The mostly European-based squad was all over the field, running one-touch drills and other spacing exercise. The goalkeepers were in the northwest corner, alternating in the net while their coaches took shots at them. Several people were standing just inside the touchline, observing the workout while discussing the only player in the stadium who wasn't actively participating in the session. The guy that everybody at Crew Stadium - and everybody in the U.S. Soccer world was talking about was Clint Mathis, who had torn his right Anterior Cruciate Ligament just 24 hours earlier, but was standing and watching the team with a wide grin across his face.

A NEW VOICE IN THE BAY AREA SOCCER COMMUNITY ARENA NAMES 23-MAN ROSTER FOR NOV. 17 MATCH AGAINST EL SALVADOR AT RFK STADIUM ON ESPN Youth Is the Theme for Final Match in 2002 as Road to Germany 2006 Begins From the U.S. Soccer Communications Center October 29, 2002 CHICAGO (October 29, 2002) -U.S. Men's National Team head coach Bruce Arena has chosen a 23-man roster that will train in preparation for the international friendly against El Salvador on Sunday, November 17 at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C. The match will be broadcast live on ESPN beginning at 3 p.m. ET, and fans can also follow the action live online via ussoccer.com's MatchTracker, presented by Philips Electronics. The United States has not faced an international opponent since the team's historic quarterfinal finish at the 2002 FIFA World Cup in June. The team will train in the Washington, D.C. area beginning Nov. 10. Youth is the theme in the U.S. training camp, with the average player age coming in just under 24 years old. During the 2002 World Cup, the team's average age was 28. Eleven players will be in search of their first international cap against El Salvador, including high-scoring Revolution forward Taylor Twellman, who lit up MLS with 23 goals this year. During the previous four-year cycle under Bruce Arena, 93 different players were given an opportunity to play with the national team, and the trend resumes again as 2006 World Cup qualifying begins in about 18 months.

KC PACE Invites You "Inside The Mind Of..." Clint Mathis "U.S. Soccer: Clint Mathis Profits from Tough Brotherly Love" April 2, 2001 Soccer America Magazine Associate Editor Will Kuhns Clint Mathis brought the competitive fire he learned in his suburban Atlanta backyard to the forefront of the U.S. national team when it was needed most. Clint Mathis' first soccer coaches were his older brothers. Andrew and Phil are eight and 10 years older than Clint, and with-out any local professional soccer team to watch, they were his primary influences. Andrew and Phil were part of the youth soccer boom spawned by the NASL, but the Atlanta Chiefs were defunct by 1982, when Clint was 5. Clint adored soccer immediately, but very few of the neighborhood kids were his age, so he had to learn by playing against his brothers and their peers. As if playing against bigger boys wasn't tough enough, Andrew and Phil put restrictions on Clint to improve his skills. "When he was little [his brothers] wouldn't let him play unless he just used his left foot," says their mother, Pat Mathis. "They said if he used his right foot, he had to go in the house." Clint's brothers also taught him the physical side of the game, how to use his body to his advantage.

How fit is Clint? Posted: Friday May 10, 2002 3:45 AM Storylines Bandwagon MLS Game Watch WUSA Game Watch ... From the Stands By Jeff Green, CNNSI.com As the United States national team prepares for its final warmup matches before the World Cup, coach Bruce Arena has called MetroStars forward Clint Mathis' fitness level into question. "I think it's a combination of his environment with his club team and the fact that Clint is not always fully accountable for himself as well," Arena told the Washington Post this week. "That's something he has to do a little bit more of. Having said that, I do want to say whenever we have him in camp, he works hard. But we don't have control of him 24 hours a day, year-round; that's part of the issue. "It's going to get better, I can tell you that," said Arena, who focused on conditioning at the opening of a 10-day training camp in Cary, N.C. With the camp now drawing to a conclusion, the team has three remaining exhibition games: May 12 against Uruguay in Washington; May 16 against Jamaica in East Rutherford, N.J.; and May 19 against the Netherlands in Foxboro, Mass. Arena's comments did not sit well with MetroStars general manager Nick Sakiewicz, who defended his club's conditioning program and noted that Mathis who returned from a serious knee injury early this year had missed MetroStars training on multiple occasions to be with the national team.
