I have Blogpost Table envy. You’re going to have to teach me to copy the HTML code to put tables in my posts.

Also: The international season really isn’t set up to mesh with US soccer, is it? It’s not going to pay for our MLS teams to have a lot of international players.

Yes the MLS season is very different it seems. It’s easy to copy the table, you just have to find it in a page by viewing the source.
