Well, he got to play this year. And as soccer-expert Keith Bundy explains, he was plain embarassing:
He played and, unfortunately, did horribly. He was our centerback, and, while I don't think he played as badly as others do, he was at least partially at fault for five of the six goals the US gave up in the first three games. He suffered an injury midway through the first half of the third game and sat out the rest of the Cup. He is known as a wise player... good at reading the game... but a tad slow on his feet and overly reliant on his left foot. In the Cup his poor qualities showed while his better qualities didn't. The players and coach defend him, but the media and fans have eaten him up.
