Presenting the 13th installment of the Hottest USMNT Picspam thread, where we scour the official sites, wire services, and photo agencies for great photos of our favorite players, sometimes even ones besides Carlos Bocanegra. Everyone can join in--if there's a guy you like who's not getting enough coverage, post your own photo or make a request and one of us will dig up something fun. Even though this is all in fun, there are several rules that must be adhered to: 1. Trolling anywhere on BS is frowned upon, but especially on this thread. It will not be tolerated (The mods have our back). Posting pics from the infamous NYT photo spread has been done in the previous threads and laughed at, so get over it and move on. 2. A picture MUST be posted on every page. While talking about how hot our boys are is great, it's more stimulating to see how hot they are. 3. Give credit to the folks taking the pictures. This is a BIG one. Don't "fix" the pics! If they're watermarked, it's for a reason! They are COPYRIGHTED IMAGES! It's only acceptable when you've found them without. Without the photographers (some of whom are reading this thread), we would not have 6000+ posts over the course of these threads, so give them their due. 4. If he's been called into camp, he counts. One cap wonder, he counts. Always a benchwarmer and never a sub, he counts. If he's crossed the player pool listing at any point in anyone's memory, he counts. I bring this up because a) at least one of us is awfully fond of GKs, a position for which we have depth wildly outpacing available caps and b) photos of players from years past are always welcome. 5. If it's the player's birthday, try to post a photo. You can find this info at ussoccer and mlsnet. 6. On a matchday when the USMNT has a game, there is a concern about results and spoilers. Please avoid giving out scores of games until after 72 hours from the end of a given match (per the new policies of this forum). If in doubt, then use the "result" tags -- for those that don't know, it's done accordingly: [ result] yadda yadda yadda [ /result] (minus the spaces inside the opening bracket). Please note that this request applies to photo captions as well as to open discussions. All previous threads: I II III IV V VI VII VIII IX X XI XII We begin with the traditional and in honor of the thread title L'chaim!
HAHA!! Nice title! Congratulations Baby Bradley for the goal. And thanks FSC for replaying your goal celebration over and over in slow motion....
Admit it: You're all repeatedly hitting reload on all the usual photo sites to make sure you get the Baby Bradley shots. Except Julie, since she's at the airport.
Bump. The thread has been dangling at the end of page one for the majority of the day. I couldn't see it fall to page 2 in its first 24 hours, so here are some of the young guns:
I haven't revisited thread #1 in this series in a long, long time, so I find this post very amusing now that we've made it to the Bar Mitzvah.
Bumpage. Anyone know what's up with YCJ? They haven't had any new pics in a while. Andy, are you out there?
If we're getting into screenshots, requesting one of Twellman at the Sox game tonight. (Hey, I was on a plane, I missed it)
Well, I'd say my first trip to London was quite successful. As soon as photobucket stops acting up on the bulk uploads, there'll be more, but for now here are a few pics you ladies might like.
Crap! I forgot I posted these before I uploaded them all into my photobucket. Here's the link to the entire album. Enjoy! http://s54.photobucket.com/albums/g109/sarahi02/Fulham vs Derby 10-20-2007/
Even though it's in March, I will try to get some good pictures at the Fulham-Everton match. Can't promise anything but I will definately try to at least get good seats when tickets come up for sale... I'm a member so i can get tickets 6 weeks in advance
Hahaha! I didn't even notice them... with the exception of the guy's head in front of me, I'd have to say I like this one best.
A couple of people told me that I should have seen Michael Bradley's goal celebration - alas I missed it
