Stuart Holden on the rise with Bolton Wanderers

[Zeppo]

Stuart Holden planning big future with U.S.

A children’s charity fundraiser held a week ago probably wasn’t the place to be thinking about payback or a grudge, but you couldn’t have blamed Stuart Holden if he didn’t at least think about the idea of taking a run at Nigel DeJong.

The two players were celebrity bartenders at a charity fundraiser, but they shared more than just similar jobs as English Premier League midfielders. It was less than nine months earlier in Amsterdam where a reckless De Jong challenge broke Holden’s leg and risked jeopardizing his chances of staying with Bolton, not to mention his chances of making the U.S. World Cup team.

Instead of holding a grudge, Holden smiled and shook the Dutchman’s hand. The subject of the tackle didn’t even come up.

Give Zeppo an American football thread like we did for Jamaica.

I hope the sellout never starts for USGAY.

I can not stand losers who abandon their home country just because they arent good enough to start for them.

Out of touch with reality here? Stuart Holden is a good player. To suggest he wouldn't have been able to obtain a Scotland cap in his career is farcical. In any event, at least understand the man's biography. He didn't flee Scotland voluntarily.

He would be on the bench....Much like he is right now in USA.

He spent 10 years there, and turned his back on them once he got to America. He probably realized that in America, even if he is a lowly scot, he still has a certain "Class" based solely on the fact he is white.

Be advised that you're arguing with a 17-year old who hasn't quite yet figured out his elbow from his asshole.  That and the fact that any further wasted debate only serves aspirate what should be a dying thread.

Precisely why my response didn't include a quote of that specific poster's comments.
