DaMarcus Beasley

...

in 1999 Had Landon Donovan, DaMarcus Beasley, Kyle Beckerman, Bobby Convey, Oguchi Onyewu, who went on to represent the US-

Oh my gosh

... at the senior World Cup.

Chermitty's injured, we're bringing in somebody the same kind of thing, but same kind of profile we see with Nadiri, Shankland, they're big guys to play that kind of number nine role.

I get what you're saying, recent times with Matt Polster and James Sands coming for the MLS, haven't really worked out and kind of tarnished the MLS's reputation at Rangers but if you go back 15-20 years we were bringing players over for that area that actually worked out as really good players me and Claudio Arena I keep saying probably one of the most underrated players in my time as a Rangers supporter came from the MLS, Morris Edu Demarcus Beasley these players were all MLS players and had successful times at Rangers so you can't write the guy off just based on where he's coming from but Looking at his YouTube reels, like we say, you can't really base players off the YouTube reels with should learn for that when we watched Umar Sadiq a couple of years ago.

But the guy looks as if he can score equally with his left and his right and his head.

So that's a good thing that he can use both feet and a header.

Jose Cervantes.

was a disaster that probably says more about the person that brought him to the club as opposed to him and Matt Polster was probably the other most recent one who came and done a job but you could kind of tell he was never comfortable in the Rangers shirt but if we're going to be critical we should be positive as well because we also had Malik Tillman, he was fantastic and then going a wee bit further back, Claudia Reina Demarcus Beasley, Morris Adu, Bocanegra so there have been some good ones in there and of course not necessarily from the United States but Makanya joined us from Philadelphia Union recently and he's settled really well so if Kevin Kelsey can settle really well as well that would be great news so just tell us a bit about yourself first of all if you don't mind so in terms of what are you up to how are you involved with Portland Timbers that type of thing

Yeah, so it's interesting because I came to Portland four years ago and I started working Univision, which was the Spanish local news station out here at the time.

It was the only Spanish news station.

[laughs] Nick, if you think of the, of, of the, of the triumvirate of PG-13 bodily emissions, uh, in a football context, um, we've had Jens Lehmann having a piss on the side of the pitch.

Uh, Demarcus Beasley once famously did it at a World Cup.

Uh, Gary Lineker shit himself on a pitch, although not visibly, um, at Italia '90.

But when it comes to puking footballers, Zidane obviously the most famous example as, as Fisted Away said there, um, before his free kick against England at Euro 2004.

there's

Demarcus Beasley.

Boca Negra, Demarcus

Beasley.

Like, we all were like, I feel like he's just a different class of player than anyone we've seen at left back.

Since DeMarcus Beasley, the way he moves off the ball, the way he attacks the ball, the way he jumps for his headers.

He looks as athletic and like natural at playing defense and soccer as Jack looks unathletic and unnatural trying to defend.

But I don't know.
