    Hopefully he is only trialing for experience because i am sure his Dutch college coach at USF was counting on him being a part of a run to try and recapture a West Coast Conference title after winning two league titles and then coming in 2nd last year. Also his coach was probably planning on being at full strength in trying to break through beyond the 1st round of the tournament after being one and done 3 years in a row. Hard to imagine his parents changing their tune on his education also, but the call of the game and its challenges sometimes has much more pull.

    So I guess Conor took it on the chin in his first trial (I know I deserve a neg reg for that ha ha ha) but that's fairly normal. Hopefully, he took a great deal from his experience and trys his luck elsewhere or returns to USF fully motivated by the trial. Not the end of the world for the kid.

    But only because Haarlem had already found what they were looking for.

    If he'd made it, would he have become internationally ranked?

    Yeah but sometimes you can't make it on your own.

    But now he's back In God's Country, so if he got Stuck in a Moment, he can Get Out of It. Hopefully the whole experience will give his game some Elevation.

    Not to mix metaphors, but while he wouldn't be internationally known, he'd be known to rock the microphone.

    Much Adu about Edu this season? As far as I'm concerned, though, it's a Wynne-Nguyen deal for all involved.

    For those of you refering to Taylors "commercial" you should do a little research before spouting off. That is a clip from a bussiness card given out at a show. He does how ever have a commercial for that company on Fox Soccer Channel. I saw it during one of the MLS games. Nothing like that clip. Hint! Speak only of what your sure of, makes you look smarter.

    Unfortunatly these guys don't make enough. Half the MLS could make more at McD's.
