2005 Major League Soccer Realignment Petition (485 words) |
 | This is a petition to request that FC Dallas be moved in the Eastern Conference and the Kansas City Wizards remain in the Western Conference when Major League Soccer realigns for the 2005 season. |
 | The fans and players of FC Dallas and the Chicago Fire enjoy one of the most intense rivalries in the league, a rivalry which was born through many hotly-contested regular-season and playoff games while both teams were in the Western Conference in 1998 and 1999 and the Central Division in 2000 and 2001. |
 | We, the undersigned, urge Major League Soccer to follow the precedent of the 2000 realignment, when the Wizards went to the Western Division and the Dallas Burn went to the Central Division. |

 | A poised leader with a vision for raising American University’s men’s soccer to one of the elite programs in collegiate soccer, Todd West embarks on his fourth season as the Eagles’ head coach and eighth overall with the program. |
 | In just his second season as head coach, he guided the Eagles to the 2001 Patriot League championship; a berth in the NCAA Tournament where the club advanced to the Sweet 16; and a final national ranking of 14. |
 | West faced a challenging first season as head coach in the year 2000, when American played a schedule that was rated in the top-five nationally. |
