He was a clean finisher, good on the ball and physical enough to win 50-50 balls. Probably the only semi world class striker America has produced.

I am unhappy that the England game turned out to be a total dud.....hopefully some people watched Sweden/Trinidad which was a more exciting match, but ABC had promoted the English match figuring it would be a draw for casual fans. <BR/><BR/>Soccer can never seem to get a break in this country. For the first time anticpation gripped segments of the population here and we got an awesome TV rating (the match was ESPN2's highest rated program thus far this year) and fell flat on our faces. Hopefully the impatient,and demanding American public will give us another shot and tune in this Saturday versus Italy on ABC.Kartikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00637710449573222655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28859744.post-1150332302225923672006-06-14T19:45:00.000-05:002006-06-14T19:45:00.000-05:00Wynalda is totally out of line for calling out Rey...Wynalda is totally out of line for calling out Reyna and Donovan. His criticisms of Arena are fine, but those two guys were the only two who showed up on Monday and yet he seems to be laying the poor effort on their shoulders while exempting Kasey Keller who is a buddy of his and longtime teammate. <BR/><BR/>Wyanlda was one of the boys who didn't like Reyna when they played together- he, Harkes, Ramos and the others "boys of mission viejo" or more aptly named "bora's boys/teacher's pets" resented Reyna's skill and the interest big Euro clubs had in him and Jovan Kirovski, who has since flopped. <BR/><BR/>Waldo is now getting his revenge on Reyna and it's totally out of line.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28859744.post-1150330848919754432006-06-14T19:20:00.000-05:002006-06-14T19:20:00.000-05:00I agree, Wynalda has done a good job.Somewhat disa...I agree, Wynalda has done a good job.<BR/><BR/>Somewhat disappointing is the duds that the heavily hyped England and USA games were. England was on ABC on the first Saturday presumably drawing the interest of some "on the fence" fans. The game put me to sleep. Then USA gets a decent rating on ESPN2 and lays an egg.<BR/><BR/>It may not be fair, but the lack of excitement generated by these two games really hurts the growth of the fan base of soccer here in the states.<BR/><BR/>A good performance by USA this Saturday is crucial to hooking some new fans.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28859744.post-1150328943607009992006-06-14T18:49:00.000-05:002006-06-14T18:49:00.000-05:00As a somewhat indifferent and occasional soccer wa...As a somewhat indifferent and occasional soccer watcher, I have to say that Wynalda's analysis is a pleasure to listen to, as it is presented very calmly and objectively, without hyperbole. He is a credit to American soccer. I also have to compliment Julie Foudy on her knowledge of the game.<BR/><BR/>I have much to my surprise watched 90% of the matches played so far and have to say as a Marlins fan, that Dave O'Brien is incredibly disappointing, not only in his play by play (limited knowledge), but also by mispronouncing the names of some of the countries. <BR/><BR/>I have enjoyed seeing the national pride and support shown by the people at the matches and the polite salutations and camraderie between the teams, even if it may only be on the surface. It is certainly a good example for all the kids who may be watching.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
