By: nicholas | October 19th, 2007

Ok back to football ( soccer for you north americans ).

Here is a preview of the game from the professionals ….. MLSnet , The star ( not really a preview but a intresting article on season tickets for next year )

As you guys already know, our very own super rookie Maurice Edu played the full 90 mins for the USA on Wednesday ( USA 1 Switzerland 0 ) . This game marked the first win for the USA on European Soil in almost 6 years. Hey if you want to see our boy play .. i am sure you can find the game on any respectable torrent site or if you just want to see the highligts. Here is the link

du Nord 3 stars of the game:
3 Carlos Bocanegra - Captained the team again, and held the back 4 intact to get a clean sheet in Europe
2 Michael Bradley - Scored the all important winning goal, he just can’t seem to stop putting them in the net these days
1 Maurice Edu - A surprise starer in the center of midfield after an impressive first professional season in Toronto, and took his game up yet another level to compete for every single ball anywhere near him for 90 minutes. And he got better as the game went on. So while he was not brilliant out there, it was still a great start to his international career.
