[nas] Richmond v Rochester [R] (1st leg of East semi)
Score line at the final whistle: 1 - 1
Game summary:
http://www.richmondkickers.com/news/0919002Rochestergamesum.htm
My observations:
Good match overall. There was a questionable call in
the box with a 'back pass' to the Rhino's keeper
(Onstad) in the second half. Questionable in the sense
that it wasn't called and probably wasn't due to the
positioning of the ref and the linesman relative to
the ball. To the officials it appeared as a possible
shot on goal. From my angle, with the "Corner Kicks",
it should have been called.
Fox (Richmond) got red carded early in the second
half. So he will not be available. Demin played a good
portion of the match limping slightly. I think the
only reason that the Rhinos coach did not pull him is
that it may have left a gaping hole in the Rhino's
back line.
It became clear to me that the main reason that Onstad
had a .75 GAA going into tonight's matchup was due to
the defensive style of play of the Rhinos. Counter
then drop back on D. (Kind of reminded me of MLS Cup
2000, but that's another matter . . .)
Richmond appeared flatfooted for most of the match.
They need to pick it up if they want to make it past
Rochester to get to Milwaukee. They will be without
Fox, despite being a Defender, he pushed far up the
right wing on the attack. The red card was for a
'last man' offense. Not too rough but the right call,
nonetheless. Henderson scored the goal for Richmond.
They also used all five of their subs. I belive the
Rhinos only used 2.
The crowd was nice (3327). A little quiet from time
to time compared to what I'm used to (i.e. wall of
noise). The weather was perfect.
Other cute observation:
At halftime I noticed a little kid no older than 3
dart past me. He paused and looked toward the pitch
then took off running down the wheelchair ramp. I
glanced over and thought that I spotted his dad who
was engrossed in conversation with friends. Next thing
I know, the kid had slipped through the field gate
near the base of the ramp and was trotting to where
the Kicker bench was warming up. He proceded to warm
up with them. Jogging back and forth and even trying
to run backwards. The Kicker who was nearest the
pressbox side corner was having fun with the kid. Like
it was all normal. Dad finally notices the kid missing
and someone points out to the field. Dad was probably
relieved and amused at the same time. He went down to
the gate and was allowed on the track to get the kid.
The kid didn't come off until it was time to clear the
field for the second half. The kid didn't want to go.
He was having too much fun and wanted to "tell" all
the Kickers who were nearby goodluck with a
"high-five".
Ah, the unintentional halftime shows are the best. :)
I had a good time.
If any Corner Kickers are on this list, thank you for
letting me hang out with you. Cheers!

You betcha. FIFA got lucky this one single time, and put us in exactly
the right spot. I'm definitely not defending the ranking system as a
whole, just that we are indeed the 8th best team in the world.
Likewise, after WC98, we were overrated by the FIFA rankings. I just
think it's strange that in this case, the USA placed 8th in BOTH the
World Cup, and in the FIFA rankings--what objective evidence is there to
the contrary?
It obviously all depends on what you want any ranking system to
rank--current quality vs. long-term quality. But it is utterly
incomprehensible to me that if Turkey, for example, had won the World
Cup, that many of y'all could with a straight face say the next day that
they're not the best team in the world. That logic basically says the
World Cup is nothing but 64 glorified friendlies. All this is about as
logical as determining team rankings by who has the largest gross
payroll.
And again, once real games start again, with Euro qualifiers, Copa
Americas, etc., all my blather diminishes in importance. I'm saying
this simply because we are still in the immediate wake of the World Cup
(you know, what used to be called the Football World Championship
because it determined the World Champions).
Anyway, I'm done here. I just can't reason with you people! ;)

Sheesh. What's with the prejudice-jibe you are laying on Bruce? I thought he
made a good point. The more green-carded players taking jobs in MLS, the
less there are for players who could develop into U.S. national teamers. One
of the problems with the NASL is that you had so few americans getting
playing time. Yes, there is no current national teammer not getting playing
time because of a green-carded player, but that isn't his point. He's
worried about players with potential. He doesn't need to be concerned about
the level of MLS play nor how much some Dallas dude loves his team. His
concern, as *national team coach*, is to identify and help develop talented
players for the U.S. player pool. If a USian is riding the pine because a
green-carded player is in the spot, his development will be stunted. It is
the equivalent of an Eddie Lewis going over seas and riding the pine for
Fulham. You develop more by getting playing time than you do just practicing
with a team in a better league. Where would Donovan be if he stayed in
Germany? Not on the WC team, imo.

