That'd be sweet if he played for Chelsea. And I am not sure if he is really that strong, he is like 5'7" and 160 pounds or something, so nothing to write home about yet there.
Before watching that sixty minutes thing, I was kind of skeptical that one player could change a lot of peoples views on the sport, but after seeing some clips I honestly think he will do things. In the Sports Illustrated article it talked about how there were overflow crowds and people trying to spy on his preseason games alone, so his presence is definately going to increase attendance.
It is just crazy how young yet mature he is.
Also, if the MLS can deal him out in a few years for a huge transfer fee...
