    I did watch that video a few days ago, thanks again. Would like to watch it again, but am visiting my elderly parents and a good connection is hard to find. Here are some generalizations from what I remember seeing:

    (1) He wasn't perfect... if he gets better it will be scary
    (2) If, as some have posted, his teammates didn't get him the ball enough, they're crazy and/or need a good talking to
    (3) He constantly puts pressure on defenders, so it would be nice to have teammates who know how to take advantage of the opportunities he creates. Wouldn't it have been great if he and Dempsey had overlapped more than just a few games?
    (4) Is it just me, or is he underrated as a defender?
