DISQUS

It's cool how Fulham went from 2 in the UK to 7 in the US, even though McBride and Bocanegra have left.

Although we might still find Fulham very likable - beautiful stadium, small grounds in big city, etc.

One thing that would be interesting is to list their occupations. A lot of these guys are dentists and piano teachers, etc.

Previosuly I said that McBride being on the Olympic team this year "doesn’t reflect very well on him." Those aren't the harshest words, so there's no reason to be so offended.

My point elaborated: McBride has been in the World Cup squad twice and had been a starter for Fulham for years, maybe he should step aside and allow newcomers some limelight - especially at the Olympics of all events.

And yes, Euro 2008 is definitely more important than the Olympics. Why would you contest that? Sorry, all.

Lastly, what's with the center-justification on this blog?

The Olympics have always been a celebration of non-professional & youth talent. It's sad when millionaires want steal the glory away from amateurs.

The fact that Brian McBride is going to play for the US Men's Olympic team doesn't reflect very well on him. The US should be looking for new talent with the Olympics, not mediocre has beens.

If ugly was valuable, Teves would be a billionaire. But yes I think he is probably worth 32 million pounds; what's another exhorbitant contract in the EPL?

Don was kind of embarassing when he was in the Bundesliga; he was given the start for Leverkusen on loan from Dortmund, he told the media in a normally reticent country that his team would absolutely win the next CL match (American optimism, right?). He was subbed out at the 40th minute and Leverkusen lost badly.
