Mapp certainly has plenty of experience; however, I still believe that Rogers is a better player now than Mapp is. <BR/><BR/>Guess we will just have to see how the season goes and let the numbers speak for themselves. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for replying to my post.

If you're not starting, you're on the 2nd team. I forgot about Hahnemann, thanks for the clarification; I thought you may have had Keller as the #2. <BR/><BR/>Fair enough, you can't argue with pure numbers/stats.Ridin' Dirtynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22510884.post-89564889841374419832008-02-26T12:49:00.000-07:002008-02-26T12:49:00.000-07:00bje: Robbie Rogers has only played in 10 MLS matches so he fell into my "need to see more" bucket. I don't think you can compare the impact Rogers and Mapp have had in MLS.<BR/><BR/>ridin' dirty: Who are the 1st and 2nd team keepers for the USNT? Not sure what you're asking. The 1st and 2nd choice keepers are not in MLS (Howard & Hahnemann). Guzan is working his way into that mix and he was the top ranked keeper on the list.<BR/><BR/>While CAPS for the national team may be a good criteria point for this kind of list, this post was more about the impact players are having on MLS, not the US National Team.Bonjihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03994311016750091672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22510884.post-10758791609027688662008-02-24T14:41:00.000-07:002008-02-24T14:41:00.000-07:00Oh, and good post, makes for a good conversation.

I would sure rather have Rogers on my team than Justin Mapp. <BR/><BR/>Robbie Rogers is going to be a Best IX type player in MLS this year. (At least that's my prediction.) <BR/><BR/>Well, I guess that's it for now. Keep up your good work.bjehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07454351757188967974noreply@blogger.com
