Back in the day, I played for: Fairfax Foxes 1990 - 1996, then several others (Chantilly Heat, Manassas Roadrunners, Vista Something, Sterling Something) Osbourn High School Eagles 1996 - 2000
Favorite National Team (other than U.S.): Holland
Favorite Player (no longer playing): Dennis Bergkamp, honorable mentions: Zinedine Zidane (30 seconds of craziness shouldn't tarnish a career of ridiculous soccer prowess), Gianfranco Zola
Favorite Current Player: C. Fabregas, honorable mentions: T. Henry, C. Ronaldo
Favorite Current U.S. Player: Michael Bradley
Favorite U.S. Player (no longer playing): Clint Dempsey. I'm half kidding. But he would easily be my favorite player if he didn't disappear from 1/2 of the games he's in.
Martin Tyler: Great soccer commentator or the greatest soccer commentator? Greatest. Referencing a recent match's attendance as "palindromic" = sublime.
Worst U.S. broadcaster: Marcelo Balboa
Bike or flip throw? Bike
Local soccer pub: Summers
Favorite Soccer Book: Fever Pitch by Nick Hornby or it's not really a book, but Michael Davie's soccer diary of the 2002 World Cup was sensational.
Best soccer match you've seen: 1999 UEFA Champions League Final
