Nyarko Tops the List of 2008 Draft Prospects Page 1 of 2 ESPNsoccernet - MLS - Nyarko tops the list of 2008 draft prospects Page 1 of 2 ESPNsoccernet: MLS Wednesday, January 16, 2008 Nyarko tops the list of 2008 draft prospects Buzz Carrick With the combine over and the draft almost upon us (Friday, 2 p.m. ET, ESPN2), it's time to set aside the positional lists and think about the best 20 overall players in the pool. Top 20 prospects 1. Patrick Nyarko, F, Virginia Tech -- The best individual talent in the pool and odds on to go No. 1 overall, particularly now that Kansas City has traded up to the top spot and expects to lose Eddie Johnson. He's quick, fast and dangerous, with great feet and touch. 2. Julius James, D, UConn -- The best defender in the draft pool, he has a terrific set of athletic tools and a complete game. He didn't dominate the combine like I hoped, but he's still the best back. 3. Eric Avila, M, UCSB -- Pure attacking flair and a willingness to do defensive work make him highly coveted. I'll be shocked if he lasts past pick No. 6 despite missing most of the combine because he was with the U-23s. 4. Michael Videira, M, Duke -- Despite the calf injury that caused him to miss the combine, he remains the best senior midfielder. Classy two- way player who can fill most spots in the midfield if need be. UCSB's Eric Avila brings offensive creativity to the table. (UCSB Athletic 5. Brek Shea, M, U.S. U-17s -- Staked a claim as the best midfielder at Department/Other) the combine, and he's only 17. Draft status has gone way up as he shows he can handle the best the seniors have to offer. 6. Pat Phelan, D, Wake Forest -- A strong and capable defender who reads the game well and has good enough feet to play in midfield. His best spot is as a center back, and he'll be a defensive leader and organizer. 7. Chance Myers, D, UCLA -- A modern kind of outside defender who might well play a great deal of midfield. He's fast with great feet and has the game to defend and still make an impact at the other end. 8. Joseph Lapira, F, Notre Dame -- Skipped the combine either to peruse a contract in Europe or at least create the perception he is so he can get a full offer from MLS. He's a small but quick and dogged striker who scores a ton of goals. If he was set on MLS, he'd be higher up the list. 9. Josh Lambo, GK, U.S. U.S. U-17s -- The second-best keeper at the combine, and he's 17. Strong, athletic, quick and a strong shot stopper; his only weakness is reading the game, and that's due to youth and inexperience. His progress at the same age is ahead of both Brad Guzan and Chris Seitz. 10. Xavier Balc, F, Ohio State -- Balc has the sweetest left foot in the pool. He's blessed with terrific http://soccernet.espn.go.com/print?id=498975&type=story&cc=5901 1/17/2008 ESPNsoccernet - MLS - Nyarko tops the list of 2008 draft prospects Page 2 of 2 vision and is a great passer. A touch slow, but so was Preki. He's a real game-changer for the right system. 11. Ciaran O'Brien, M, UCSB -- Composed and confident on the ball with terrific awareness and passing ability; O'Brien will be best-served as a linking, deep-lying midfielder on a team that uses two midfielders sitting in front of the defense. 12. Eric Brunner, D, Ohio State -- Brunner has better feet than Iro, is taller and better in the air than Phelan, and is quicker and smarter than David Horst. He can also play wide in a pinch. Oh yeah, he's also a lefty. 13. Sean Franklin, D, Cal-State Northridge -- Big, strong, fast and willing to get forward, Franklin cemented himself as one of the top two outside backs in just one day at the combine. It's easy to see why he's in the latest U-23 camp. 14. Alex Nimo, M, U.S. U-17 -- Small but nifty and quick, he's also tough as nails and hard to get off the ball with anything short of a straight shove. Capable of nice combination play from wide in midfield, but will have to learn to cross. 15. Peter Lowry, M, Santa Clara -- A highly cultured, offensive-minded midfielder, probably not quite capable of the pure No. 10 role. He can score goals out of midfield and makes everyone on his team better. 16. Yannick Reyering, F, Virginia -- Reyering is an immense target-type striker who will easily handle the rigors of MLS. He was injured late in the year and wasn't invited to the combine, but he's the best target striker in this pool 17. Andrew Jacobson, M, Cal -- A smooth distributor as a defensive midfielder with great vision and tactical awareness. His combine teammates were much better when he was on the field. He needs to tackle a bit more. 18. Andy Iro, D, UCSB -- Capable of dominating a game defensively; he's big, quick and physical. His feet aren't very good, but neither were Eddie Pope's. 19. Stephen King, M, Maryland -- King is small but is a well-rounded and strong midfielder. His somewhat lackadaisical one day at the combine wasn't great, but players like this aren't picked for their combine performance, but rather their impressive body of college work. 20. Dominic Cervi, GK, Tulsa -- The most MLS-ready keeper in the pool, he has size, strength and quickness. Cervi has a reputation for the occasional mental gaffe but had such a good combine that Peter Nowak added him to the U-23 camp. Buzz Carrick is the publisher of 3rd Degree, the FC Dallas News Source.