There are several million people in Europe who would disagree with you. But
thanks, I needed good giggle after a tough day. I think WC euphoria has
gotten into your head. No way we are the 8th best team in the world.

I guess I didn't explain it well enough in my last email.
FIFA Ranking = Best team overall
WC Championship = Best team over 7 games
What if we had not finished 8th? What if we finished first? Would we be the
best team in the world? Wait...I know your answer. "You betcha!"
Let me try to argue this another way. If we played Brazil, current world
champions, and we beat them, would be now be considered the best in the
world? I mean, in your world a stretch of seven games is more indicative of
quality than a year's worth of results. So why wouldn't one game be just as
valid?
Of course it wouldn't, because maybe Brazil had a bad day. Well, France had
a bad tournament, much because they lost a key player. So should they now
have the rank of 32nd in the world?

Consider us both incomprehensibled. It completely escapes me how you can
come to the conclusion that you did.

Oh...is that what it does?
It determines the best team OVER A LIMITED STRETCH OF GAMES. The shorter
your stretch of games, the more likely that "the weird" will happen (i.e.
Zidane injury).
KNOCK...KNOCK...KNOCK...is this thing on?

the main players are US players.
Re:(2) -- if you want to develop potential, they have to play with =
players who know the game. Even if you have all of the best USians come =
over, you still need more players who know the game and how to be =
professionals to make it work.
And quite frankly, to get cheesed off at someone because they buy into =
America enough to get a green card is a slap in the face. I can tell =
you that Eddie Johnson and Ryan Suarez are going to be much better =
players because of Oscar Pareja -- so yeah, how much he loves his team =
IS important. And I think the same will apply to Jordan Stone. And if =
you don't know those names, then maybe you might want to look into the =
details of the potential that you want to develop.
Re: (3) -- name them. More to the point, name the ones who are having =
their growth stunted. And as someone who has watched Eddie Johnson =
develop very slowly -- partly because he was 17 when he joined the team, =
through no fault of his own except because he is damn talented -- I =
think it is also smart that he had to earn his spot. And funny this, by =
taking it from another US player, Bobby Rhine. (Cerritos' contributions =
to this season are mostly letting us get rid of Ariel so that Jason can =
be the player he was and a handful of starts, all enhanced by a great =
example of professionalism that I hope Eddie took careful notes of.)
Let's take another example -- DMB. A great MLS player now, obviously =
one with talent worth of the MNT. But when he started in MLS, he was as =
immature as they come. Again, not through any fault of his own -- the =
guy was young. Unfortunately for LA, they traded him right before he =
came into his own. But do you think that DMB would be half the player =
he is now without Hristo and Peter?
Sure, pt is important. But so is developing talent at the right pace. =
It was good to see Bobby Convey score tonight (from a USian point of =
view -- certainly not from a Burn point of view) because since he joined =
the league and had a modicom of success early on, he has basically been =
non-existant. I am sure that was real good for his development.
How many US players litter the landscape having been the "next great US =
soccer hope?" Claudio almost succumed to it. Luckily, Landon didn't, =
and hopefully he has enough of a supporting cast that he doesn't (he is =
still real young).
And no, Landon wouldn't be half the player he was if it weren't for two =
things -- San Jose's MLS season in 2001 and the time he got with the MNT =
in 2002. Keep in mind, the difference between the Landon who played in =
Korea in 12-01 was nothing compared to the Landon that played in Suwon =
and Jeonju in 6-02. I have no doubt that pt is important.
But so is the right leadership. I think the images that will stick with =
me most will be the bookends of the US games -- Earnie and Landon. Once =
before the Portugal match and once after the Germany match. And funny =
that, Earnie isn't exactly 100% American, is he?
My point? First, yes, I take exception to Bruce calling Dallas out as a =
bad example of anything. We're not the best team in MLS, but we haven't =
missed the playoffs -- ever -- and have a championship to our name. =
We're better than half the league this year and players like Oscar and =
Zarco are key components of that. And yes, the Burn look to do quite a =
bit of developing talent over the next two to five years.
But the reason why I put this also on NAS is that I think it is very =
short-sighted of Bruce. Let me rephrase something -- where exactly did =
the US get Carlos Llamosa? Could it have been through a green card? =
And while Diego Gutierrez has yet to make a serious dent in the US =
player pool, he isn't a slouch, either. And I think it is also safe to =
say that many an MLS right wing and many an MLS forward have been =
bettered by playing against him. (I wish I could raise the issue of =
Chris Armas with some authority, but I don't know if he carried a green =
card although I know he had that issue with playing for Colombia in an =
unsanctioned youth tournament.)
So until you have a group of US players -- at least one per team -- who =
aren't getting pt because of too many green card players, I think Bruce =
is being short sighted.
And yes, I do think that the divide between the middle-class, usually =
white-folk players and the foreign-born players is an issue that the Fed =
and MLS will have to address. Your example of Landon is a perfect one =
here. If you know Landon like a Qlash fan should, then you know he =
learned Spanish by playing with Hispanic players, not in a classroom or =
from family. I think it is safe to say that a good bit of his playing =
style comes from that same education group. Why do you think his vision =
is so sharp? Why do you think the mental side of his game is so far =
ahead of so many US players?
And so I am worried about it as a fan of the US team. We need players =
like Marcelo Balboa, Tab Ramos, Claudio Reyna, Landon Donovan, Carlos =
Llamosa, DMB, etc. -- players who were either not born in the US or were =
influenced by players who weren't born in the US. By saying what he =
did, Bruce is either (A) showing his bias against Dallas, or (B) showing =
a bias against non-US-born players. The former, while if true is =
frustrating to a fan of that particular team, is no real big deal -- =
every NT coach has teams they like and teams they don't. The latter, =
though, worries me deeply because it belies a limiting attitude about =
player who in some situations will help the team directly, and others =
indirectly. Once again, Carlos Llamosa.

