I have a feeling that the Irish-American population of the US might not like Rangers being "Team USA", or those at least that follow football. Besides, DMB is likely gone this summer.
That dirtiest players list is a complete crock. Cahill is the only who truly belongs on there. And maybe Davies, For shits and giggles, my own six dirtiest EPL players of 08/09
6.) Kevin Davies
5.) Jose Bosingwa
4.) Michael Ballack
3.) Tim Cahill
2.) Joey Barton
1.) Nemanja Vidic
Phil: I think the only reason barton isn't on the initial list is because he's been suspended so much that he hasn't made enough appearances. but every time he finds himself on the pitch he is a disgrace.
God Vidic gets away with so much shit. If he's not in a United jersey he tops that list.
If MLS went underground, went punk, that'd be phenomenal. This whole "family-friendly" venue has taken the verve out of the NBA, NFL, and MLB. From what I've seen, the NHL is somewhat getting it back. Soccer isn't a sport where you can sit on your ass for 85 minutes and expect to enjoy the match. FC St. Pauli is tapping into something Garber should closely examine.
