Monday Morning S--t Storm

Well, U.S.A had a chance to win it's first FIFA trophy yesterday. They lost. If you happened to miss the game, I would suggest looking at our open thread. Our own Allen Houston and Icehouse hold it down for the majority of the thread. You'll see Houston's excellent analysis, Icehouse's love of "Landycakes" and my loss of innocence when I find out Billy Mays had died. I only saw half of the game, and while we have made great strides in the sport, it shows you that we simply cant keep up with elite teams when they go in video game mode.

It doesn't really piss me off. Our best athletes grow up playing football, basketball, and baseball. I've had this conversation with Icehouse several times, it's always fun to imagine other athletes growing up kicking a ball around and the subsequent greatness that would ensue.

So for the shit storm, pick an American athlete that you would like to see on the National team. We will need Names, position, and what they actually bring to the team. Also for this storm we are going to go ahead and assume that these athletes have been playing soccer from a young age etc.

My first selection is Mike Vick.


I kinda see him as an attacking midfielder. He would obviously bring speed, footwork, insane moves, and average passing.

Ok go all out on this one.
