Hence why I think he's overrated.

That being said, if he does leave Madrid whoever will end up with him will have a heck of a player on their hands.

i would honestly be 100% shocked if he left madrid. his "bust-up" with cron is just another media propoganda against cron. apparently he has zero friends, which anyone who follows the team can call complete bullshite on. the shite in el tragico got ramos in hot water with mou, but i honestly doubt a vice captain is going to up and leave. if the rumor was a seria a team, i'd be more concerned.
he's always been a liability at going forward too much, but i see 1 maybe 2 rb over him, so i'd not call him overrated

Ashley Cole, Patrice Evra, Philip Lahm, hell even Bale is a natural Left Back.

I thoroughly enjoyed that game last night. Whether it was the excitement of seeing the RWaB back in action or the gallon of Jack n Coke in my gut, that was fun. Some thoughts:

*I love the versatility of our attacking players. I think many countries fall into the trap of sticking kids at positions and making them too one dimensional, but we have so many guys who can play anywhere in the midfield or forward spots. Juan can play on the wing or inside, Shea as well, even Wondo, then you talk about guys like Dempsey and Cakes who offer the same thing.

*I'm really loving the way American soccer is changing its approach to the game. Tim Ream is a perfect example. There was very little route one ball going on and lots of great build up. The Wondo shot on goal in the first half and the penalty were all great examples of that, and it helps that the note above is true: our guys can move very fluidly without being completely out of sync.

*Competition for the final few Gold Cup slots is going to be fierce. Guys like Torres, Spector, and even Jermaine Jones have their work cut out for them. We could see a lot of guys we really like excluded from the mix, which is a delightful problem to have.

I'll go back and watch this one again more closely and more soberly, but I come away with the first impression of genuine excitement about the future.

I'd be surprised if he was in danger of not making the team. With consistent playing time again at Blackburn, I think he'll be right back in the mix.

Agree with just about everything Griffin.

Even though Spector is really coming on strong playing in the midfield, and Jones is a lock to make the US roster IMO.

We win that game against Chile if Burnbury and Agudelo start the game.

It appears the US is going to have some really promising attacking option in the future.

Agudelo
Altidore
Burnberry
Mwanga - Hopefully
