    Craig Capano was listed per the "Fire Report". Anyone else make the cut? I know LD and DMB made it one of the last couple years.

    I subscribe to the magazine so presumably I'll have the list at home.

    Vaca was on the old list with LD, DMB and BC. I think Capano, Johnson, Quaranta and Magee are on the new one.

    Freddy's Appearance

    The first year after he is signed as a pro.

    This list is about reputation ... I would be shocked if more than one person at World Soccer (if that many) has ever seen Johnson or Capano. But those guys have big reps based on their pro status and their U17 performances.

    Freddie, of course, has a bigger rep than any U.S. youth has ever had. So it just depends when he turns pro, as I imagine that World Soccer won't name an amateur player to its top 100 list.
