Since I have been here in Bradenton, we have had the opportunity to play a number of MLS teams.  They have come through Bradenton as part of their spring training.  We've played about 5 MLS teams.  It wasn’t their full squads, but it was still a challenge.  We have played the Chicago Fire (1-4), Kansas City Wizards (0-3), DC United (0-3), Toronto FC and the Colorado Rapids (0-1; 0-3).  I actually got to play against the KC Wizards, DC United and Toronto, but we never won.  Playing these teams has definitely improved my game; a lot!  Even though the players that are here are primarily not the first string, they still play like it because they are trying to secure themselves a spot in the starting line up.  So these guys are out there absolutely hammering us!  We've had probably 5-10 injuries and everyone had a cut or a bruise.  Even though all that was going on, we still had fun playing with the professionals!  It has been a great learning experience.
