  • Yeah, we need more like Beasley to be our ambassadors to the world instead of whiner Landon Donovan.

    Btw, in a year or two (perhaps after WC '06) look for a guy named "Eddie Johnson" to be the next US player who has some success in Europe.

    • I've seen him. Once those black guys start coming through, look out.

      • Well, it's not like Beasley is a key player, he usually starts on the bench. But yeah, it doesn't help, especially since fellow strikers Farfan and Robert may also be out of the running...

        • Yeah, well the Dutch always choke anyway, so I guess if Beasley is lucky he'll be in the PL next season.

          • Isn't Holland just a stopping point anyway?

            It'd be nice to see him play against Reyna and Friedal in a few matches in England.

              Yep, but if he likes his dope and hoors he'd be better off in windmill-land.

                Maybe if he played for Ajax. Remember, this is Eindhoven we are talking about.

                  In the last 10 years Dutch teams won the CL once and were runners-up once (lost on penalties). Only Spain, Italy and Germany did better (and Germany only ever so slightly with one more runner-up). A Dutch team also won the UEFA Cup once in that time. Only 4 countries (aforementioned ones plus England) won more, but two of those only had one more runner-up.

                  Dutch teams aren't the strongest in the world but in number of prizes won they're 4th or 5th in Europe (depending on the time period)...
