Most likable USMNT player ever? I think so, loved watching his play for Crew way back when.
definitely most likable.
The UEFA website also has updated the list of CL participants with their updated coefficients. I have no idea how to make a live link, so you'll have to live with a cut-and-paste.

These coefficients are used when seeding the teams for the group stage draw. I was surprised that Real Madrid and Inter will be 2nd "Pot" teams, and Wolfsburg will probably be a 4th pot team. All 4 England teams (if Arsenal make it through the Play-off round) will be in Pot 1.
@Eladio: I understand that Platini wants to punish the EPL, but having FC Rubin Kazan and AFC Unirea Urziceni automatically qualify for the group stage but not Arsenal is insane.
Eladio: Thanks for the link. You know who else got punished? Atlético Madrid -- they're not even in España anymore. According to UEFA, they're stuck in Spain.
