A sheep, yesterday: "Collina son, what?!"
Yahoo! Sports' Martin Rogers (who incidentally looks like the love child of Liev Shriber and Paul Rudd) has put together a hit list of big-name foreign players that MLS should hitch it's wagons to. While most are not too surprising and would definitely be Beyonce-sized hits on the pitch, it's the final name that might be the most interesting.
Number 10 on the list is Pierluigi Collina. Aka "The Alien". Aka the best ref to ever call the game. Sure it's a long shot but call him up. Judging by the adverts he's done, he'll do anything for money it seems...why not school a nation on the art of controlling a game?
At a stroke the glaring inadequacies of Kevin Stott and Mauricio Navarro would shine as big and bright as George Hamilton's teeth. Once he called a game there would be no going back to the land of unjustified yellow cards and unseen muggings which is sadly frequented by a few MLS refs. I'm not saying he's perfect, but he would bring justice not seen since the Nuremberg trials.
And we could all use a little Justice in our lives.
