I’m heading out to the PDL title game in Ventura tonight, so I’ll keep this brief:
*Congrats to Coach Charlie Naimo and his Pali Blues on their W-League title victory Friday.
*MLS announced today that New England Revolution Coach Steve Nichol was fined $1,000 and will miss today’s 3 p.m. clash (Fox Soccer Channel) against the Galaxy after he was red-carded Aug. 1 against Toronto. That’s in addition to the automatic $500 fine and one-game suspension previously announced bringing the total to two games and $1,500. Nicol will also miss the Revs’ Aug. 20 game against the Seattle Sounders.
The Galaxy haven’t lost in five games, the Revs haven’t tasted defeat in four games.
Becks is still babbling about owning an MLS team.
*With Zach Thornton out injured, backup goalkeeper Lance Parker will make his first career MLS start against the Rapids in Colorado (6:30 p.m. FSN).
