Another "Favorite" I've got to delete. Sigh. I always stopped by because being stuck in the southeast, I am far away from any steady MLS and National Team news. SV was my main source. Heck, I was even able to keep up with MFL news without the least knowledge of spanish!If y'all commented on something I knew nothing about, then there was the link. What will I ever do now? Being a modern American, I am addicted to One-Stop shopping. Thank you both for so much great reading!

It has been one of my three daily soccer reads since I discovered it about a year and a half ago. This blog provided a lot of insight specific to Southern California and Mexican teams that you just can't find anywhere else. It was great to actually watch parts of the post game press conferences, instead of just reading about them in an article.
