Davies slams Sochaux Officials over World Cup

Good point that.

Have you driven on the GW parkway (where the crash was) and is it as dangerous as everyone says it is?

Yes it doesn't seem that bad but it was daylight and alot of traffic so it was slow going.

I would love Charlie to play but think of it the other way. What if this happened to an Everton player? We all freaked out when Cahill played against Qatar a couple years back and Cahill for the most part was healthy.
 
I agree, mate.

I like 500 miles. :P

Was in Flordia a few weeks ago on a bus on my way back from Busch gardens in Tampa, when "500 miles" came on the radio.

Cue karaoke at the back of the bus as loud as we could. Classic song.

Loved it in the States but was very shocked at how few Americans I encountered even knew who Landon Donovan, or Clint Dempsey was.

They hadn't even heard of the World Cup, and I didn't see one USA Soccer Jersey.

Shocker.

That's America for you. I probably only see a couple people wearing USA jerseys around a year. But at school it's completely different. I see a whole bunch of jerseys (not really USA but all the top clubs in the world).
 

1) Davies really would have helped us.

2) I don't think he's have been anywhere near ready for the rigors of World Cup football so soon after the accident.

3) I wouldn't have mattered had the USMNT medical staff cleared him. Sochaux's didn't and that's all that was needed to keep him from going.

As much as I feel for him, perhaps this will be a wake up call for him in terms of decision making in the future.

I think the wake up call happened when he regained his bearings in the Hospital, but your right..
 

Who does Freddy Adu play for now? I know he was at DC United a few years back and had bags of potential? How has he turned out?

He's [Poor language removed] now. After DC United he went to Real Salt lake, then Benfica. He's been loaned from Benfica to Monaco, Belenenses, and his current club, Aris (Greece). At all of his clubs besides DC United he's played a combined 31 games since 2006, and scored only 5 goals.

He's only 20 though and if he matures and works hard he could be a very good player.

Looks like he can't settle down then, or Benfica are trying to get him some experience?

He was supposed to be the next best thing

I don't know what Benfica are doing tbh. I think he needs to go back to the mls to restart his career.

He was being called the next Pele. The expectations were too high for him and it probably played with his mind a bit. He probably thought that things were gonna come easy for him but it hasn't.
