I have a tough decision tomorrow.
I really want the USA to do well in this tournament. But, I also want to see the Czech Republic do well also. I have family and friends in the CR.
I think the USA will only get better. For the Czech's, this could be their last hurrah for some time, because they have a lot of retiring stars.
It's too bad for me that they are in the same group

Pliny - It's ok to root for the czech team if you don't have a vested interest in the U.S. team. Like the Philadelphia Soul. If they played like the Memphis Showboats or whatever and i had friends or family who were big AFL fans and wanted memphis to win, I'd be ok with pulling for Memphis since I don't give a crap about Arena football.

By the way, check out the top story here: http://blog.sportscolumn.com/story/2006 ... 5357/1193/
I think it's a pretty cool what-if exercise. I really think the Freak would be a great goalie. they didn't mention him in the fox sports article but they did say Dawkins as a defender.
I would want to have some great athletes on there that have great speed. AI would be great for soccer. He has good height for soccer and he is fast and cuts like crazy. Plus he is tough as nails, which is needed. IA was a better QB in HS than God Almight himself.....Ron Mexico. Speaking of Ron, he would be another one I'd love to see play. He'd be good as a forward, who would take off on a good deep pass. He'd also be good with headers.
I did like Polamalu, Smith and Chad, since they are fast and very athletic. Pollamalu would be a great defender, who would probably foul out from being too agressive. Duanne Wade is another foot work/speed/athlete. He and IA would kill you as Midfielders or forwards.
I have some college freinds who played rugby with me when their college soccer days were done. A couple of them were just great athletes who became instant stars because of their endurance, footwork, speed and ability to play as a team (not to mention their kicking part of the game). It also helped that the best one (John Dugan- he starred in semi pro ball) was a strong 6'3, 230 and deceivingly fast. These guys showed me just how athletic they are past the college level.Pedro
