Thanks for the comment. The "average" McBride has scored 6 goals in 14 games ih the MLS. Landon Donovan shares that same stat.

Here is a nice goal scored by McBride. With his left foot. On the ground.

McBride is no good Internationally.

He can't play on the ground.

An average MLS player at best.

The New Year deserves a new All-World-Old-Man-Soccer-Team! Who should make the team this year?

My early favorite is 35 year old winger Robert Pirès of Villareal. 7 assists in 14 games so far.

I love how some guys use that "getting old" excuse, you know the 32 year old guy who sneaks into the over 35 league because he feels he is old now.

Meanwhile those of us approaching 50 or beyond wonder what the heck you're complaining about.

If soccer is a life passion, play it for life (no needs to complain about the little things, right)

As far as the team... ah, all

Ali Daei was definately a good "old timer". 109 goals in 149 appearances for Iran is hard to argue with. Daei is also known for being very classy guy on and of the field.

Yo, Ali Daei.

Yo, Ali Daei.

Anyone heard of this Iranian Phenom?//

He holds the record for most international goals ever.

So many critical goals and he wasn't a bad assist man either. Tall, athletic and strong as a bull. From a small town in Azerbaijan province of Iran, He played for the biggest clubs in Iran before going to Europe to play for Bayern.
He is now the

Ever hear of Romario, the scorer of one thousand goals (give or take). Following a match against Keller, Romario had this to say about him.

"That was the greatest performance I have seen from a goalkeeper. It was an honour to be on the field with him."

Despite Romario's questionable math skills I feel pretty good about sharing my admiration of Keller with him.

Who's Kasey Kellar?... I've never heard of him. I ...

I like it when 'really smart' people call other people idiots, and then can't get their own facts straight. I like it even better when they post anonymously, so that there is no accountability. That's fun and funny. In a perfect world, and for a perfect funny trifecta, the above 'really smart' person is from England, and thinks he knows a bunch about the game because he is talking to an

2008-06-04T09:58:00.000-07:00

I think the easiest way to determine how good McBride was for Fullham is to look at their performance without him. They were a decent side last season, but couldn't get out of the relegation zone this season without him. He was their heart and soul and has gotten better with age.

David James, if you want a good older keeper.

38 this year, in Portsmouths first team week in, week out, and is probably the number 1 choice for England at the moment despite younger goalies being around. Ok, so its only England, but its International football nonetheless and Capello isnt exactly short of keepers to choose from. I think he also holds the records for most number of

2008-06-03T11:06:00.000-07:00

Jan Koller would make a great bad guy for a James Bond movie. For clutch goals I'll stick with McBride who is leaving Fulham of his own acccord.

2008-06-03T09:13:00.000-07:00

Just so you know, Brian McBride is rubbish and he left Fulham this summer. Although he scored a header that kept Fulham up in the last game of the season, he definitely isn't "one of the most dangerous aerial threats in the world". You can tell by the fact he got sold. By Fulham. Try someone like Thierry Henry up front or Jan Koller. Both are a lot better than "Captain America". Hope this helps

Thanks for the comments. A reader across the Atlantic, yes! McBride is a stud and was Fulham's captain while he was there. Teammates and fans loved him there.

"As my captain last season Brian was truly respected in the dressing room and led by example on the pitch. The club would have liked Brian to stay for at least another year but respect the decision he has made."

I wish

Great team on paper. I've always admired Brian McBride since he came over here to England years ago, and it's a shame to see him going back to America.

As for the goalkeeper, I'd have to pick Edwin van der Sar over Kasey Keller.

Oh, and to the anon guy above me; Tim Howard's only 29.

McBride no longer captains fulham.

2008-05-31T17:06:00.000-07:00

McBride no longer captains fulham.

And Kasey Keller a great goalkeeper? No way, he doesn't even make the Fulham first team.

He wouldn't even make the England team at present, and that's low.

Kasey Keller is no good. I can't see the reasoning...

2008-05-31T14:22:00.000-07:00

Kasey Keller is no good. I can't see the reasoning behind his selection for the US national team. What about Tim Howard? He is a much better keeper.

2008-04-29T10:26:00.000-07:00

I think this team would be very tough on a one-game basis. Great goalkeeper. Great defenders.

I would choose Pavel Nedved from the Czech Republic over Blanco. I would choose an injured Nedved over Blanco. Nedved in front of Makalele would be brilliant.

I don't think that McBride would link well with Inzaghi, but what do I know? Maybe Inzaghi would be zipping around toeing
