MLS players I’d like to see with the national team: Dan Kennedy, Eddie Gaven and Chris Pontius
Nice post Ian. I’m sure Eddie Gaven will contribute much to the National Team after one good game this season (sarcasm).
Biggest surprise of the weekend for me: Mike Grella. Turns out he might not want to play in the NASL after all. Way to go Mike!!
I’ve always thought that Gaven is very skilled, but I’ve also always believed that he is extremely lackadaisical. This last game just reminded me of what he’s capable of.
Wow..terrible grammar..I’m going to blame lack of sleep.
