That poll was for the calendar year 2003. Friedel got off to a terrible start this fall and he didn't play any national team games. Timmy played for nats and had great runs with the Metros and now at Man. U.
Yea, but he had a fantastic year last season, which would be in 2003. This, along with the inclusion of Barthez shows how flawed this chart is.
