So, Jamie, are you saying that MLS defenders are not very smart and not very intelligent? 😉

IMO, I think he is saying that the defenders in Germany just play smarter and read the game better. The German players work more on set plays whereas the RSL defenders do the long balls down field not aiming for their players feet. Just a different style of play.

He needs to learn to punctuate things properly before he calls others not intelligent. It's Guys' not guy's.

The quote you used confused me, I had to read the article to find out which guy he was talking about. Then I realized that he meant all the guys.

I'm a nitpicking dork when it comes to grammar, spelling, etc. Feel free to call me a loser. As a matter of fact, I'll give myself neg rep right now.

RSL defenders hoof it up the pitch cuz the damn midfield and forwards aren't in shape to make the runs to give them any other option.

Which reminds me, what kind of coach at this level doesn't get the boot when he can't do something as basic as have a fit squad??!???!?!???
