I never thought I'd see the day, but could Michael Bradley's performances for Chievo put him in the C bracket? The guy's composure, passing and decision-making have almost emerged from nowhere and it's starting to translate to his international performances. While it comes on the heels of a very good result against Scotland, there's even substantial debate about him as the potential focal point of the US team.
How old is he, I havent seen Chievo enough to comment, so your opinion remains valid until someone comes in with something better.
Reading it again didnt mean that exactly, meant I have not see him so cant comment and so will take his opinion over mine until someone comes in with a far better one we can agree on.
Guys, I'm currently in the process of starting a new project to compile a Who's Who of international football. The aim is to give a brief 100ish word profile of hundreds of the game's top players in order to capture the essence of them. That would then enable people completely unfamiliar with them to quickly understand what they are all about, "scout" foreign teams and identify potential targets. Wikipedia is obviously fantastic, but the profiles are of a hugely changeable quality and often tell you very little. If anyone is interested in helping out then let me know. Cheers
Nice one. Benni is interested in helping too. Could you PM me your email address and I'll send you something over?
If anyone was interested, this is the output so far of this project: http://footballwhoswho.tumblr.com/
never heard of any of these people. and why is it that they all have positive reports? where are the guys who really suck? Why is Rooney, nani and carrick not profiled?
Basically we're starting with 600 of the game's leading players and then will hopefully be able to work down to the lesser lights with time. United players will follow as we reach their stage of the alphabet. We should potentially have included Anderson though.
sorry, i have come across this project before and i think it is great. i was feigning being a miserable old butt with my post, kinda sarcastic like. Good job.
Jovetic should be in the 'A' bracket at the very least. He's an exceptional talent and coveted by all of Europe's top teams. He would be in the 'S' group if it were not for his injury and Fiorentina's poor form.
Are you complaining? Because so far only A and B players have been listed... you know, players whose names begin with A or B and we only jussst started B.
This is a top top blog and a brilliant idea to boot. I think it has to be the go-to guide for players on the web.
Since you guys are working alphabetically, did you all consider displaying the names in the "Last Name, First Name" format? It might have made for easier reading but I'll admit I'm not an expert on these types of blogs and maybe you guys were going for a particular look. Pretty in depth stuff nonetheless.
