That was soon followed by rumors of a move to Benfica and a solid season with Dallas before an injury. Ever since then he really hasn't shown much which surprises me there is still alot of hype for Eddie. If anything I keep seeing more and more people making the claim that its time for him to put up or shut up at the national level (myself included).

A good athlete yes, but not a good soccer player. No instinct, no running off the ball, no decent shots. Twellman does alot more with less. You’re right. A good athlete yes, but not a good
