Hey, that's great news, really !

Just hope that the next WorldSeries Soccer in the US will have more than 50 teams (51 incl. Washington D.C)

Things should really pick up for the US national team as well. I hear Jurgen Klinsmann the ex boss of Germany is taking over. A good appointment for the Americans

Wow, are you sure, I must have missed that one. Good for him. He can stay in California, no bullshit about that anymore. And I think he could bring a great insight to US soccer !

There were all sorts of arguements before the W Cup as the Germans didn't think Klinsmann was spending enough time watching his players in Europe. He did OK though and proved himself a good enough coach.

That's quite amazing, that would indeed explain his quick decision to leave the german team and stay in the US. I just can't believe I didn't pick up on that reading the germans news every other day....good to be on a Thai related forum on the net
