to the smarter soccer people, and i hope i'm not completely high jacking this thread, will Onyewu (and other large defenders the USA will produce) ever get the benefit of a call by the referees vs the much smaller strikers????
It bugs me to no end when the much smaller players get "nudged" by Onyewu and go flying. If America wanted to, they could produce 4 defenders the size of Onyewu with no problem, but it would be foul city on the pitch.
I know you're partially referring to the last World Cup. One of the worst calls I've seen in all my years of playing/watching the beautiful game. I'm still pissed off about that one.
I'm rooting for Onweyu.
