    As much as I hated the guy when he played for Club America, I'll miss him in the NT. He's got the kind of swagger needed to overcome a score deficit.

    But older than Blanco and way past his prime.

    I'll miss the midget. He could play at a great level. He saved us back in 2001 when he came back from a shattered ACL and led the team to the World Cup. He is a freaking warrior!!
