Cloudy Skies...

Ahead of Wednesday's off day, the team got in a two-hour practice this morning, starting and finishing the session with some running. But most of the time was spent playing 3 v 3 in a grid surrounded by static players around the perimeter, with Dario and Josh in the nets.

Ricardinho did not train with the team today nor yesterday due to a right thigh injury. Instead, he worked on the side with head athletic trainer Joshua Watts. He originally took a shot to his thigh at San Jose, was hit again in the same area in practice last Friday, and finally suffered another knock in Saturday's game at Salt Lake.

Dax McCarty left for Germany today to have his sports hernia surgery. He will be back in Dallas on Friday night.

Blake Wagner and Brek Shea will depart tomorrow to join the U.S. U-23 National Team in France for the Toulon International Tournament from May 20-29.

The rest of the guys will be back in to train Thursday through Saturday at 10 a.m. in preparation for Sunday's game against the Galaxy.

I've seen other people suggest this before.

The 3/4 training shorts that Moor and Alaverez are wearing in that picture should be available in the shop or online.

yeah I think that kinda of stuff looks better on the athletes. I would buy a pair though; they look cute.
