So I had my first practice with the US National Team to prepare for this year's World Cup in South Africa.
When I got there, Coach asked what number I wanted to wear. I remembered back in the 2006 World Cup in Germany I wore the number of a certain famous Chicago basketball player - #23.
This time around I pulled a LeBron James. As LeBron said so eloquently, "#23 should be retired forever." So out of respect, I'm following King James' lead and I went with #6.
Our first practice went pretty well. DeMarcus Beasley and I got to catch up...
I did some drills...
Even had a few laughs when Clint Dempsey accidentally hit Coach Bradley in the back of the head with a volley...
And then it was on to the photo shoot for my official 2010 Fleer Soccer Card.
