  1. I for one would be sad if the Cosmos folded.
    They represented a very important era in American soccer. An alcohol fueled, doing rails of cocaine off glass tables era while existing in an unsustainable bubble era. But an important era nonetheless.
    .

  2. The RSL article makes me so angry. Here is a team that is ACTUALLY playing it’s young players. Meanwhile we have nothing…absolutely NOTHING…to play for, and still our kids sit.

    • While I agree we are playing the kids. The only kids that probably should be playing that aren’t are Jones and Najem. The D is young and the O has no young options.
