Phil Neville goes OFF on referees in MLS, is he off base? not was a rough look for the Third Team this past weekend, maybe he has a point. Steve Cherundolo says goodbye to LAFC... in like 8 months. He decides to leave the team for personal reasons, just as the season gets started, but won't leave until the end of the season. How weird is that? Bruce Arena takes a shot at the USMNT manager Mauricio Pochettino, is it unfair? In Part Two it's all about Transfer Deadline Day and ask the question, should team still be doing business with Boavista? Then finally it's what to watch for this weekend!
