This is why I like Bedoya out wide. Looking back at WC 2002, we had 20 year old Beasley and Donovan. They played corner flag to corner flag and...
Arguably these two were at the core of our greatest strength: defense. I think the problem is clear, we just need more hair in the back....
Re: USA vs. Egypt, 2/9 - Pregame Thread It looks like you deleted mine which was a link to how credit markets have given Egypt a higher...

Buy Bedoya. Full disclosure, I liked Bedoya before the game. I watched the game once live on Saturday. But with a 2 year old that gets up...
gmonn, points well made regarding how other countries protect and nurture their young. With Adu -- exploitation Adu and his mother made a...
Yeah--true! Holden has been extremely effective. Though I wouldn't rate Holden as someone with 'flash' or 'flair' at this point in his career....
