The Battery shellacked the NY/NJ Metrostars in the 2001 USOC and GK Tim Howard dug the ball out of his net 4 times that night at Blackbaud!! Another great memory. That Metrostars team had a few other notable players....Petke & Ramos to name a couple. Clint Mathis (when did you hear his name last?) was on the team but injured and did not play. Just another World Cup related moment...... The photo above was taken by our own Mikey, here's the whole gallery: http://mikey.smugmug.com/Sports/Cha...stars-USOC/165341_z2MW6B#!i=6181816&k=VZTgcXg Even found a quasi-match report (but no lineups). http://www.uslfans.com/news/2001/news,2001,0379.shtml For extra credit, can you name the other US National Team/World Cup GK who also lost to Charleston playing on his club team? Hint: it didn't happen at Blackbaud Stadium
Tony Meola playing for the Long Island Roughriders, winning goal was nice little cut back, that made Meola look poor by Billy Lesesne
Ding, ding, ding, we have a winner! And Mr. O gets double extra credit for remembering the winning goal. Except he may have to recuse himself since it was a family member. Is Billy your brother? What I do remember was Meola being a massive dick after the match when he got a little taunting from the meager Stoney Field crowd.
