Hehe, his Bobble Head still sells there...
7/27: CL qualification, this should be a milestone for him. Hope he'll get fit for that game.
He 2nd in BH sales in Belgium (after Sergio Conceicao), I think they made only 500 of them and the Stadium stores are sold out. That EBay shop is...
He just want to be a free agent and pick his club. He's clever for that, even if it's financially harmful for Standard Liege.
Fully agreed. But NOT to a club that will never play UEFA. Yes, and in the worst case scenario, he'll play UEFA untill December. Whatever...
Europe is consolidating. You have the clubs playing CL and then the others OK if it would be Lyon, but the rest sucks. France is a small...
In their dream. Gooch won't step backward, he'll play CL. He just played 20 minutes since he didn't get the adequate preparation during his...
"You know you've done something when you have your own Bobble Head" :D Bobble Head store in Belgium
Cool, he looks like staying... At least he'll play a few CL games, which is better for experience and visibility.
Now, to the question "Does Gooch's tendancy of phantom fouls hurt? ", I answer a sounding NO We're glad that he's harsh on his marking, because...
The reason why Gooch got a yellow on Nedved was because he had to urgently leave Koller to fill up the defensive gap created by Donovan/Reyna.
In the Italy game, Gooch was alone in CD (and handicaped by Pope before his exclusion). He didn't get any booking. You can raise Ghana's game...
+1 ANY US player who thinks he deserve a spot in the US Nats starting 11 should be playing in a high league. Brasil players are playing in...
Landon Donovan is supposed to be a leader in MLS. He lead no one in June.
Now that's funny! You should put a [Ironic] tag in front of this Topic title. Just one example on how MLS is GOOD ENOUGH for a player...
We do have enough skills to compete against other nations. But we get too excited on players like Donovan, who didn't really prove anything...
WC06: Biggest defeat for Donovan after his lousy German experience. He should be defensive midfield, he can't attack.
Claudio Reyna is the first to be injured on his self-esteem. He had to get outta field for an honor strain.
To me, the real sad fact is that Landy did produce his best football against Italy, but it was mainly in defensive support. We need EJ or any...
No way, Gooch is marking his man. Nobody wanted to play 'OFFSIDE TRAP' (sic) on an inside FK. Especially if it's kicked by the AC Milano....
Besides Pope's stupid newbie attitude, the whole US team was correctly agressive on Italians. Even Oguchi Onyewu didn't receive any booking....
Yesterday Gooch lost only ONE duel. He's partly guilty on the first goal since he left Koller unmarked. BUT, on the second one, how could...
Well.......
I don't see Bruce removing Landy "Tourist" Donovan from the field. The guy already showed his lack of aggressivenes when he left Germany two years...
No defensive midfield, bad communication in Central Defense and no forward is bigger than a Hobbit.
