The Bruce is watching Ramiro

I almost had a stroke reading this.

Good interview, but check out the third from last answer he gives.

Rock on!!! Go Ramiro!!

Yep!
That'll be a great comeback (for those of you who don't know this - Ramiro already played in three games for US Nats in 1997-98: http://www.sams-army.com/index.php?Mlist=player&Pid=57)

OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This will be the greatest comeback since Frank Reich vanquished the Oilers on a crisp Buffalo afternoon.

It's also easy to forget that he was a member of the 2000 Olympics team that finished 4th...

His only interesting pick, but... good eye Bruce, good eye.

The only caveat I would add is Ramiro only approaches national team consideration in the middle of the park: one of two or three center mids or, experimentally, a center back.

New look players often get a flank job. This would not suit Ramiro.

He might be a choice at left back.

I'm glad for Ramiro. He's a solid player.

My thought has always been that he's too slow for national team duty, especially on the flanks. But he is so consistent, versatile, coo-headed and talented that I'm glad to see him get a shot.
