    Titled "Forward Thinking" by Liam McHugh

    It is about 5 short paragraphs talking about EJ & Edson Buttle. Quotes Arena saying that EJ's physical ability is "Outstanding". It also mentions his 4 goals in two national team appearances. Said that "Arena has been lacking forwards who can terrify opposing D's with speed & physical play". EJ says Edson (whom is named after Pele) "showed me what it takes to be a scorer...he is like my brother". They then go on to mention the World Cup in Germany in 2006 and say it is a realistic goal for them.

    :D

    I stopped my subscription on this mag because of their distinct lack of coverage of soccer, despite their "alliance" with MLS and USA soccer and having on the of the pre-eminent MLS writers on staff (Bradle).

    But I may have to take a look at this one.

    the only time I see this mag is when I'm at like a doctor or getting my ears lowered, and theres always ZERO soccer coverage, only exception to this was right before the WC when they had an article on the US.

    That being said I'd like to see this article, maybe when I go BACK to the doctor tomorrow :rolleyes:


    oh yea one more thing, we could have it worse on the soccer coverage part. Reading the DMN publication "Quick" at school today I found out that Dallas' pro women's football team (yea we have a team) won the championship and I guess on of our players was crowned MVP. Crazy huh.
