BilliesBy40 Posted August 3 6 minutes ago, NH said: Super unimportant response, but I don't think Hyndman ever played for Fulham. He was on Bournemouth and some Scottish teams before moving to MLS. Hyndman spent 5 years at Fulham, including 2 years playing for the senior team. He made 25 appearances across those 2 years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Whoops, thanks for the correction. I must have gotten turned around. Sorry to @Speyburn for unnecessarily and incorrectly responding to that post.

Right off the top of my head I can think of McBride, Dempsey, Bocanegra, Ream, and I think Keller played there for a year or 2. So really not just US players but some of the really best US players. There is also Marcus Hahnemann, Eddie Lewis, Eddie Johnson, Emerson Hyndman and Luca de la Torre. 1 slufanskip reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reinert310 Posted August 11 Carter Chapley tweeted this this morning. I don’t anything about men’s soccer recruiting, but Carter makes this kid sound very promising. Anybody got any thoughts? 2 slufanskip and cgeldmacher reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cgeldmacher Posted August 11 Kalish seems to be killing it on the recruiting side. Hopefully, he can get his teams to put it together up the the level of their potential. 4 Reinert310, slufanskip, Zink and 1 other reacted to this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We used to to consistently get top 10, 20 ish level players. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I played my high school soccer in the Spring (Virginia) and my college, obviously, in the Fall. I much prefer the Spring. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

courtside Posted August 12 Mensah is the most common surname in Ghana. For example John Mensah (Premier League, League 1) is not related to Jonathan Mensah (Columbus Crew)...so it can be challenging to keep up with. Montverde is perhaps more well known for its strong National Basketball Program and National recruits, but this past decade, Mike Potempa (Clemson) has done something similar in soccer.

SLUBALLS Posted September 4 Great documentary on Netflix (maybe Prime): Take the Ball, Pass the Ball. About Pep's Barcelona.

Thanks for the recommendation. Messi remains the world’s best player by a pretty wide margin if you believe in advanced stats. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
