    I watched him play at the U-20 World Championship, and was quite impressed. He's a natural central defender, but many believe he'll be able to play the holding role in midfield as well. We don't have a second round pick (traded last season for Kelly Gray), but have a third and two fourth round picks to come.

    I don't think a name has been chosen yet.

    Nobody does, it won't be announced until next Wednesday.

    I like the pick, our starting central defender signed with an English team during the offseason so I guess they are trying to add depth at that position.

    Califf actually signed with a Danish team, but I get your point.

    Danish, English, it's all the same.

    P.S. Thanks for the correction.

    I don't know that much about soccer but I plan to start watching this april. I was wondering if there is any chance of getting ricky lewis, last I heard he was in colorado. I played high school basketball with him but he quit to play soccer, good choice it seems now! It would be nice to see a homegrown product playing for our new franchise.

    It would be great to see local talent on the team but I doubt they'll make trades any time soon. They had the best record in the league last year and the team has stayed mostly intact. I don't see them rocking the boat too much even though there are a few good players from the Houston area playing in the league now.

    I've never watched soccer in my life but I may need to check these guys out. Are the games going to be televised?

    There hasn't been any TV deal announced yet but they should have a few games on ESPN2 on Saturdays. Of course you can always go out to the games to support them. :)

    holy crap. I saw the draft on fox soccer. Man, everything about it looked very low brow.
