  1. Ives,

    I just wanted to say great job on this site. I’ve been following it for about a year now and it just keeps getting better! I really like this new Recommended Reading section. Great stuff!

  2. I thought Nyarko said that he would play for Ghana only if he knew certain the USMNT would never call him up.

    Nyarko is gonna be a star. He just needs to realize that he can be the Number 1 option and doesn’t have to pander to McGod and Blanco when it comes to touches.
