Where in the world is Kyle Martino?


After former rookie of the year Kyle Martino was released by the Galaxy on March 3, he must of had some plans. Well actually he didn't have any and at the tender age of 27 he has retired. Kyle traded in his Galaxy uniform for a suit and reports from Ives and Soccer New England, say that he is working in the financial sector on wall street. Martino finished his career with 141 league appearances and 13 goals along with 8 caps and one goal for the US national team. How could a player of Martino's caliber not get picked up? Maybe it was his lack of passion or work ethic, but with so much technical ability he could have at least ended up in the USL for a year. I never rated Martino very high on my list but it just seems like such a waste. I mean when he came into the MLS he was touted as the next "Great American Attacking Mid," and now he's wearing a suit on Wall Street. What do you think of this? Should Martino of stuck around for another year to see if an expansion side would pick him up? Tell Me what you think
