another note its not necessarily a bad thing that our U20 national team goals tonight were scored by 2 16 year-olds
Question. Can we safely assume that Spector will not be allowed over for the qualifying in January or must he be released for that?
I think, just in case they should be planning not to have him. If he gets loaned to West Brom i dont think he will, but if he is still with Man Utd with healthy players in front of him I think there is a good chance we might see him. Though im not sure the schedule with the league cup so that might be another thing that holds him back. If reserve action is the only game action that will be in his way during qualifying i would think we mmight see him. Didnt he leave Man Utd last year during the season in Feb. i think? When the u20's were playing against MLS squads in FL that were getting ready for the upcoming MLS season? If he is released and he does show up it will be a huge advantage for our u20's
So, is it safe to assume that Zimmerman is the alpha male of this current Bradenton group? Is he in the Donovan/Beasley, Johnson/Quaranta, Adu/Gaven category? And, will he be signing with MLS this winter or waiting a year? And, does he have any interest in Europe? Nice for Sigi to get a W. I have no idea what kind of quality Honduras is, but I do like that, minus their best defender (and several of their best mids) the US held Honduras without a SOG till the 88th minute and came away with a clean sheet.
He became the captain late in the game when the captain (Arturo Alvarez) was subbed off. Of course Freddy then scored and was promptly taken out of the lineup, and I assume a 3rd person had the armband.
He is the alpha or beta. He and Ryan Soroka who subbed in for freddy. Soroka is still small and young looking so i'm not seeing mls this time. Zimmerman is ready for p-40.
I personally have been a Zimmerman supporter since the beginning. Not only is he a great guy and player, he always does the right thing as a person off the field. He was kind enough after the game to call a girl on his club team Crossfire to wish her luck at the national camp this next week. Nothing but pure class and I'll never be able to thank him enough. Thanks Preston and good luck against mexico sunday to answer the above question of his interest in professional soccer...Europe
IMOX77, you are correct. The third picture is Marvell Wynne, not the first one. Thanks for the photos.
Well tomorrow is his 16th birthday (Happy Birthday Preston!!) so unless he can come up with an EU passport, he'll have to wait a while (at least two years) on that.
The Miami Herald wrote a about a 12-inch column summarizing the game. However, it is not posted on line yet. It was a pretty good story. This link to the Miami Herald's soccer page: http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald/sports/soccer/. You may wish to try it later in the day to see whether this morning's article gets posted: Unfortunately, nothing on The Sun Sentinel yet. Rusnak is a good columnist http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/soccer/ Question: Is that Chico Borja's son on the team? As in Chico Borja of 1980s MISL fame.
I expect that he's no relation ... it's not such an uncommon surname, and iirc, this Borja is Mexican-American, while Chico was born in El Salvador.
In the other game, Mexico came from behind to beat Brazil 3-1. (Spanish-language piece) http://www.azcentral.com/spanish/sports/articles/sports_127547.html
If it means 2 years of waiting, europe is the preference over MLS. That doesn't mean MLS is totally out, it's just a preference of what's considered a real league was the impression i got from him.
You're setting him up to be everyone's whipping boy here. Unless you have a direct quote, don't write what YOU think he's feeling.
He can sit around on his butt for two years or make 80,000+ dollars a year and try to play well enough to go overseas. It's a super obvious choice to make, I'd think that if he and Ellinger have a good relationship he'll end up at RSL.
Q: What do the following players all have in common? Freddy Adu Cory Gibbs Ned Grabavoy Jovan Kirovski Chad Marshall Tony Sanneh Danny Szetela A: In spite of previous reports that they weren't interesting in joining MLS, they all joined the league in 2004.
