Back in the days of The Kitchen, maybe 2011, 2012, I actually enjoyed espola. He was sharp, had good insight, friendly, engaging. But then JustAParent happened, and the ridiculous and endless back and forth between them broke something in espola. He's now just like JAP, his kids are long out of soccer, his view of the soccer landscape is locked into what it was in 2009, and he harbors this festering grudge against Surf for whatever reason that leaks out in most of his posts. He needs a hobby that isn't trolling youth soccer parents in every forum on the site.
