School of Nursing Stormont-Vall Regional Health Center 1500 SW Tenth Street Topkea, Kansas 66044-1353 Musings from the soccer world Rodman tops USA dream team Commentary Every so often, a columnist is allowed to just post a series of lists when their inspiration has run dry. Well, my inspiration hasn't run day, but I have a much juicier column that I'm working on for next week, and I came up with some fun soccer lists in the meantime. Besides, lists always seem to provoke discussion. So, doing my duty Sam Pierron as an American, as a male and as a sports fan (the three most list-loving sets of people in the world), here we go: rop six countries that didn't qualify for the World Cup: 5. Australia (yes, Australia ... you are free to argue it with me) 6. Uruguay 1. Russia 2. Czech Republic 3. Sweden 4. Portugal All-World players whose countries didn't qualify for the World Cup. Defenders: Norberto Solano (Peru), Paolo Montero (Uruguay), Manuel Dimas (Portugal) Goalkeeper: Mark Bosnich (Australia) Midfielders: Roy Keane (Ireland), Georgi Kinkladze (Georgia), Jari Litmaten (Finland), Ryan Giggs (Wales), Andrei Kanchelskis (Russia) Forwards: Andriy Shevchenko (Ukraine), George Weish (Ukraine) All-World players whose countries did qualify for the World Cup: Goalkeeper: Jose Luis Chilavert (Paraguay) 4. Portugal Defenders; Marcel Desailly (France), Lilian Thuram (France), Roberto Carlos (Brazil), Paolo Maldini(Italy) Midfielders: Zinedine Zidane (France), Rivaldo (Brazil), Ronald Forwards: Ronaldo (Brazil), Marcelo Salas (Chile), Dennis Bergkamp (Netherlands) Result of a hypothetical game played between these two teams: "Dlds" 2, "Didn'ts" 1. deBoer (Netherlands) Players whom I'm fortunate to get to see for their whole careers: 1. Michael Owen 2. Michael Owen 3. Michael Owen All of these are great, but not quite as much fun as playing the, "If America were like other countries" game. This game consists of figuring out which athletes in other sports would make good soccer players. Here are my thoughts: Defenders: Dale Carter, Deion Sanders, Ken Griffey Jr. and Gary Pavton. Midfielders: John Stockton, Nomar Garciaparra, Steve Young and Kordell Stewart. Forwards: Barry Sanders and Jerry Rice. mic exercise. But it's easy to imagine these guys playing soccer. Rodman's amazingly quick leaping ability, reflexes, catch-all hands and hours spent watching game tape for opponents' tendencies would serve him well as a goalkeeper. This is, of course, a purely acade- Watching Carter and Sanders play wing defender would be a treat, and so would watching Gary Payton sweep all attackers aside and provide good passes out of the back. Young, "Slash" and Stockton creat ing in the midfield, with Garciaparra, the Red Sox shortstop, and his incredible range behind them making tackles, would make for a formidable unit. Finally, Barry Sanders' runs with the ball (think Ronaldo or Owen) through the opposing defense would be the perfect complement to Jerry Rice's sense of positioning and the timing of his movements into open space.
