Yank kid at Torino?

Lazy might be a strong word (I guess).

Whether you're discovering this thread anew or saw it mature in real time, people agree it's a good story. Fans of this thread simply ask you to carve away some time (a good trip to the toilet) and read what unfolds. Be mindful of the dates on posts. It was simpler times back then. Hardly any Americans playing abroad - it was exciting.

Please, just read it. A synopsis wouldn't do it justice.
Do you want a synopsis of Star Wars (or whatever your favorite movie is) or actually watch it?

You just need to know how to speed read BigSoccer.

Also, I think BigSoccer can be really tedious and annoying sometimes. This thread shows how BigSoccer can be really positive.

 

I remember all of the talk about Elliot and Weah Jr as the new strike partnership along with both Adu's (Freddie and Fro). Good times. I hope that this thread is archived somewhere for posterity. US Soccer Hall of Fame? How about Bigsoccer.com Hall of Fame?

 

i did it instead of sleeping a few nights back, totally didn't regret it. i only regretted reading every post of like 30 plus pages of random tangents lol

 

This is also a DEF read

Thanks for this, I had never seen it before. Good read.

 

One page a day, if you can stop at just one.

 

People have time to do all sorts of things, and no time to do all sorts of other things.

 

You could read one post a day and still finish this thread in a shorter period than this thread has run.

Or you could wait for Parm's book.

 

*I* read the whole thread. Uphill both ways through snow up to my HIPS!!!!

Now get off my lawn.

 

This thread had it all.

The desperation posts about his availability for the US.
Persistent posts about his status
Posters having connections in clubs
The letdown (for some) in Italy like Bernardo and Ferrari

Would be in his prime for this WC.

 

Bumped for the people who've never read the thread.

 

any chance the Hawaiin is bobby wood?

 

Some people will never make love to a woman. So what? Stop asking for a ************** and enjoy the experience.

 

Nah..

... who, just to make those of us who are old feel old, is scheduled to be a college senior this fall!

 

While looking for something else this morning, I realized that I'm very disappointed in all of you YA long-timers who didn't bump this thread to argue that "Weston McKennie is NOT the first American at Juventus!!!" (Especially @Parmigiano!)

 

He is most certainly not. A clear oversight.

 

did he play??? I thought he was only listed?

 

He played for the Primavera team. Surely that means he was "at" Juventus. Of course, McKennie has managed to surpass that.

 

I know he was listed on the champions league roster

 

McKennie has never and will never play for the Primavera, so there's that

 

It's been almost 2 years since anyone has bumped the greatest thread in Big Soccer history...consider it done!

 

Always good reading during an international break.

 

Is this the Jordan Older thread?

 

Jordan is Older than the kid.