(1) Sheesh. What's with the prejudice-jibe you are laying on Bruce? I =
thought he made a good point. The more green-carded players taking jobs =
in MLS, the less there are for players who could develop into U.S. =
national teamers. One of the problems with the NASL is that you had so =
few americans getting playing time. Yes, there is no current national =
teammer not getting playing time because of a green-carded player, but =
that isn't his point. He's worried about players with potential.
(2) He doesn't need to be concerned about the level of MLS play nor =
how much some Dallas dude loves his team. His concern, as *national =
team coach*, is to identify and help develop talented players for the =
U.S. player pool.
(3) If a USian is riding the pine because a green-carded player is in =
the spot, his development will be stunted. It is the equivalent of an =
Eddie Lewis going over seas and riding the pine for Fulham. You develop =
more by getting pla! ying time than you do just practicing with a team =
in a bet ter league. Where would Donovan be if he stayed in Germany? =
Not on the WC team, imo.

Because the NJSEA does not care one bit about the MetroStars, and booked the
Rolling Stones fo an entire month, the Metros have been forced to plans for
an alternate site incase they make the playoffs. The Metros will play in
Newarks Riverfront Stadium, a minor league baseball stadium. I am not 100%

SJ fans got some vindication from the league. Against the Crew recently,
Donovan was taken down from behind on a clear goal scoring opportunity. The
defender only got a yellow. According to the following link:
http://www.mlsnet.com/content/02/mls0919denial.html
...the league basically says that the ref should have given red.
On a related note, Troy Dayak was on a KNBR sports talk show today and he
stated that the Head of Refs talked to Yallop over the phone, stating that
the refs blew the call which allowed Ruiz to score from an offsides position
in injury time of the Galaxy 1-0 win over the Quakes. Further, Troy stated
that the Head of Refs was "mortified" (I think that was the word) and the ref
who blew the call was suspended. He did not state whether it was the center
ref or the linesman who was suspended. I suspect it would be the linesman.
Oh, and when Rick Barry, the interviewer, asked Troy about the upcoming
Galaxy/Quake rematch, Troy said,"I hate those guys....We're gonna have to
tattoo our quake logo all over them." Troy, yer my hero....
Ticket sales for the Quakes final game of the season are approaching 20,000.
Yes, us northern Californians love to hate LA.

