(Ching) is right in the mix right now. |
A dominant team in sports is exciting, and it gives everybody something to shoot for. This year maybe there's a chance somebody could do that [in MLS]. |
After 45 minutes of good concentration and smart football we started the second half very poorly. Giving the game away in the opening kickoff of the second half was very foolish and very poor play on our part. |
All in all, to get 16 players in, and getting a win, that's a positive. |
Although we will be playing with a less than full roster, this game will provide an outstanding opportunity for some of our players to show they deserve strong consideration for the World Cup roster. |
And he just turned 23. I think we've got ourselves a real good one there. |
Any group we're going to be in is going to be a tough group. |

As usual, we will not make any bold statements or predictions. However, I can assure everyone that the team that steps on the field on June 12 against the Czech Republic will be a team all Americans will be proud of. |
As we experienced in the preparation for the 2002 World Cup, the chance to play in the host country before the tournament will be an invaluable experience for our team. |
Besides Brian McBride (who plays for Fulham in the English Premier League), nobody actually stands out and says 'I belong here' yet. |
Both are good prospects. At this point in time Todd may be a little bit more ahead of Heath. |
Brian didn't necessarily win us over in the last six weeks. It's a culmination of knowing what he brings to us on the field. |
Canada is traditionally a very solid team, and this game will be a good test for our domestic players as we begin the critical process of building a roster for the 2006 World Cup. We are looking forward to playing in San Diego, a city with a rich soccer history. It should be an excellent event. |
Clint continues to build a solid argument to make the World Cup team. He's certainly making it difficult for me to make some tough decisions. |
