Message: <blockquote data-quote="klinthicum" data-source="post: 144904">I've watched every game start to finish so far in this world cup and I must say the worst player in the whole tournament is the American openside flanker, Todd Clever. He is garbage. All he ever does is accumulate penalties when he's playing defence and lose possession, whether by kick or drop ball on offence. On top of that he complains constantly. I finally saw the Tonga match and based on what I've seen previously I must agree that Todd Clever does alot of damage.  I won't say he's the worst player in the whole tournament though.He was very fortunate not to get a yellow, actually this is one of the few matches I've seen him play in and not get a yellow.The U.S. needs less bruisers and sprinters and should go for people who can finish off,  create gaps, get in a position to accept a good pass and pass. Not just guys who can bench 450 pounds and run fast.  That's why they can't win, but can only compete.  There's dozens of guys who would be better fit for the us national team.  Even though they may be smaller and not as fast and may not stand out as much in local club matches, they will be able to compete better at the highest level where their opponents have equal muscle.</blockquote>
