Editor's Note: Kreg Asay is back again with his excellent Power Rankings report. The numbers are again interesting, and to see our rankings this week range from 3rd to 7th is fascinating. Read on, enjoy, and soak it all in. There are a lot…
Paulo Jr., our favorite RSL Brazilian (what do you mean he's the only one?), has been sent off on a great adventure to Florida, where he's being sent on loan to NASL side Ft. Lauderdale Strikers. Paulo, who hasn't scored a goal in the run…
