This...this is just too awesome

Player blogs can be boring, or they can be full of amazing goodness; there seems to be little middle ground. Shalrie Joseph, Federation Soccer welcomes you with open arms. Here's a few lines from his debut post:

I figure that if anybody not surrounded by the Red sea’s tide with fidelity to Fidel got a blog, then I need one 2. From my home island to the BK’s Crown Heights and to my current home in the greatest sports city ever, I am about to Spice things up, sit high up in my throne like the King, and start a Revolution that puts our name next to my fellow comPatriots in a town that has more titles than my namesake’s dreamcoat.

Mr. Joseph, you've already started a revolution. I've wondered for quite some time if Joseph was going to be the next MLS star whisked away to Europe. Now I hope he never leaves. We need him right here in America.

CONCACAF Champions Cup Update

Quick hits from Tuesday's CONCACAF Champions Cup:

- Joe Public embarrassed New England Revolution 4-0 to win 6-1 on aggregate, eliminating the Revs. Gregory Richardson scored a quality hat trick to put the Trinidad & Tobago side into Group C. If Richardson is around to put Joe Public into the Champions Cup next year I'll be shocked; he's far too talented not to get snatched up by an MLS squad.

- Chivas USA and Tauro FC drew 1-1 at Home Depot Center but it wasn't enough to keep Chivas from being eliminated 3-1 on aggregate. Now DC United and Houston Dynamo are the only MLS teams in the group stage.

- Montreal Impact, however, have advanced as a scoreless draw against Nicaraguan side Real Esteli gave them a 1-0 aggregate victory.
