Can you explain why? Based on the information I've been told he has much more right to play for Italy than some of the guys we are trotting out there.

Agreed, he's been here long enough to warrant it, I'm excited to see how he plays with this extra motivation now. Grant Wahl tweeted that a member of the team told him they think JK gave it to Deuce to possibly make him think ab the rest of the team more

“Our team has always been made up of players who come from different backgrounds, which has been a source of strength for the group,” Howard told SBI on Wednesday. “No matter where players are from, the pride in wearing the U.S. shirt is the only thing that matter to us. “We have a great group of guys who are all committed to the cause, and the morale and the camaraderie remains high,” Howard said. “We are completely unified in our ultimate goal, which is to qualify for the World Cup.”

Yo, hands. Just read this on More Sports Board:

This is why I can't watch soccer. All of those fairies flopping around everywhere.

You conflicted, man?

How closely do you follow the national team?

Not as closely as I used to. I don't even know some of the players, which is odd as the former coach. Players on the national team should be -- and this is my own feeling -- they should be Americans. If they're all born in other countries, I don't think we can say we are making progress.


- Bruce Arena

Guess I'm not the only one? Or I guess Bruce Arena is just a "myopic" "insular" dick as well?

Sounds like it. I guess I should go tell my wife's cousins who were born on base in Germany that they aren't Americans either.

Yours was good.

In all seriousness I have talked to 6-7 people about this and everyone agrees it's kinda bs. Why is this board ok with it?

Nah, just trying to understand the rationale behind being ok with people who have not been to the United States representing them on such a level.

But you can continue avoiding the questions and carrying on with childish insults if that makes you feel better.

Again, that was only one or two players that had never been to the US prior to first training or visited just before.

I was off on Williams by a month or so.

Either way, that's one or two players who should not be on the team. Which was my main point from the beginning.

Step 1: RandySavage posts opinion/trolls.
Step 2: Knows RS trolls from time to time. Everyone posts opinion saying his opinion sucks. 10 Pages of back n forth comments.
Step 3: ????
Step 4: Do not profit.
