...of my thirteen fans chimed in with comments, concerns, and questions and being a man of my word I intend to answer each in the order they were submitted. First Question: What is the funniest thing that you remember from a National Team Camp? First Answer: We, being the U.S. Men's National Team, were in Dortmund, Germany for a friendly against the German National Team a few months prior to the World Cup and on the day of the game every German television station had a clip of our head coach, Bruce Arena, falling on his backside as he tried to trap a ball. They played it over and over and over and even though I don't speak German it was clear they were making fun of him. A few players and I were in a room playing cards to kill time and I don't think we ever laughed so hard. What's even better was at the pre-game meal when Bruce walked in, everyone gave him a standing ovation, and he acted like he didn't know what we were cheering about but we all knew he knew. Ah, good times. Second Question: On the topic of Winnie Cooper, since you say she was less than desirable, what child star would you go for now? Second Answer: Well, I had a crush on Blair from The Facts of Life but I doubt that's she all that and a bag of potato chips these days. Third Question: Remember when Kevin Arnold got to first base with Winnie down by the old oak tree on Season One? Third Answer: The only thing I remember about The Wonder Years was my cousin being an extra on the show. You can see him for only a few seconds and he thought he was God's gift to acting. What an idiot. Fourth Question: What team in Europe would you want to join the most: Fulhamerica, Manchester United, Blackburn, or Ryan Raybould's fourth division Swedish team? Fourth Answer: The obvious choice is Manchester United for the obvious reasons but I think Blackburn would be the most enjoyable because they're a team that is always on the cusp to push into the top 6 of the Premiership and into qualification for UEFA Cup or Champions League and to be able to help them get to that level would be a fun challenge. Plus, Ryan Nelsen is a good friend and I would enjoy playing next to him. Last Sentence: I did it, I wrote two days in a row, it's a miracle.
