Goodbye, Claudio

I said from the start I didn't like you. I thought you were a money-grubbing hack brought in by Bruce because he really didn't know whom else to sign. I didn't think for one second that you were going to meet any sort of reasonable expectation that came with your long history in Europe and with the national team. Your effort was disgraceful and your stubbornness to stay on for one more paycheck revealed that you had no love for anything that was good in American soccer. You were only out for yourself, and while that is certainly your right, it doesn't make your performances on the field any less disappointing.

So goodbye, Claudio. Please don't come back. Ever.
