YOU WILL BE MISSED!



Say it ain't so Eddie Pope. Please tell me you are not retiring from MLS soccer.


Well, you will be missed. You were a class act that made a believer out of this sceptic about the potential of American soccer. You personified class on and off the pitch, and MLS soccer will be losing a great ambassador.


You could have played in Europe for bigger bucks, but you stayed here and carved out a glorious career.



Not bad for a kid from a small town in North Carolina.
