- Does MLS (and the U.S. national team) have a goalkeeping problem? Arena ain't having it: "I think you're making an awful lot out of a couple of games. Did any attacking players miss a goal this past week or two? I don't think you look at a game and draw all these conclusions. You look at the body of work that players present. You don't look at one game or two games when there's a mistake."
- This is a good thing:
