With Friedel out of contract in the summer and reaching the end of his career at 39, time has run out for the American to put money aside for his retirement

He has been running that youth soccer academy — although I don't know how personally involved he is — in Ohio for years, and it took a terrible hit with the recession. It was kind of a crazy business model, if you look into it.

I've heard that he is pretty likely to re-join MLS next season, which means his yearly income will probably fall to around $100,000. I'm sure he will be fine though. If he didn't burn bridges with US Soccer following his international retirement in 2002 he will surely be able to get a "normal" job there.

Only a company he owns is going bankrupt not him personally.

Pretty sure a scummy prostitute is blackmailing him and threatening to go to The News of the World with their illicit tranny gangbang sextape.
