Look I know it's a big step down going from coaching mighty Deutschland with it's 3 World Cups to the USA where futbol (or soccer as it's known here) is a secondary sport at best. But look on the bright side. 1.You won't have a grumpy old fart like Beckenbaur on your case all the time. 2. You will be given free reign to do as you see fit. 3. The players will be in awe of you so no discipline problems. 3. And, the expectations aren't that high to begin with so if you make it out of the first round in 2010, you are a hero! I hope his US born kids can twist his arm and he'll decide to take the job. Heck, maybe even Herr Governer, Arnold Schwarzeneger will twist (or break) his arm!

I do not get what you are writing about and that has nothing to do with spelling. Stick with the topic and write in 100 words or less. Cesar, make your posts shorter and understandable please.

However, for all intents and purposes, he is just as slow as Gooch and half the size. I'm sorry Gooch isn't as good as Marquez, but Donovan isn't as good as Ronaldinho or Zidane either. Comparing US players to the VERY TOP players and sayin they suck is easy. However, they are still good players. This World Cup they underperformed, but they were also in the toughest group of the tournament and were still two posts and a dubious penalty from advancing. They did go toe-to-toe with the World Champs despite being down a man.... Cesar:

I would not worry about that. Also, I read Klinsi is now learning Spanish. I am sure that does not serve the purpose of being able to communicate with the housekeeper. The challenge, I believe, is finding the right players in a country the size of USA.

My point was that he shuts down some quality strikers so he is not bad. The worst defender this year for US was definitly Eddie Pope, that's an easy call. He was the one at fault for the Italy goal!! It was Pope's man that he was marking that he let go, trying to play an offsides trap when he wasn't suppose to. That's a bad play from a veteran. And the penalty called against Gooch was Bocenagra's fault! Were YOU watching? The correct play to make in his position was kick it out of bounce, instead he sends it in the penalty area like a doofus, and Gooch makes a CLEAN good clearance. The ref calls a penalty because quite frankly the refs sucked this WC. That same ref called the penalty against Italy in the final, which also wasn't a penalty and everyone knows that both of those weren't legit penalties. You can't blame a player for a bad call! No one claimed Gooch was the best centerback in the entire world, but his interest from Man Utd and Chelsea show that he's not NEARLY as bad as you think in your little world.

That way it might actually be somewhat coherent and not contain 8,000 spelling and grammer errors. Then again, I guess you are just pissed off and maybe this deprives you of your normal motor skills. Anyhow, it's very funny that you should mention Mexico and question whether ETucker has watched the US in the same posting. That clearly means, either you have not watched the US barring maybe the WC or you have no memory. As I clearly remember, Gooch shut down Borgetti like a champ. Dude was clearly frustated. They show a replay of that that stare Gooch gave him like every freakin US game, come on now. Secondly, he also did shut down Luca Toni, who is one of the better strikers in the world evidenced by the fact that he was the highest scoring striker in Serie A, a league that is extremely good defensively. Thirdly, if he is so slow and dumb why is it that Ghana the fastest team in the WC couldn't exploit that? Both of the goals they scored were gifts, one by Reyna and the other by the Ref. He had ONE BAD GAME. So did the whole freakin team against Czech Republic. He also is very young, so his upside is huge. I agree that he needs more experience to be a better player because his physical talents are definitly there. Once he gets a little older, he will be quite a good centerback for sure.
