"If the only games he plays this year are with the U.S. national team program, then we've got problems," Arena says. "He needs to find a better situation after the first of the year. It doesn't do any U.S. player any good sitting on a bench in Europe." I know US soccer isn't as high quality as many other countries, but I enjoy following our home-grown talent and some of the guys have real skills and real potential. I think both articles talk of the same team so I hope Forrsell doesn't take donovan's spot on the bench, but he probably won't since it sounds like they want him. |
