No column today
In observance of Memorial Day.
But here's three links to chew on for Tuesday:
*Here's more on the status of the Whitecaps ahead of Vancouver's game Wednesday night against Chivas USA in Carson.
*New disclosures today on the scandal enveloping CONCACAF head Jack Warner.
*Former Chivas USA defender Claudio Suarez claims Mexican soccer is 100 years ahead of the U.S., which probably says more about the state of the game there than here.

About 100 Percent Soccer
Sportswriter Nick Green has written the 100 Percent Soccer column since 2005 for the Daily News, Daily Breeze and other Los Angeles area newspapers. The blog of the same name began in 2007. A native of England, he began writing about soccer in the mid-1980s and in 2000 permanently exchanged a seat in the stands for one in the press box. He lives six miles from Carson's Home Depot Center, home of the Los Angeles Galaxy, Chivas USA and the training headquarters for U.S. Soccer and is married to a long-suffering soccer widow.

According to Wikipedia, the FMF was established in 1943.
MLS was established in 1996.
So, I guess Mexico is just 53 years ahead (chuckle...)
