Michael Essien. IMO the best Defensive Midfielder in the world. He is a destroyer who covers an amazing amount of ground and dishes out crunching tackles. The dude is legit. So good in my opinion that Chelsea wins the EPL by a lot larger margin and beats Inter in the Champions League if he is 100%.
Being a Chelsea fan I hate that he was hurt the 2nd half of our season, but not so upset he isn't playing against the USA in the world cup. :icon_wink:
D80, I don't know if you saw the bracket but if we beat Ghana(ria) I think we play the winner of S. Korea and Uruguay. Not easy but at least we would avoid Brazil, Spain, Arentina, ect..
We have a very good chance to make the Semifinals. (knock on wood)
Didn't we defeat Uruguay in the earlier qualifying pool...I think we did...
Anyway. Check out this video US soccer fans. It is quite amazing.

If you think that video showed some celebration you should have been at my house when we scored the TD vs LSU!
Let's go USA!
