Cobi interviewed on espnews

[Crazy_Quakes_Fan]

I just saw an interview with Cobi Jones about the new FIFA rankings on ESPNEWS. This bodes well for coverage of the US national team on sportscenter today, which also bodes well for the state of Men's National Soccer coverage in the media.

If you'd like to see the interview, I'm sure it will be broadcast again for those of you who have ESPNEWS.

cobi jones just had a brief interview on espnews related to the US's new ranking of 9 in the Fifa world rankings.

he mentioned he wouldn't rule anything out, but he doubts he'll be at the 2006 WC.

i missed the first part of the interview, so maybe someone else can expand on the details.

who will i make fun of?

nice espn put him on, though.

cobi is terrible now...have to give him credit tho for the wonder years back in like, 94-98.

I thought ESPN hated soccer. :confused: ;)

[dawgpound2]

Don't worry Brian, they do!

[Davids26]

ESPN is really going to town on reporting this. They put it on their ticker and everything.

While most of us in the soccer public know that these rankings don't mean all that much, the general American sports fan doesn't.

they have Cobi's interview on ESPN.com

I don't know what he said because I have a ***************ty dial up connection and haven't watched it.

[mpruitt]

yeah its on their front page right now.

Cobi is on fire. 3 goals in the last two games. Could keep his spot for 2006 in my book.

Rob Stone was on the Bob Valvano show last night on ESPN radio to talk about the new US ranking, among other things. Valvano was fascinated by the fact, and I may not have heard this exactly right, that Mathis was at the Playboy mansion party before the ESPY's.
