Runaway McBride
Fire player nearing end of 17-year pro career
by Unknown
Brian McBride is a soccer player from nine years old. He was playing from elementary school playgrounds to stardom in international soccer. He played with the national team some World Cups, he's playing with the Fire of Chicago at Toyota Park. He's 38 years old, he's a father of three girls and his plans to start soccer camps teaching all aspects of the attacker's game. Some teammates and couches said that he's pretty professional, he respect for the game, he has work ethic, he has old school, etc. He's ended his 17-year pro career, he will play the last game in Los Angeles this October 23. Many say he still has the ability to give Major League Soccer defenders occasional lessons for a few more years. "I have no second thoughts", he said, "Unless I can do it at the top level and be a good example for not only my teammates but out of respect for the sport, I don't think it would be right to continue".
I think he's right to close his career as a player in this moment, he's at the top. He's thinking to work as a couch to be an example for the teammates and soccer fans. He's has all player wanted. He played in the national team, he's one of the best in the league, he's a father, he's a husband and he's an icon for many people.After 17 years of career he's convince that it's the time to do another things.
