Monday Morning links

Here are some links from around the web. If you have any you want me to look at, post them in the comments section or email them to edbado@gmail.com

-Revolution defender Chase Hilgenbrinck, who spent a few years playing in Chile's first division, will retire from Major League Soccer to become a priest. That may be the strangest reason to retire we have heard yet.

-Luis Bueno has audio from his interview with Texas-born Pachuca midfielder Jose Francisco Torres following last nights 2-1 win over Chivas USA in the SuperLiga. Torres says he turned down an opportunity to play in the Olympics for the U.S. because of club commitments, but says he would probably accept any call-ups from the U.S. in the future. He also leaves the door open for Mexico.

-Sulaimon Folarin discusses Jason Kreis and Real Salt Lake's rise.