I don't profess any knowledge of the A-League nor its players so I can't
answer the question. I don't know that it is neceessary though. The bottom
line is that actual game time in the best league you can possibly play in is
the best way to develop. You can't deny that a league with 10 green-carded
players takes 10 spots away from players with potential to play on the US
team. Take a bubble player like Eddie Lewis. When Eddie arrived in MLS, he

he have made the Clash roster, let alone get any playing time if the Clash
had 3 or 4 green-carded players? Without the opportunity, we may never have
seen the beautiful cross to Donovan for the second goal against Mexico. Now
he is languishing in England while riding the bench. Being surrounded by all
that talent isn't exactly helping his development is it?

I wasn't really comparing, simply pointing out that the NASL did not give
american players the chance to develop. I was only 14 when the league folded
but it didn't seem that the NASL's priority was developing US talent. MLS
has acknowledged that it is important

Agreed. But how many of these superior foreign players are needed to make
that impact? Is three enough? What about 5?
Now, here I will use the NASL. Didn't the NASL require at least 5 US players
on each roster? Why don't we do that? 5 US players, the rest SIs and
green-carders. Certainly those 5 will be saturated with the knowledge from
all of that talent, right? Think of the quality of the US player pool then!
We might win the WC.
I'm being a smart ass but you get my point, right? According to your logic,
we should put a minimum of US players and fill the rosters with other
seasoned foreign talent.
If I had to come up with a crude number, I would say have no more than 5
players per team (whatever combination of green carders & SIs) and have the
rest be US Nat eligible. I think that is adequate in order to have enough
playing time for USians to develop while also absorbing soccer knowledge from
foreign players.

DUDE! Get a grip. This is the whole quote from the article:"The green-card
ruling is not in the best interests of the national team. Look at Dallas. How
many of those guys are Americans? But that's life."
Where the hell does it say he is anti-immigrant? That is what you are
intimating. His commentary was directly soccer related. Stop reading
prejudistic sentiments into it. Christ. You seem like you want to put him
on trial for a hate crime for crying out loud.

Yea, couldn't be the influence of the coach, eh? Or any number of players.
You might as well say Richard Mulrooney is the player he is today because
Khodedad Azizi was on the team. They may be related to DMB's development,
they may not.

Huh? Since he has playing time but has not developed, that proves your
point? You are reaching, really. Where was the miraculous teachings of
Etcheverry & Moreno? I could just as easily, and just as ludicrously, use
Bobby Convey to prove that foreign talent does not help develop US talent.
That argument would be ludicrous because there is no way I can quantify the
impact of Etcheverry or Moreno on Convey. Don't let facts get in the way of
your argument though....

So now Landon was the WC player that he was due to Earnie & the fact that
Earnie isn't 100% American?
I give up.
My point is that there is a balance. You have to nurture talent with good
coaching, good mentoring, (be it foreign or domestic) and playing time.
Bruce questioned the balance in MLS with one simple statement. Then you
intimate racist, or at least anti-foreigner tendencies in Bruce.
Uncalled for and unfounded.

Dude, you are on your soapbox and there is no stopping you now so I'm not

I think it is safe to say that a good bit of his playing style comes from
that same

Well, if you knew Landon like us Qlash fans do, you would know that he thinks
his vision is because his dad was a hockey player and had excellent vision.
But then, I guess you are right because in reality, Landon is a
"middle-class, usually white-folk player" who doesn't appreciate all that his
latin brothers have taught him. His is in "middle-class, usually white-folk
player" denial.
I'm glad I'm married to a Mexican. Otherwise, after your argument, I might
feel guilty for being white.

