Last weekend in the EPL (English Premier League), Reading faced Fulham, with four American soccer players on the top league, perhaps in the world of football.
Goalkeeper Marcus Hahneman faced Kasey Keller, two Americans, two from the state of Washington. With a goal and an assist from American national Brian McBride, Fulham prevailed with two US field players and a goalkeeper.
With three more on the pitch that weekend - James, Howard, and Friedel, joined Hahneman and Keller - That weekend no less than five USA goalkeepers played in the EPL. Is this progress?
Should we invade England, to enforce a more globally representative selection of U.S. players?
