San Jose - Kansas City pregame Bay Area newspaper articles (Saturday, 11/15/03)

``I'll do everything I can to get on the field, unless I can't walk,'' said Agoos, who will start at left back for the second consecutive match, away from his usual position in the middle.

Now there's a captain's quote if I've ever heard one.

That's one thing that makes Jeff Agoos so special-- leadership by example.

And as an aside, note the lineup hint above. Even a bigger clue that Frank Yallop may very well stick with the same lineup that all in all, produced five goals against the Galaxy.

No doubt about it, Goodsie. A move tailor-made for Spartan, especially given that the left back position, as I said last week about its implementation in Frank Yallop's system, is a position of attacking influence. Agoos can definitely serve balls into the attacking half from that position.

His lack of footspeed-- which, in fairness, was also noted in Dylan Hernandez's article in the Mercury-News for being responsible for L.A. to grab that early 2-nil lead last weekend-- would definitely be better served in the middle at the HDC.

But hell or high water, Jeff's gotta be out there, for the big games. Have to have his presence and influence out there.

Can't wait for the game today... Sunday afternoon, my time here.

 

The sixth bullet down, but at least it's a mention.

 

That clinches it...his #12 goes on my 2003 blue jersey.

 

I was waiting for somebody to say he was totally slamming the quakes.
