Bruce Arena/USA Top 5 Ranking: Open Letter(USA Supporters) Dear Bruce, I want to thank you for leading us into the WCup round of 8, the FIFA world top 10 and taking us on this journey towards the Promise Land. If it is not too much trouble, will you please deliver us into the World top 5 rankings? We won't quibble over the details please just do it. (this might mean coming close to winning the Confederation Cup, but if you don't that's o.k. for now.) With that said, many of us supporters are getting worried at again seeing the ghost, Jovan Kirovski repeatedly back in the National Team Camp. Please don't be seduced by his silky touches and his false playmaker auora. It is a false seduction, it is a smoke and mirror trick played on the training ground. He will not be a presence in your games, offensively he will not dominate opposing defenses, he will not be a supreme contributor defensively. He is a ghost of a promise. Please send him back to play in the reserve team leagues in England where he can collect a big fat paycheck. Thanks and good luck this year. Think top 5, winning is the only answer! p.s. Remember not to be seduced by his silky training skills when you see Jovan today! It is a mirage. (other supporters may have other topics to discuss with you. See below)
Dear Bruce, It was nice of you not to disrupt MLS very much this weekend by relying mainly on teams who had a bye weekend and on Euros whose seasons have ended. Jovan probably appreciates the free ticket to California so he can visit his family after the game. Nancy
Bruce, Remember that golazo Kirovski scored in that game against Germany in your first year as USMNT manager? That was cool, wasn't it? ps: don't pay any attention to 'former baller'. I think its Razov's uncle.
