    Not saying I agree about Reyna, but how Donovan was left off that team with the tourney he had is rubbish.

    Yes, but on the other hand, Donovan was retroactively named the tournament's Best Young Player (though they didn't officially have the award in until the following tournament).

    Disagree. He was a true professional leader which is something the locker room needed after the 98 disaster.

    Claudio was before my time, so I never saw him at his peak or non-injured.

    McBride seemed to excel in the Premier League. He only scored like once every 4 games, but that seemed to be par the course for a relegation fodder club like Fulham (when he was there).

    i wonder why they didn't. seems quite bizarre when say a Pele emerged at the WC as a teenager.

    I predict he comes out of retirement during the middle of next year, announcing it in a rap video. He'll play for the Houston Dynamo and make one last attempt to break the national goalscoring record in League of Nations.

    That’s kind of my point; Donovan and Sanneh had better cases for inclusion but the world press had 1) heard of Claudio and 2) saw he was captain and ergo, he’s on the XI
     
    Marko72 and LouisianaViking07/09 repped this.
