    From what I've heard he just wasn't all that interested.

    I never got the impression that Marshall was a gym rat. I don't mean to infer that he was lazy or anything, he's a 12 year pro-athlete afterall. He just never struck me as a guy who takes one extra step than he has to. I could see him not being interested in the rigors expected at a national team camp. I can't imagine a beep test would be his thing.

    He was on the team that shit the bed in the gold cup. Every goal that went through him he would throw his arms up like it was someone else’s fault.

    He was done after that.

    Meh, there's a reason he never went to Europe. Marshall is a very good domestic defender, that is to be applauded. I think he lacked the athletic tools to play at international level though, and in Europe as well. No shame in that, still a solid player who's had a great career in MLS.

    Paved the way for Crew Legend Wil Trapp’s Olympic Qualification run.

    Except Trapp gets the captains armband at the senior level after so many failures at the lower level.

    God bless America!

    I would think some who's so publicly club over country wouldn't worry too much about who's captaining the national team in a string of exhibitions!

    Sometimes snark gets the better of ambivalence.

    Yeah, but that wasn't really the full national team either. That was one of my big problems; every time Chad got an opportunity, it wasn't the United States Men's National Team so much as it was the United States National Bunch of Guys.

    I'm sympathetic to the argument that his game may have been more suited to the league game than the international game, but I'm still surprised he didn't get more looks.

    Mediocre memories under Berhalter.

    I have high hopes for Porter.

    Go on and celebrate today. Take the family to Pav's and treat your hubby to a spiked milkshake. Create a cocktail with a porter and name it the Roo. Have some Pizza Oven. I'm willing to bet there's no line at New Baltimore.

    I've created a new cocktail I'm calling The PuttPutt.

    Pour 8 oz. Bourbon into glass, over ice optional. Stir. Consume contents of glass. Refill.
    Serves 1, repeatedly.
