what really caught my eye was that the leading scorer only had 5 goals ( wynalda )
and then Mcbride is one of the four with four i think when he comes back he will beat the record in this camaign also the way jones has been i see him beating that also what do u think ???

I got the information from the Turn US On campaign email I get. You can sign up for it at the US site. They email you the televised game information for the men and womens team. This was at the bottom of their last email.

I think both McBride and Cobi are going to do exceptionally well. Cobi has really honed his game the last year and a half, particulary this current season. I think he will put the ball in the net regularly.
