Trending Topics: Brian #McBrideFactsSeptember 09, 2010 (17:51) [ Indexed from A Football Report ]
Brian McBride, consistently praised for the effort he exuded on the pitch with the Columbus Crew, Everton FC, Fulham FC, the Chicago Fire, and of course the US Mens National Team, announced he would retire from football at the end of the current MLS season. To put this into perspective for a non-US Soccer fan, Neil W. Blackmon (AFR Guest Contributor and Co-Founder of @yanksarecoming) wrote:
His specter haunts US strikers today, and his performances continue to be the high-water mark among American goal scorers. He did this without world-class talent, without blazing speed, without overwhelming physical strength. It was work-ethic and want-to. Perhaps thats why even before South Africa one of the patented world views, fair or unfair, of the American football player was that, regardless of talent, they played the game with grit, with courage, and with a never-back-down attitude.
Indeed, no singular figure defined this image of what being an American player was all about than Brian McBride"he of the bloodied face, jersey always dirty, and pure leave-it-all-on-the-field guts. Well miss you Brian. Weve already missed you. Thank you for always answering the bell. Best in your retirement.
