Sporting News:

Make no mistake, Major League Soccer has great affection for Eric Wynalda.

Preserved in a prominent location inside the league's Manhattan headquarters is the jersey and ball he used when scoring the first goal in MLS history. The shirt Wynalda's San Jose Clash wore that day in April 1996 is a garish mess of puke green, teal, red and several other colors. It's not on display because it's pretty.

I would love to see Wynalda fun for president of U.S. Soccer. We need someone with European football experience and a real passion for winning, not a suit with a PhD.
