I don't get England's team, I mean I don't think they're on a level with teams like Brazil, but they've got good players, not sure why they don't play well together. Is Paul Robinson still the keeper? Fuck's sake he sucks, that's the one thing the U.S. team has had is pretty good goalkeepers.

Anyway, it'd be a bit of a landmark for U.S. soccer if Altidore went to Real Madrid but how long would it be before he actually got into the playing rotation? I guess it wouldn't hurt for him to train over there even if he wasn't playing.

I've heard that Adu's doing pretty well for Benfica? Dempsey's pretty good, just wish he had some speed.
