While some of the blame might be placed on Porter I think alot was the flawed play on the field. Perhaps this will be a wakeup call that US soccer still has a looong way to go before it is on a par with the rest of the world. We still seem to be enamored with players of size but little technical ability. This was quite evident in the El Salvador game. Look at the National teams at the younger ages. Basketball player sized defenders with little or no ability to attack. Look at akrons success over the past few years and look at the size of the players...I think there is a direct correlation. Give me a small,quick/fast,technical player anyday over someone whose sole ability lies in their physical presence. I agree with a previous poster who said something about watch out NCAA. I think Porter now will return to the Zips to prove that his style of play is where the US needs to be and I for one can't wait for the season to start.
