I posted this same thing over in the MLS forum, but I want to hear your guy's opinion. What is your MLS Dream team?
The whole 2000 squad. G: Cannon D: Burns D: Calichman D: Clark D: Conrad M: Krakowiak M: Karapetyan M: Azizi M: Mulraine M: Tinsley F: Conteh For all of those who dont remember, we played the Christmas Tree formation
---Adin Brown--- R. Suarez---C. Bocanegra---H. Bo---T. Marshall (no Barret anymore!) -----Mastroeni----- E. Hendrickson---E. Buddle -----Donvan----- C. Mathis---T.Twellman
Seans on the money. It's all about Yves. I forget, how do you pronounce Yves? Question is, all-time, or players currently in the league? ..................Howard .....Reyes - Bo - Agoos - Victorine Olsen - Mulrooney - Mastroeni - Beasley ............Mathis - Donovan Subs: E. Robinson , Vaca, E. Johnson Hmm. Only 3 international starters and 1 sub. I guess I'm a big USA fan!
............_____....... ____._____.______-Yves blindfolded ..........______............ ______.........________ .........______........ _____........._______ vs. Brazil '70 with God upfront next to Pele and Vava... Yves, but it'd be close.
Agoos: Because he's a dam good defender. Victorine: A little lazy, but I couldn't think of a left back for the life of me (Corralles and Barrett excluded).
G-Howard LB-Barrett(i can't let go) CB-Bo CB-Bocanegra RB-Suarez LM-Beasley DM-Mastroeni OM-Donovan RM-Ralston F-Ruiz F-Cunningham
You know what, you call yourself a Quake fan but it doesn't appear that you really are! Goose is an awesome defender. A legend to both the MLS and US soccer. If you really are a Quake fan you'd learn to get over that stupid goal a long time ago! Mistakes happen! It didn't cost the team the game. So get over it! One own goal doesn't a poor defender make.
I never said that! Holzkopf!! But if you are a fan of a team you should at least appreciate what each player brings to the team. The contributions he has made. Bringing up that own goal was a low blow for a Quake fan to use against one of the best players to ever be on the team. Mach'ne fliegel, GoHawks4! I'm learning german for Germany 2006! Learning all the best stuff first! How'd I do?!
A stalwart MLS player, no doubt. San Jose's backbone in many ways. Internationally has been very good at times (Confed. Cup he was our best and was the glue that held us together). Had a horrendous W.C. obviously, and a few sketchy moments at the national level. Not a US "legend" but definitely has been of service on many occasions. And a fellow J.J. Pearce graduate...
Yeah I couldn't think of the right word. I was just t-ed off. But you know what I was getting at anyway.
I agree Erin, absolutely and emphatically. I don't know what it is about Goose that makes certain people want to continually rag on him. Didn't he make some defensive error in WC qualifying around 1996, another mistake that we never heard the end of until this one came around? The guy is still one of the best players in US soccer even with that error.