When the first pick in the entire draft is traded straight up for a solid, but unspectacular veteran defender, it doesn't say a lot about the talent available to MLS teams this year. San Jose coach Frank Yallop took a look at the draft's selections and decided that he would rather acquire rugged central defender Nick Garcia than keep the pick and take the best player in the draft. That is one of the key problems with the 2008 MLS draft. There is no "best player," no Maurice Edu, who most teams would jump at taking. There are plenty of talented players, but very few who elicit favorable opinions across the board. What there is in this draft is a small group of quality talents capable of stepping up and playing right away. That half-dozen or so quality players will make the first half of the first round easy enough to predict. What comes after that group of players will be anyone's guess in what has the makings of the most unpredictable MLS draft in recent memory. Here is one way the draft could break down: Ohio State's Xavier Balc could be headed to 1. Kansas City Wizards: Julius James (University of Connecticut) Columbus. (AP) Some expect the Wizards to grab highly touted forward Patrick Nyarko (Virginia Tech) to replace the soon-to-be departed Eddie Johnson, but don't be so sure. Kansas City is lining up a move for Colombian forward Ivan Trujillo. The Wizards would be best served by choosing James, the best defender in the draft. 2. FC Dallas: Patrick Nyarko (Virginia Tech) The Hoops just parted ways with Carlos Ruiz and will have a chance to fill the void at forward with the best one in the draft. No, Nyarko isn't going to come in and score like Ruiz, but he has the tools to be an impact player at the low, low cost of zero dollars against the salary cap (Nyarko is a Generation adidas player). 3. Real Salt Lake: Eric Avila (UCSB) The folks in Utah are convinced that they have made the defensive additions needed to turn around one of the worst defenses in the league. With left back Ian Joy and Colombian central defender Jamilson Olave set to be signed, RSL will pass on Andy Iro and Pat Phelan to select Avila, the best midfielder in the draft. Avila has some fitness and physical strength issues, but those can be worked on. What can't be http://soccernet.espn.go.com/print?id=499138&type=story&cc=5901 1/17/2008 ESPNsoccernet - MLS - Projecting the 2008 first round Page 2 of 3 taught is his impressive vision and passing touch. 4. Los Angeles Galaxy: Andy Iro (UCSB) Ruud Gullit didn't like much of what he saw at the MLS combine, but he had to be impressed with Iro's imposing size and athletic ability.

    PREVIEW ISSUE FOUR – 24TH APRIL 2012 MADRID CLOSE IN REAL TAKE THE SPOILS IN THE EL CLASICO AND CLOSE IN ON THE SILVERWARE After a poor week for both sides in Europe, Real and Barca were desperate to grab a win against their biggest rivals on a dramatic, rain-lashed Saturday night at the Nou Camp. It was Real that grabbed the vital win and probably clinched the La Liga title. Los Merengues went ahead through German midfielders Sami Khedira and were comfortable for long periods, but Barca’s Chilean substitute Alexis Sánchez equalised with just 20 minutes remaining. Cristiano Ronaldo’s clinical strike just three minutes later settled the game with Madrid now seven points clear, with only four games remaining. Madrid coach José Mourinho named an very attacking team and his side began the better. Ronaldo’s early header from a corner brought a superb flying save from goalkeeper Víctor Valdés. His opposite number Iker Casillas was then quickly off his line when full-back Dani Alves dispossessed Sergio Ramos. The game was being played at a fearsome pace and French striker Karim Benzema brought the best out of Valdés again. Barca thought they had gone front when Alves had the ball in the net after a Cristian Tello run, but the youngster had been flagged offside.
