Howard is the best US keeper of our generation, and Friedel has been awesome for Blackburn and Villa but rather exiled from the USMNT.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Friedel actually chose to retire from international competition before the 2006 world cup. If he hadn't I don't think there is much doubt he would have started for us in 2006 and maybe even this year considering the way he played in 2002 and his track record in the EPL. He knew we were in good hands with Howard though so he stepped aside for more time off.

Ah. Ok that makes sense. I remember hearing calls for Friedel on a football show I listened to, and they made it sound like there was animosity.
