[@Pozos1995]

Carlos Bocanegra is a great player, I like how he is with people.

[@joseholmesvidalosorio9868]

Nothing wrong to say about this guy: a retired professional footballer as well as a charismatic senior soccer player (not any longer/any more) from demi-glorious past times otherwise. (Ah, a great group of players were gladly under his professionally sporting commands, right, it, being expressed, *, of course, in a professionally objective way). Ty for uploading the video. -Peace out.

[@Ilovemusic123354]

He seems like a lovely person! Not to mention amazing at defending, I'm extremely inspired!

[@JamieRangers1807]

I'm truly proud that this guy plays for Rangers, and hopefully can do for the next couple of years. Gentleman on and off the pitch.

[@nitestorm]

God Bless Carlos’ Leadership!!!!!!!! Because I Wasn’t Calm During the Gold Cup 2011 Panama second match

[@xelisa13x]

i just love Bocanegra, and i really got upseat that he is going home earlier...I mean, I`m Brazilian and theres no way to watch the french games...soh qhen I have the opportunity to finally watch him...OMG, i was about to cry!!!

[@sebastiangrisales6487]

the best defense of the team....

[@mallorymalefoy4]

I 'm in love with him ^^

[@USAmbassadorToFIFA]

Hope to see him along the sidelines next World Cup...at least offering some advice for our upcoming defenders. And that track jacket Donovan is wearing is siiick.

[@0809dulce]

beautiful man

[@KiloHoplite]

@TheAstroboy13 Well all of our best players play or have played in the premiership, and we won our group with England in it. We're not the best, but we're on our way up!

[@allzo]

Los is a legend.

[@RdSoxFan618]

@USAmbassadorToFIFA Amen. There's a very bright future - many young guys who will be fighting for the open spots who are very good. Defense should be better, midfield will be very much the same (one new IMO), and then you'll have Altidore a little older and more experienced and ready to be a playmaker along with Charlie Davies back. June 2012 - beginning of qualifying. Should be a really fun 2 year ride.

[@sebastiangrisales6487]

great men

[@mallorymalefoy4]

@MrArch21he plays in France, i am so happy =)

[@Matthewmufc1991]

Dundee, Hamilton, Aberdeen and back again, everywhere, everywhere, we will follow on...

[@RebelliousProtagonist]

the thing he did yesterday when Ghana scored..Proves he got a long way... He and another defender where running after this ball that were up in the air...Bocanegra and Gyan were next to each other...Bocanegra were trying 2 push him away...But he failed...And Gyan were alone with Howard and they scored...Bocanegra were already like " Fuck That " and stopped running -.-

[@USAmbassadorToFIFA]

@RdSoxFan618 Indeed. It's going to be interesting to see who gets the chance to shine...Lichaj, O. Gonzalez, Opara, Castillo, or return to the likes of Bornstein and Pearce. It should be an interesting time. But I am excited to see who gets to play up top. It SHOULD be Altidore and Davies, but never know who could work their way in - at least into that 3rd striker role.

[@TheCMCDM]

@superhotdazzling well thanx..das pretty true...

[@vasavipandey]

3:16-3:24 michael bradley smiling. (: makes me happy

[@KiloHoplite]

@TheAstroboy13 Yeah we're out, but so are Italy and France, the finalists from cup! I'm not saying we're the best, but we're getting better all the time!

[@Gotenks70]

Former Fulham Player =D

[@soccerphenom22]

@timmni you know what..if I could add my two cents.... Im really tired of people hating on PROs.... Are you a PRO? Probably not... so why judge them when they are the ones that your gonna see on TV, not you... and they are the ones getting paid the big bucks, not you... and they are the ones that you will hear about for years to come, not you....

[@melojordans23]

@Tswiftfanlover hopefully we need more defenders

[@ray2259]

@JironCFC You're right... He is sounds a bit like Lampard lol

[@AC3FACE]

say it aint so Carlo!

[@em1b20vtec89]

landon said: the first time i saw him, was back in high school..i bet his high school didnt stand a chance agaisnt Alta loma high

[@alyssapalmer7804]

his brother, diego bocanegra, is my coach :)

[@animalover21218]

cool. he coaches my school's team as his daughter, emma, is on it

[@ethandavies584]

Came from spencerrrrr

[@grettelbocanegra3057]

Thats.my cousin too!

[@vasavipandey]

@starsarella haha, yes it is (: and he's INCREDIBLY hot also, so it all makes it better... though he was better looking with his brown hair. but him smiling just makes me happy :P

[@brazil1043]

[@mallorymalefoy4]

@TheTartanwarrior1 You're so lucky .. :D

[@wuxiagamescentral]

the real Captain America

[@isaiahetienne8314]

anyone from spencer fc?

[@silvershogun1]

@raybaybay808 have u heard of the city seattle or philly new york do u see how much ppl come to see the national team play the usa broke the attendance record when they hosted the 1994 world cup before the MLS where have u been the last 10 years

[@legandrydirk]

@cappaslangmurderer Actually playing in the SPL.Will give him the chance to retire having won something.If anything that is going to help him.And not suck the soul out of him.And its also good that he can play left back as well.£300 000 was a steal,he is right into the team tonight.Bedyeo has not been so lucky,his USA team mate.He will play in the Motherwell game.When Mackay comes in from Oz.It looks as if we will have much more creativity in the midfield.McCoist is building his own team now.

[@sparkyozzy]

Wwlcome to Rangers Carlos

[@ScratchedSteel]

I can't wait to see Boca kick the shit out of Neil Lennon. Class!

