    I think you forgot Miles Joseph- but I'll throw my hat into the ring.

    Cheers!

    There is still much left to do, however.

    This entire team has the heart of Frankie Hejduk

    and don't forget Frankie. I remember watching the 1998 WC with my girlfriend, She didn't understand why I was upset seeing the US crash out of the group in spectacular fashion. Especially the Reyna shot off the crossbar against Iran. Frankie was one of the few bright spots on the team.

    I think its a little early for this kinda stuff. Some of the guys on your list went much deeper into the Cup then we are now...they don't need a dedication for getting out of the group. But I appreciate what your trying to say.

    Davies must REALLY be kicking himself now. He didn't get to be a part of the Algeria match...