I don't profess any knowledge of the A-League nor its players so I can't answer the question. I don't know that it is neceessary though. The bottom line is that actual game time in the best league you can possibly play in is the best way to develop. You can't deny that a league with 10 green-carded players takes 10 spots away from players with potential to play on the US team. Take a bubble player like Eddie Lewis. When Eddie arrived in MLS, he was all speed and little talent. Gametime gave him his opportunity. Would he have made the Clash roster, let alone get any playing time if the Clash had 3 or 4 green-carded players? Without the opportunity, we may never have seen the beautiful cross to Donovan for the second goal against Mexico. Now he is languishing in England while riding the bench.

Are you saying that Wales would consistently beat us or that they might get a result
against us? I wasn't saying the rankings were that accurate, just that since FIFA uses
them as part of the seeding process at World Cups, they might actually help us get one
of eight seeds in Germany, and avoid the likes of Germany, Brazil, and Argentina in
group play. From the viewpoint of an American homer, I don't care if the rankings are
rank, as long as they benefit the good ol' USA.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves....
anyone think Wales is some kind of rollover?
I think Wales could give us all we want and would
not really surprise me if they got a result against
us- yet- they did not qualify and are currenty....
73rd....... We are 8th.....Wales 73rd.....
give me a break.

I cannot argue the point that there are more than seven teams in the world
better than the US, however, I'm not sure that there are 18 teams that are.
The only reason I concern myself with world rankings is a possible seed in
Germany... that would be wild, and it is possible (I won't do all that stats
again, though). That's why I value the FIFA rankings over Elo.

THAT is what MLS needs to sell ! I think my ribs hurt just from seeing
Bonseau (sp?) crash into the post.
A cracker of a match - although the playoffs aren't quite the same w/out
DCU.
Importantly for the National Squad (maybe...), did Ben Olsen look damn good,
or was it just me ?
Forza Crew from here on out !!
ps - Those who say Robbie Fowler is the ugliest man in football have never
seen Etch.

At least they are re-sodding the infield.
Also, no cheap tickets. $25 mimum in advance. Season ticketholders are the
beneficiaries, especially the ones who bought he cheap seats ($15 aprox.),
like me.
One thing that will fun, ESC will sound be pretty loud in that place. Just
hope they keep the cursing to a minimum as they're might be lots of kids.
Cheers!
Robert.

Just finished watching the tape of this one this morning. Indeed, may have
been the most intense match of the season I've seen--great game, great
atmosphere. Maybe Ali Curtis really does have a future in MLS? Benny has
looked better each appearance since his return, which makes sense since so
much of his game relies on fitness. Despite the lovely setup of Curtis at
the end, Etch was utter crap, giving balls away, standing around in
midfield, and worst, dreadful free kicks and corners. He's gone for sure
next season. Bet you see him in the J- or even K-League. Dallas deserved
the win, I think, but they certainly aren't the same team I saw in
midseason.

Anyway, if a player is young, and he is good he could still play for the
US. Three years after marrying someone (if he was on a green card) he can
become a US Citizen. Or if not the marrying type, 5 years after being here
by himself, he can become a U.S. citizen. So, if I am 20, I could become a
US nats player by 24-26 - lots of time to develop my game. So the door
ain't shut!
Incidentally, the best way to help players develop in this period is to
expose them to the nuances and styles of other leagues in addition to their
own - like a CL for the Americas. This benefits many players in Europe.
Could we enter one of the current tournaments, like the Copa Libertores?

