The Red Bulls have an "All Time First 11" contest going on. Go vote for your favorites. Red Bull's All-Time First XI Better yet, spend the hour like I did and watch the individiual highlight vids for to relive some of our better days. By the end, I was saluting our teams over the years with a solid Jersey fist pump.
this is very well done. they make you do a 3-4-3..really hard to leave Gio off...if Mathis could be in the midfield I'd put all 4 out there. Altidore, Angel, Mathis DVB, Djorkaeff, Guevara, Donadoni Jolley, Petke, Parke Howard
I know, I know, there were a couple of ways I coulda gone over Stammler. But I played golf with him once, and he really is a great guy, so I'm giving him the nod. I must say, the biggest surprise was that Reyna wasn't in the list.
In the midfiled I really had a hard time narrowing it down to 4 of VDB, El Lobo, Tab, Donadoni and Youri. I don't think you can go wrong with any 4 of that group. The only real suprise for me among the nominees was Goldwaithe. Huh?!
Angel Savarese Mathis Chung Guevara DVB Djorkaeff Petke Pope Mendes Howard Damn, I forgot how exciting Faria was to watch back then. 1996 may not have had the talent of today but the effort and enthusiasm was certainly there. I miss the B&W jerseys from 1996.
Been voting since the contest opened. ......Woly Mathis Savarese Guevara Ramos Djorkaeff Gaven ......Petke Joley Parke ............Meola
Yeah, it was a tough call for me because I really loved watching Jozy. But I had to go with Gio, Cleetus and Juan Pablo. I also had a hard time between Pope and Parke, but figured that Parke was more a metro than Pope (due to the number of other teams he played for.) It was hard not finding a spot for Woly. Petke and Jolly were no brainers. But, like I said, silly contest and voting aside, I loved watching the player's highlight vids. Brought back some seriously great memories.
