I think DFB is pretty much spot on except that he may value Ching a little too highly. Howard also may be hotter right now than either Friedel or...
Baton Rouge, Birmingham, Denver, Seattle & Philly will never get qualifiers played in the fall. Well, at least not until soccer replaces football...
There is another, rather exhaustive, thread on this, but... The US wins in Foxboro and that is the only reason there are qualifiers. You can...
I don't understand all the talk on this board about using O'Brien as a back for the USMNT. He has stated that he prefers to play in the midfield....
He's fast, he hustles, he actually knows how to play defense and has better skills than Hejduk, who also started out as a midfielder. I think he...
Isn't Wynalda the leader in number of goals scored for the USMNT? Perhaps McBride has passed him by now, but do you really think a guy who played...
Frank Simek, having already suited up for Arsenal (the best side in the Premiership last season) in a League Cup match, would seem to put him...
I think there will be players who may not even play in the qualifiers that will play significant roles the team in 2006. Beasley & Mastroeni...
I was at UCD.
McBride equal in any way to Henri? And you want to be taken seriously? Equivalent to nine games because he isn't good enough to start?
Mastroeni has started in a WC. Boca starts in the EPL. Gibbs has started in the German B1. Casey has started in German B2 and at the Olympics....
McBride didn't score too often with Fulham this season. If you combine it with the time he spent at Everton last year it would probably be...
Left back or left midfield primarily in a 4-4-2.
There are a number of issues relating to venue choice for WC Qualifiers. FIFA has requirements like no astroturf, minimum widths etc. Not all...
Re: EJ is ready for BA Didn't he have some success playing right midfield with the U23 in Olympic qualifying? Perhaps he might be more effective...
Kirovski has always had some skill. The problem is that he is simply not as athletic (quick, strong, agile) as the similarly skilled, world class...
I played while attending graduate school in Ireland. I possess dual citizenship and my cousin was managing the side at that time. It took nearly...
Re: EJ is ready for BA A camp call up doesn't seem unreasonable for a guy that has played well on the U20 & is performing in MLS. I don't think...
Re: How would the USA do in EURO 2004? I was just responding to the fact that the USMNT has had trouble with European sides in the past, but the...
Re: How would the USA do in EURO 2004? If the matches were held somewhere other than in Europe (just as improbable as the US being in the...
The USSF makes their money off the price of the ticket and officially sanctioned merchandise. They have to pay a rental fee to the facility and...
Yes, ODP is a sure way to be seen, though I understand it is expensive today. When I played, I don't remember having to pay for anything....
My wife and I were at Maradona's last game in Foxboro as well. My wife took a picture of me feeding our oldest child (then four months old) and...
Thanks Mginbea. Granted, the French were very good, (the same core group of players would be WC semifinalists three years later and win the Euro...
I believe Banks played at UWM and he was pretty bad. Most of the guys mentioned have no business suiting up in the World Cup, but they can't...
