luol_deng Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Thats interesting... Poland ? Why? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I really dunno why it was more of a wild selection...I know any of the other two in Ecuador & Costa Rica can reach the 2nd stage...but i just went along with Poland...more likely Ecuador will go through but then Costa Rica could defeat them...like i said it was a wild selection and those three teams are wild as they come...

mauiboy Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Yea nice game Czech sure did pawn ass ! US i think should send their players in Euroopean clubs cuz they still play the old type of set pieces and tactics.<{POST_SNAPBACK}> it's not just a matter of them sending their players to european clubs to improve their game, the question is, are there european clubs willing to take them in to their fold? tim howard was a flop at goalkeeping during his stint at manchester united.but on a brighter note,there is this american striker that plays for everton in the premiership.i think his name is mcbride,name escapes me at the moment.

First Division in the U.K has tons of clubs, they could send their players over there for training and there are also La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A even Russian League.. there are a lot of opportunites but its always about Americans having a mind set of they will knw everything in their country.. Clubs should promote internship programs or they could just go to the top clubs in reserves and not in the first team. Lots of chances there Quote Link to comment

Lots of chances there <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yes there are tons of clubs who can take them in but its a matter of clubs wanting to take them in and spending money on them...im very sure there are heaps of USA players that went to Europe doing alot of trails with major clubs but were unlucky to get in...Its like Japan, Nigeria & a few others that have talented players but fail to make impact in Europe... Heres the list of USA-Euro based players 10 out 23: Tim HowardKasey KellerMarcus HahnemannCarlos BocanegraSteve CherundoloEddie LewisBobby ConveyClaudia ReynaDaMarcus BeasleyBrian McBride and John O'Brien played for Ajax before moving back to the USA because of injuries... and the most popular USA player Landon Donovan had a brief spell in the Bundesliga with Bayer Leverkusen but failed to make any major impact so went back to MLS however one of the main reasons why he turned his back on Europe was because he wanted to spend more time with his soon to be wife actress Bianca Kajlich. In future i can see Edward Johnson & Freddy Adu going over to Europe and making a name for themselves... Edited June 12, 2006 by luol_deng Quote Link to comment
