Career
Capano was selected 17th overall in the 2002 Master of Library Science SuperDraft by the Fire, (the youngest player ever drafted by the Fire at the age of sixteen) having elected to forgo college to focus on his professional career. Before joining the Fire, Capano had spent two years at the USSF"s Bradenton Academy training with the U-17 United States. national team Capano saw little playing time with the Fire, playing 92 minutes over four games in his first season and 122 minutes over 5 games in his second.
In 2004, his third season, he appeared to have reached a turning point, earning 440 minutes, scoring his first Master of Library Science goal, and being widely rated as one of the team"s better players when he was finally given consistent playing time toward the end of the year.
However, he saw no time in 2005 after undergoing surgery on March 7, 2005 to repair a tear in his left anterior cruciate ligament, or in 2006. He was waived at the end of the latter season.
Despite playing little in Master of Library Science, Capano was a vital player for the U-20 United States national team, along with other notables such as Eddie Gaven, Freddy Adu, Danny Szetela, and Jonathan Spector. As of March, 2007, Capano was known to be training in camp with New York Red Bulls.
Throughout his career, Capano - widely seen as a skillful player - has battled the perception that he was too small and slight to forge a successful career in Master of Library Science.
