The rankings based on performance should be:
1) Don Leo "Beenie Man" Beenhakker for making dreams come true
2) Porterfield...He beat and tied Mexico at home, trounced Canada and if the team kept focus, we may have had a chance
3) Kevin Verity (before my time but if we did not get teef, we in de WC 32 years ago)
4) Gally....One tie away from Italia '90
BSC in his first stint may be given honorable mention. But after the second stint, well you all know wha happen dere. Needless to say, sequels are never as good as the original.
Vranes, although half decent, not worthy of consideration. Did he not go to Costa Rica on a scouting mission, but was turned away for no Visa?
