    Here's an interesting comment from an article about the first Wolves-Reading playoff game (http://football.guardian.co.uk/Match_Report/0,1527,953762,00.html):

    "It used to be said that, if Yorkshire wanted a fast bowler, all they had to do was to whistle down a mineshaft and one would come along. For those in need of a goalkeeper these days it appears possession of a voice that will carry the Atlantic is a necessity.

    Hahnemann, like Brad Friedel and Kasey Keller, is from the States and his acrobatic saves that foiled Kenny Miller and George Ndah would have met with the approval of his compatriots in the Premiership."

    Admitedly it's just one reporters opinion, but it's pretty cool to hear and see opinions like that, and such opinions and impressions certainly won't hurt Adin if he hopes to get another look in Europe.

    What's not cool is that Reading isn't getting promoted to the Premier League!!! Oh so close....

    do you think Keller, Friedel or Howard would've stopped that shot ? - He did a great job all season with Reading by the way...

    I don't know, I mean he was screened by the defender, and the shot went through the defender's legs.

    He kept them in the first game, that's for sure.

    Do you have to be bald or balding to be a good American goalie? Sucks for Adin then.
