Seeing as an NFL thread was started, I'd like to start a football thread (soccer) for all those football enthusiasts out there.

I guess I'll start the discussion off by talking about American players in the Premiership.

I think the best American player in the Premier League would have to be Timmy Howard (affectionately called T-Ho). T-Ho is, IMHO, the best keeper in the League, and one of the best in the world, going neck in neck with Brad Friedel (American) and Kahn (German, duh).

Also, a hot rumor topic, is Clint Mathis, the star American player who just left the Metrostars, and now isn't signed to a team OR league! I've heard some rumors, and these ARE just rumors, but I've heard that the Premier League, Man U in particular, is interested. That would be amazing! I's good to see that American soccer is getting a good nod...we've always been recognized for our keepers, but now with Mathis available, and McBride's recent loan at Everton, I think the strikers are becoming known too!

Let's get this going!
