Return of the Striker: An Interview with Brian McBride

Nov. 27, 2001

During the U.S. Men's National Team's current training camp in preparation for the team's Dec. 9 match-up with the Korea Republic, forward Brian McBride has returned to the team after a five-month layoff due to a recurrence of a rare blood disorder. McBride was a part of the 1998 World Cup side in France, and was instrumental in the United States effort to qualify for 2002 Korea/Japan prior to his illness. We sat down with Brian after training earlier today in the secluded, serene hills of Chula Vista, California, to talk about the effect his illness had on his life and his future role with the national team.
