Gooch would do well because the french league is physical and he would be a perfect fit. I'm excited about De Bontin because he's really turning Monaco into a team with close ties to America. yeah, he’s even talking about finding Americans and brining them into Monaco’s academy to have a pipeline.

I like the owner for Monaco, and if he does what he wants to do, this will only be better for the USMNT. Gooch would do well to go to Monaco.

I'd like to see Benny Fielhaber go basically anywhere but Derby. Why not Monaco then? I guess I'll just keep my fingers crossed that he lights up the Olympics. it’d be nice to get him out of Belgium.

How about Oguchi Onyewu. He's been rumored to be joining a french team. well immediately, it’s Michael Bradley, but I don’t think that is going to happen so it might just be Adu for this year.

After more than 30 years of involvement in American soccer, as a player, coach, referee and most recently as an influential figure in U.S. Soccer and the U.S. Soccer Foundation, de Bontin is leaving his home in Kenilworth, Ill., to move to Monaco to run AS Monaco. De Bontin's move came at the calling of Prince Albert of Monaco, his former teammate at Amherst College and longtime friend. .... One of De Bontin's goals is to develop close ties with American soccer. He has been serving on U.S. Soccer's technical committee that U.S. Soccer President Sunil Gulati formed after the 2006 World Cup to evaluate the nation's approach to youth player development and coaching education. De Bontin hopes to sign one or two Americans for next season and develop working relationships with U.S. soccer organizations shortly. (He also hopes to get a waiver from the French league to allow Americans to enter Monaco's youth academy -- and to develop a reciprocal program so ASM youth graduates can play college soccer like he did more than a quarter a century ago.)

I also expect Sacha Kljestan, Robbie Rogers, and Michael Orozco to shine. Hopefully we can move many more young players to Europe after the Olympics.

He has showed very well when wearing the US kit, hopefully that trend will continue. Beijing is his time to shine.
