Nine More Days

Nine more days til the first game of World Cup!!!

While I'm not happy about injuries that pulled Frankie Hejduk off the National Team, I'll confess to being thrilled that Chris Albright made it on. And I get to see Carlos Bocanegra play again. I haven't seen him much since he went to the Premiership (not that I begrudge him that awesome recognition of his talent.)

Our line up:

Goalkeepers: Marcus Hahnemann, Tim Howard, Kasey Keller (I love watching him work, but if I ever get within two feet of him, I'm gonna smack that frickin' wad of gum out of his mouth. Drives me nuts)

Defenders: Chris Albright, Gregg Berhalter, Carlos Bocanegra, Steve Cherundolo, Jimmy Conrad, Eddie Lewis, Oguchi Onyewu (one to watch), Eddie Pope

Midfielders: DaMarcus Beasley (simply incredible), Bobby Convey, Clint Dempsey, Landon Donovan, Pablo Mastroeni, John O’Brien, Ben Olsen, Claudio Reyna

Forwards: Brian Ching, Eddie Johnson (great player), Brian McBride, Josh Wolff (he makes it look easier than it is)


Even if you don't like soccer (you poor clueless thing) enjoy these:
