Too hot in the summer, too cold in the winter.

I remember just before the Barcelona olympics the US swim team came to SLC to train because of similar conditions. I guess the swimming venue was up in the mountains somewhere.

Now ask youself, how many American coaches are in Europe right now? How many from Africa? South America?

It took quite awhile for American players to get accepted. God knows where someone like Tab Ramos could've ended up and how much more his game could've developed had the euro scouts been looking for talent in the USA 20 years ago. Yes, a lot has changed recently. But it's going to be that much harder for American coaches to catch on overseas. I wouldn't at all be suprised to see the USA put in a good showing at WC06 and Bruce in the end still not be able to find a club interested in him.
Once dismissive, the European media is now hip to U.S. men.
