Tons of caps, tons of experience, consummate pro, locker room stabilizer, communicates well w/ his keeper, and organizes the back with aplomb. In KC, he has been seen making Jack Jewsbury into a serviceable left back from a midfielder and shepherding a young back line into a fairly stingy bunch. KC’s problems, and they are many, do not include defense. I just don’t understand, short of a personal rift w/ him and BB, why he isn’t at least a reserve who starts w/ Gooch out.

I also think that Tim Howard may literally kill someone if he never gets a competent back line while with the USMNT. It’s just unfair that he has to always be world class for us to have a chance anywhere, though it’s impressive that he can be.
