Really happy about McBride being one of the overagers.

he's due to be playing mls as well, once toronto and chicago(?) finish playing scissor rock paper for him.

Does that mean that all these players are out of action for the league games in August?

[roach]

yep, I think they leave this weekend for tune ups. I'm bummed that Dax didn't get the call, but he hasn't played a full match in awhile due to recovery from sports hernia surgery.
It'll be interesting to see what MLS does in the McBride situation. They're known to bend rules when it comes to that allocation business. When Dallas should have gotten Donovan a couple years ago they gave us Ruiz instead and let Donovan go where he wanted to be, LA.

and yeah to the out of action. yet another reason MLS needs to rethink their schedule.