Score line at the final whistle: 1 - 1=0D
=0D
Game summary:=0D
http://www.richmondkickers.com/news/0919002Rochestergamesum.htm=0D
=0D
My observations:=0D
Good match overall. There was a questionable call in=0D
the box with a 'back pass' to the Rhino's keeper=0D
(Onstad) in the second half. Questionable in the sense=0D
that it wasn't called and probably wasn't due to the=0D
positioning of the ref and the linesman relative to=0D
the ball. To the officials it appeared as a possible=0D
shot on goal. From my angle, with the "Corner Kicks",=0D
it should have been called.=0D
=0D
Fox (Richmond) got red carded early in the second=0D
half. So he will not be available. Demin played a good=0D
portion of the match limping slightly. I think the=0D
only reason that the Rhinos coach did not pull him is=0D
that it may have left a gaping hole in the Rhino's=0D
back line. =0D
=0D
It became clear to me that the main reason that Onstad=0D
had a .75 GAA going into tonight's matchup was due to=0D
the defensive style of play of the Rhinos. Counter=0D
then drop back on D. (Kind of reminded me of MLS Cup=0D
2000, but that's another matter . . .) =0D
=0D
Richmond appeared flatfooted for most of the match.=0D
They need to pick it up if they want to make it past=0D
Rochester to get to Milwaukee. They will be without=0D
Fox, despite being a Defender, he pushed far up the=0D
right wing on the attack. The red card was for a=0D
'last man' offense. Not too rough but the right call,=0D
nonetheless. Henderson scored the goal for Richmond.=0D
They also used all five of their subs. I belive the=0D
Rhinos only used 2.=0D
=0D
=0D
The crowd was nice (3327). A little quiet from time=0D
to time compared to what I'm used to (i.e. wall of=0D
noise). The weather was perfect.=0D
=0D
Other cute observation:=0D
At halftime I noticed a little kid no older than 3=0D
dart past me. He paused and looked toward the pitch=0D
then took off running down the wheelchair ramp. I=0D
glanced over and thought that I spotted his dad who=0D
was engrossed in conversation with friends. Next thing=0D
I know, the kid had slipped through the field gate=0D
near the base of the ramp and was trotting to where=0D
the Kicker bench was warming up. He proceded to warm=0D
up with them. Jogging back and forth and even trying=0D
to run backwards. The Kicker who was nearest the=0D
pressbox side corner was having fun with the kid. Like=0D
it was all normal. Dad finally notices the kid missing=0D
and someone points out to the field. Dad was probably=0D
relieved and amused at the same time. He went down to=0D
the gate and was allowed on the track to get the kid.=0D
The kid didn't come off until it was time to clear the=0D
field for the second half. The kid didn't want to go.=0D
He was having too much fun and wanted to "tell" all=0D
the Kickers who were nearby goodluck with a=0D
"high-five". =0D
Ah, the unintentional halftime shows are the best. :)=0D
=0D
I had a good time. =0D
=0D
If any Corner Kickers are on this list, thank you for=0D
letting me hang out with you. Cheers!=0D

Article posted earlier said stadium will be configured
for soccer and cap expanded to 8500.
A good reason to raise ticket prices a bit. Scarcity
needs to be emphasized by the Metro's marketing and
ticket sales staff. Plus season ticket holders should
be able to have first dibs on tix before public sale
-- given the short time period - maybe only a weekday
like Monday. Then Tuesday full sale.
The MLS needs smaller venues. Granted this is a bit
too small. Even 15K is a wee bit small for Chicago.
20-25K expandable to 30K is ideal and on par with the
vast majority of soccer stadia in the world.
Wizardofold, large rock events such as the Rollings
Stones typically have a long set up time in advance of
the actual performance, then tear down. I worked site
security at Soldier Field for the Stones and U2. This
is no little load in beginning at 8am and be ready for
a 7pm show we are dealing with here. To build the
lighting towers, set up chairs, all the special
effects, etc takes many many days. The Giants
henceforth are on the road during this time also. Just
be grateful the Metrostars and whoever they will meet
in the playoffs (should they get there) will not be
playing on the trashed field. Oh yeah, it will be
resodded I'm sure, but not enough for it to take
proper hold in the ground and will look awful after 1
quarter of marching up and down the field.

In the immigration statues, last I checked, there is a

I had thought MLS had no choice but to treat green card holders the same
as citizens because of discrimination/employment laws. A green card
means you are entitled to work in this country on the same basis as
citizens, and to not hire someone because he is not a citizen is to
discriminate on the basis of national origin.

Subject: [nas] Hey Bruce -- p!ss off!
Deep in this wonderful article about the USA WC effort, you get a few
words from our boy Bruce.
On MLS's decision to allow green-card holders not to count as
international
players: "The green-card ruling is not in the best interests of the
national team. Look at Dallas. How many of those guys are Americans? But
that's life."

