Trivial, but always fun to see: Code: [size=2] Alegria, Jose 13 Barclay, Devin 19 Behonick, Michael 22 Carroll, Brian 16 Convey, Bobby 15 Curtis, Ali 17 Eskandarian, Alecko 11 Etcheverry, Marco 10 Ivanov, Galin 3 Kovalenko, Dema 6 Namoff, Bryan 26 Nelsen, Ryan 7 Olsen, Ben 14 Petke, Mike 12 Prideaux, Brandon 4 Quaranta, Santino 25 Quintanilla, Eliseo 20 Reyes, Milton 5 Rimando, Nick 18 Stewart, Earnie 9 Stoitchkov, Hristo 8 Stokes, David 2 Swann, John 24 Warren, Doug 1 Woodworth, Hayden 21 [/size]
I figured Dema would get 21 and 6 would be saved in case they got Harksey back. I guess not. Still, I wouldn't buy a #6 Kovalenko jersey yet. All the numbers 1 through 26 have been used except #23.
Or he can switch to #66. Sure, it's not a real soccer number. But we're not talking about a guy who's gonna get a lot of minutes.
and it wouldn't be the first time that number was worn in MLS... Alain Sutter wore #66 for Dallas in '97 and '98.
C'mon, look at the parallels: Thinks he's great. Wants a comeback. At one point was a good spokeperson for the game. Needs to retire soon.
And Ali switches to #17. Another one loaded with history... From http://www.frii.com/~persing/dcu_nums.html: Roy Wegerle Brian Bates Chris Albright Mark Lisi Henry Zambrano
But I guess with all the talent up front already, Ali is a nice guy to have for a thinning roster due to the usual injuries, call ups etc.
