So says today's Boston Globe: http://www.boston.com/sports/soccer/articles/2005/07/21/pope_wheels_back_into_action_for_us/ FWIW, I think it's a bad move reinsertnig him at this point. For one thing, Conrad's done well, and for a second... I don't want a gimpy, aging defender with negligible pace suting up to defend against the likes of Milton Nuñez and others. The Magpie
nahhhh. don't be so hard on eddie. he's never been like those older gimpier players that bruce has always liked to keep around. he doesnt need so much pace with all that intelligence and positioning
It would not make a difference IMO, unless Pope was to perform ala Spector in the U-20s (that is, when not fully recovered) And about who is to cover Milton.... that is more likely the job of our LB (Vanney) which already worries me enough....
he is 31.Since when is that "aging"? Aso, I bet he is still one of the fastest players on the USA team.
