    I'm more of a Keller guy, but you have to give Brad credit for his outstanding play vs. Arsenal.

    My favorite quote in the article is this ... "The best of the bunch though is Blackburn goalkeeper Brad Friedel, who produced a series of superb blocks to deny Arsenal at Highbury. "

    Congratulations to Brad!

    The announcers called him "strech freidel" (as is in strech armstrong) at one point during the match. He made some fantastic saves reminicent of what he did for the US at the WC. Arsenal had so many chances and either brad stopped them or Arsenal couldn't finish. Cheers to Brad.

    P.S. not to mention he needs knee surgery to correct a problem.

    Superhuman performance, the announcer was counting shots on goal at a horrific clip..
