Soccer America cover story on Clive Charles The January 20 issue of Soccer America has an outstanding article about Clive Charles, with a picture of Clive, Shannon MacMillan and Tiffeny Milbrett on the cover. It has wonderful testimonials by numerous WUSA and MLS players who were Pilots, including Milbrett, MacMillan, Michelle French, Wynne McIntosh, Chris Brown and Steve Cherundolo. The degree of love and respect Charles inspires in both male and female players is extraordinary. "Tiffeny Milbrett calls Portland's overtime triumph over Santa Clara in last month's NCAA Division I women's final "the best day of my life, hands down." Shannon MacMillan concurs: "Hands down, it's the highlight of my career"." A great article on an exceptional coach and person. I hope SA makes it available on their website.
