Vote for your favorite American who is playing in a foreign league. I realize there are others, but I only have so many spaces!
How is it that this poll has been up since Jan 1st and I'm the only other person that has voted in it?
McHead. The stuff B-Mac has done for the Nats and USSF as a whole is great. He's gotta start producing like the old days now that he's being put on the pitch regularly, but he's a wonderful player, bottom line...
I've said it before-- picking a favorite YA is like trying to pick which of your children you like the most! Landon Donovan for me, for his exploits with the Quakes and the USA. Based on that, I'm already convinced and confident that he will do great things in Germany, so he gets my vote. Of those already there and have proven themselves in battle, got to go with Carlos Bocanegra.
Brian Mcbride, the guys definitely doing well. We'll have to see what good ol' Donovan does on his debut, but i'm sure he'll find his way into the starting lineup in no time.
Right now Bocanegra is my fav, but I'm too excited about Landon Donovan. He's gonna be back with a vengance
John O'Brien is my pick - hopefully he'll recover from his series of injuries to make it back to play for the Nats. I'll never forget how he played in the 2002 WC in Korea/Japan.
Eddie Pope. He REALLY needs to be on that list. Arguably the best player in US history! He has it all. Skill, speed, intelligence, experience, aggressiveness. A coach's dream player.
Opps!!! *Pulling foot out of mouth* My apologies. Answered too quickly with out thinking about the "abroad" caveat.
I must agree on Beasley. He is a priceless and irreplaceable player. Other teams cannot keep up with his pace. With out him the USMNT would be hurting. He does not get recognized a lot, but he has made a huge impact on the US game. The team would be entirely different without him.
