NO OMAR GONZALEZ????? He is a top 5 pick in the draft, let alone out of the pool of defenders. And what about Rodney Wallace? He’s a defensive minded mirror image of Beasley.

Buzz, i think those readers that know college soccer and the suttle nuances of the game that creates a dependence on your team mates for individual performance and stats know why i bothered to post here. its about the players NOT YOU!

actually Joe, it is NOT impossible to do so. Not only does Buzz do it, and do it well, but analysts in every sport do it, Football, Basketball, Baseball. And Coaches and scouts do it.
I really don’t know why you even are bothering posting here.

i’m ok if no one cares about my opinion..i also do not know tyler barry… my comment has nothing to do with this particular player…i am sure he is a fine player …however i just want to remind the readers that it is impossible to rank soccer players from different conferences, teams, team mates, coaching style , strategy, tactics and different opponents …ie; a keeper with a .79 gaa is not necessarily better than a keep with a 1.2 gaa…look at the defenders, style of play, opponents etc etc etc…thats all…..

I second the post above me.
Maybe Tyler Berry should stop coming on this site and work on his football skills instead.