You have a problem with exactly who now? Chris GBandi ought to be
considered for the US national team and Oscar Pareja loves the Burn more
than any player in this league loves their team -- and I challenge
anyone to show otherwise.
First off, let's answer your rhetorical question. Matt Jordan, Jason
Kreis, Paul Broome, Ryan Suarez, Bobby Rhine, Eddie Johnson, Chad
Deering -- of the ones getting regular or semi-regular pt. (I will
admit, I am not completely sure about Antonio Martinez.)
Second, what is the point? Where is the US player who isn't getting pt
because of those players? Granted, there could be a problem if you had
three SIs and eights players with green cards, but you don't have that.
Or what about your favorite player, Marco Etcheverry? You know, the one
who is now out of the playoffs -- again? Doesn't he have a green card?
And let's turn that around -- Marco has his kids here. What if they (or
other soccer-talented-parent-raised-kids) turn out to be as good as
their parents and want to play well for the US? Are you going to turn
them down because their parents weren't "born citizens"?
Last I checked, Bruce, this was supposed to still be the land of
opportunity, and what better way to develop and grow the talent base
than bringing in players willing to come to what used to be and to a
certain extent still is a second-rate but growing and developing league?
Do you think this league would be anywhere without El Pibe, El Diablo,
Leonel Alvarez, Mauricio Cienfuegos, Robert Warzycha, Carlos EFFIN
Llamosa!!!!, Jaime Moreno, Peter Nowak, Diego Gutierrez, etc.?
Or where would Landon have been if all he had to play against and with
while growing up in Cali were anglos?
It is a strength, not a weakness, @$$hole!
Someone might want to point this obvious blind spot to him -- good as he
is, it is this kind of idiocy that will keep the US from truly becoming
a world power. It really is that simple.
But hey. Lo que sea.

Ow, I know what a broken collarbone (aka clavicle)
feels like.
I hope that he has a speedy recovery and is back in
fine form for 2003. :)

No, but I know a Barn Burner who is one.
Plus I read them a couple of years ago myself since I
was married to a Mexican.

But this is different, when representing your country. Just like you need
to be naturalized when you work for the department of state (albeit
representing at a different level).
This is the land of opportunity - but you gotta be American (legally at
least) to represent America!

I think you're talking about a couple of different things.
In MLS Green Card holders do not count against the foreign player limit
(of 3). This is due to the labor laws of the US. If you have a green
card, then you are -- employment wise-- the same as a citizen. You can
work and live here.
Representing the US in national soccer matches has nothing, directly,
to do with the imigration or labor laws of the USA. The rules governing
who can play for what country are determined by FIFA.

An interesting bit from the article to stir things up:
Walton played both sports at the Bishop's School in San Diego --
football in the fall, soccer in the spring. He was all-state in football
as a senior, but received only one scholarship offer, from Fresno State.
So he enrolled at Notre Dame to play soccer, with the promise that he
could try out for football eventually.
He had 10 goals and 7 assists as a freshman, but said, with no trace of
brashness, that "college soccer was a step down" from club soccer.

Thanks for the link, Chris. Maybe no NFL teams will want to draft Shane
because of his size and soccer will have chance to get him back. But I
imagine he would rather try his luck as a walk-on at NFL camp than get
by on a P-40 salary.

[casbahman's response deleted because I want to
address something specific in the above section of
Kevin's original post.]
If Marco or any other player, green carded or not, has
children born in the US the United States considers
them United States citizens. There used to be a
period of waiting while that status was temporary
until the child was old enough (16 or 18) to make a
choice of citizenship I think but I do not know if
that is still in effect. Any child born in the US can
be considered elligible to play for the US NT programs
right up until he/she has chosen to play for another
countrie's national team.

My guesses would be:
1. Unbalanced schedule makes goal differential less useful (Of course it
also has the same effect on points).
2. Goal differential might be easier to manipulate (teams may find it
advantageous to intentionally allow goals to affect the playoff seeding
and face an opponent of their choice).
3. That's how the other leagues here do it.
