Feilhaber, 27, is a creative midfielder who can play in the middle or, as for previous US coach Bob Bradley, on the left flank, and he's hoping a change of scenery will prod him to “prove to Jurgen that I'm a trustworthy player” in games that count.

“I've been there," he said. "I know what it takes, and I know I'm capable of performing at that level. That makes me hungrier to prove that to Jurgen, because he's been here for a year and a half. I haven't been able to prove that to him yet, but I know I have that. ...

“Jurgen watched the World Cup. He knows I played in the World Cup," Feilhaber added. "He saw what I did well and what I didn't, and I haven't been at that level, I think, since the World Cup. I haven't played at that level with New England, and maybe that's one of the reasons I haven't been with the A team. Maybe he's waiting for me to get back to that level, and I think I'm giving myself the best opportunity now with Kansas City.”

“I know I'm in a really good position now to play the best soccer I've played in maybe my whole career and potentially sneak my way back into the national team,” he said. “It's obviously a goal to be back in the World Cup team and play in front of my family in Brazil. That would be something special, but that's still a long ways away.”

Benny's chance is now.

Granted, too bad he didn't have the internal drive to rise above the abyss that is the Revs org and shine. Perhaps, that's the best he can be?
Did he really show enough?

The really good players shine above the shittiest teams...He definitely was one of the best players on the field for many games. However, whatever drove his complacency, that too, was also evident.
Guys of lesser wages often showed more grit and guts, but, that is a given due to the fact their work rate and success sometimes translates to higher wages!

If he shows his temper at being subbed out at SKC and/or his form truly goes on hiatus, he may be at the end of any call ups or future pay day.

Brian Strauss interviews Benny.

Strong comment from Brian himself...

The moribund New England Revolution picked him up in April 2011.

From Benny

“If I’m happy with my situation, then typically I’m going to play better. I’m going to play looser and play more of my soccer. If you’re frustrated, that’s one of the things that happened a little bit in New England, it’s really going to take a lot out of you,” he said.
