Yup, but until that day - the best thing for US soccer here - in the NEAR future is to have our best talent in the best possible leagues. A great showing in 2010 World Cup is needed.
Count me as a big Kenny Cooper prognosticator as it were. I say don't forget about Kenny, and then he scores for FCD that night. It seems he has scored everytime I bring his name up before/during a game...
The crazeist moment was when, a few games into the season, I'm in a sports bar - here in Austin TX - and I take a few moments to step away from the table (where we were watching some other game). So I'm stanging there, and my buddy walks up - I say to him, "Dude, that guy's Kenny Cooper. He went to our high school [Jesuit College Prep., in Dallas]." "Is he any good." I laughed, somehow I knew, "Just watch, he's going to show you where the goal is" I say. Fifteen (fifteen!) seconds later he scores. I just smiled and chanted -
Super! Super hoops!
Super! Super hoops!
Super! Super hoops!
Super FC Dallas!
- as I walked back to my table.
