world cup team visits the white house.

Cool a little extra coverage for the Men's National Team, soccer, and hopefully a little plug for MLS and the allstar game.

 

It is pretty cool for the Nats to visit the Shrub.

I heard MLS officials arranged the meeting so overseas coaches would have a reason to release players other than the MLS All Star match.

Haven't seen the roster. So I don't know if the plan worked or not. Are Reyna, JOB, Sanneh, Regis, Stewart, et. al. expected?

 

Yess, I just caught this on Good Morning America too. I'm surprise this is not mentioned on ussoccer.com or mlsnet.com

 

Not this administration, but I believe DC United partied at the White House w/ Clinton after one of their MLS Cups.

 

i read it in a few places yesterday... not sure where though

 

And now we bring you another Princess Bride segway. . .

"Good Luck storming the castle, boys"

"Do you think it'll work? Will soccer take over America?"

"It'll take a Miracle."

 

Re: Re: world cup team visits the white house.

Lucky for WUSA they didn't exist until he left office.

 

Is that the Strike Farce?

 

There was a picture in my elevator (we have the ones with TV in them) of Bush posing with the team and his new jersey (#43).

Good general exposure! America still cares or at least the people at captivate do.

 

Why no. 43? I should probably know this, but is he the 43rd president of the US?

 

no, they told him that soccer rosters have 43 players on them

 

President George Bush, the least intelligent president of the United States ever, receives a "shirt-thing" from members of the U.S. National Soccer Team, Friday, Aug. 2, 2002, in the Oval Office of the White House. From left to right are: Cobi Jones, Clint Mathis, coach Buce Arena, Bush, Tony Meola, Chris Armas and Josh Wolff. Bush congratulated the team on Friday for the most successful effort by the Americans in the World Cup tournament in 72 years. The number "43" represets Bush's presidential number.

Man, this post went over my head.

 

fifa site has a team photo in bush's little hole...
well, not the whole team.some

 

Dr. Bob presents President Bush with Luis Hernandez's Mojo.

 

Stand up straight Pablo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Never get into a battle of wits with a Sicilian when DEATH is on the line.

 

I think Dubya said something about the teams 'soccericity' and this was the highlight of his presidenting career.

 

Tony Meola, the 3rd-string goalkeeper for the US Men's World Cup Soccer Team, eyes a pretzel on the ground near President George Bush's feet.

 

President Bush brings back the "good old days" of US domestic policy by making all of the team's black players stand at the back of the line.

 

I thought it was a great quote. You guys are WAY too sensitive.

And its spelled "dumbest."
