Well, we’d by lying if we said we didn’t see this coming. LA Galaxy defender Nathan Smith has been retroactively suspended by the MLS Disciplinary Committee for one match.

During the 59th minute of last week’s 2-1 loss at home to Sporting Kansas City, the right back lined up a tackle on Benny Feilhaber and got it all wrong, sinking his exposed studs into Feilhaber’s ankle, who was subsequently taken out of the match and later diagnosed with a leg contusion and ankle sprain. Ouch.