[@timmni]

@blackie1012 "almost" still doesnt mean they did it

[@JironCFC]

It Kinda sounds like Tim Howard is starting to get an English accent

[@starsarella]

@vasavipandeyi get it, its INCREDIBLY rare lol

[@complainer101]

@abercrombiegirly5 this isn't ellen degeneres or some chatty talkshow. he's not supposed to be funny or ultra-charming, this is a serious interview..

[@joseholmesvidalosorio9868]

*

[@n4king352]

Everybody keeps calling Ghana Mediocre but they have gone further than France, Italy, England and the US. . . thats not an easy feet

[@brwnsugarrxD]

yup, tim howard is starting to get an english accent.

[@elrojomuerto6x]

two world cups in a row.. i think Ghana has won themselves a rival..

[@Waytogo135]

I've got the same name as him. Hopefully i can be like him one day

[@legandrydirk]

@TheGerard1983 Between 20 and 25 million.If Rangers loss the case.And Whyte has said he will pay for it.And know about it when taking over the club.Rangers fans are not in denial.And are not in debt like Celtic are.You fuckers better win tonight.I want my shares to go up in the club.Scottish football needs all our teams doing well.Hearts have Spurs and will no doubt go out.But I hope they catch Spurs cold.They have not had any games yet.I will be watching the Rangers game any way in Slovenia.

[@cappaslangmurderer]

i feel sorry for this great man as the SPL will suck the soul out of him.

[@PlanterDavid]

Welcome to Rangers.

[@crimen]

i was hoping they would beat ghana and than uruguay.. :(

[@R3L4PSE1]

he reminds me of Christian Bale

[@em1b20vtec89]

@meech0w..Hate him?? i never said that i hated him!?..i was just giving out my opinion

[@1ron4mbition]

Lol BlackMouth! No serious Respect for all those players who fighted for something and Made it! Most respect of Usa Players I have for Dempsey for sure! and then Donovan and Howard!

[@miaheat3wade]

@mohab18 LOL youre ridiculous! At least he played in the World Cup. At least he's playing PROFESSIONALLY IN France. Where are you playing? At home on your Playstation. Stop hating!

[@Jocole31]

I believe the reason the USA isnt at the top in Soccer is because all of our best athletes are playing american football and basketball. Soccer is ridiculed for kids at a young age. Especially high school. All the soccer players are called wimps for not playing football. I think if soccer was praised in the US like it is over the world,we would be at the top.

[@peachyyy93]

@thegoteam The World Cup already started and it's about to end already. The final match is going to be between Holland and Spain... And USA are already eliminated.

[@fcmilsweeper9]

@timmni Dude, I know plently of youth clubs here who have beaten top teams like Chelsea and New Castle Youth. US National team has players in a bunch of top leagues, they have beaten Spain, Tied England, WON the group with England and were one silly mistake from making it to atleast the quarters. To sit there and say something like that is hilarious. Im not sitting here calling you a eurosnob, I give the respect maybe deserved, do the same for those who enjoy the beautiful game. worrdd lol.

[@Burn0Man]

@nipplefaceproduction 1. of all the schools in the world you choose to just put the initials of school 2. who cares

[@andreasfortunski]

the ref is wearing adidas...

[@kkkennedykk]

FIRST :D

[@GiiorgiiPorgy]

-_- i know

[@Laxsniper821]

Show your support for USA soccer by joining USA soccer supporters on facebook unfortunately i cant post a link but please join and show you bleed red white and blue!

[@kaydee161991]

@fcmilsweeper9 lol u must be high with this comment.

[@Criscoolmandude]

@timmni Germany kicked Englands ass!!!

[@fcmilsweeper9]

@TheAstroboy13 We beat you last year. Just saying...

[@TheTartanwarrior1]

A world-elite joining Rangers, better than Majstorivic who can only captain a poor priceless celtic team, hes probaly worth more than there whole team

[@wagerman55]

ONLY 2 SPANISH GUYS IN THE TEAM

[@miaheat3wade]

@mohab18 because he's playing professionally unlike you LOL

[@mendozachivas]

@thegoteam about 3 weeks ago, and the usa is already eliminated dude. ure a little late.

[@blackie1012]

@timmni LOLOLOL Almost beating Germany =/= mediocre.

[@abercrombiegirly5]

hes smokinng hottt but he doesn't seem like he has a good personality.

[@xelisa13x]

Ghana is ridiculous... Uruguay is going to beat them easily. Unfortunately the US team doesn't have hability, or technic as well...and this is Africa's world cup, and Ghana is the only country that remains, so they are going to fight till death in this world cup.

[@fcmilsweeper9]

@timmni Fluke? I bet you didnt even watch the game. US got robbed against algeria and slovenia and everyone knows it. Get real man, your scared. Fulham is a team in the premiership. They may not be the "big four" (what are you a liverpool fan too?) but they are good. David James is on Portsmouth, they are not in the premiership. And Donnovan didnt fit in at BM. This happens all the time, M. Owen spain? He pwnd at everton tho, with TIM HOWARD. Im sure you can find highlights of him.

[@GustavoCLa]

What a ridiculous comment. Unlike American sports, soccer is not about beeing strong or tall. Does Messi or Iniesta fit in your American definition of "good athlete"?

[@notislandboi4325]

Gustavo C Lan yes.. they're extremely quick and very strong

[@abercrombiegirly5]

he just doesnt seem like it in interviews i have seen and stuff. maybe he doesnt like interviews? he seems sweet just kinda boring. you knowv

[@abercrombiegirly5]

he just doesnt show any personality in interviews and stuff and maybe he does, he just doesnt like interviews?

[@Rathian1592]

yea America sucks,we only tied England and won our Group and made it to round of 16.......when Defending champions and runner ups get eliminated in group stage but nooo.......America sucks rite?

[@GiiorgiiPorgy]

Mexican people and White people should hook up more often ;)
