O'Brien is kind of like Holden. He had one outstanding year and then kept getting injured. It's really unfortunate, and I feel terrible for the guy, but I wouldn't even put him on the list of the top 10 American outfield players

Dempsey, Donovan, Beasley, Bradley, Reyna, McBride, Ramos, Cherundolo, Harkes, and Lalas have all done more in their careers, and I know I'm forgetting others.

Sacha Kljestan, who rarely factors in for the US, has been a starter for Anderlecht for the past 4 years. That should answer questions about our player pool, right there.

Bocanegra did well at Fulham and Rangers. So shitty that he's at Chivas USA. Hopefully he can get to somewhere else in MLS before he retires. Edu did well at Rangers as well.

Gooch spent time at Newcastle, AC Milan, Malaga.

Really right now we're in a transition period where our older players' best days are behind them and they're back in MLS for the most part, and most players younger than them, haven't really reached their prime yet.

I can find it but there's a quote where they say OBrien is best US player. He was probably biggest reason US made the Qtrs. That to me is a statement on his ability.

I understand what you are getting at though.
