We're going to try a different spin on the popular feature of having you submit questions for a specific player. Normally the formula goes like this:
1) We pick the guy
2) You ask insightful and entertaining questions
3) Player gives insightful and entertaining answers
This time out, we want you to ask questions about ... well, anything really ... and we'll match up the question with the right player to respond. Kind of like am e-mail grab bag.
So fire away!

I would like to know: After having played 3 of the top 10 teams in the world the past few weeks, what is the banter like on the field between players of different teams? I mean, obviously England's players spoke english but, we have several players that are fluent in Spanish as well. I just want to know what is said on the field, and if Argentina was as frustrated as they appeared? Im a big fan of the Premiere League, so if anybody has an example of some conversation they had with an English player during the match, that would be cool! Thanks in advance!!

I want to know what the day in a life of a european footballer (who has no family around)looks like. So you do training for 2 hours and then what? Naps, playing video games, watching games?
Having played against Barbados twice before (defeating them 7-0 and 4-0) and just playing some of the best competition in the world. Do you think it should be somewhat a surprise if (god forbid) Barbados keeps it to close for comfort in these next two qualifiers? And do you have any predictions or wishes about the scoreline for these two upcoming qualifiers?
This is a cool feature!
For any of the guys playing in Europe:
From watching interviews, I've found out that a lot of you were pleasantly surprised by being recognized on the street in Europe by fans of your club team. How often do you get recognized on the street in the US by fans of the national team?
Ask Heath Pearce if he is staying at Hansa for next season. He has played well in the friendlies so are other teams interested. Ask Freddy about the new manager and his future at Benfica. Also, ask what him and Gago talked about after the match. That Gago guy seems like a piece of work.
Will you ask clint and landon what their preferred positions are? Because it seams like they switch spots a lot. Sometimes Clint is out wide sometimes its Landon.
Dear US Men's Soccer, I speak on behalf of all the female fans - can we get a picture of Baby Bradley shirtless?
I would like one of the players to tell me what it's like to play for our country? I can't imagine how cool that would be and I would love for someone to tell me what it was like to go up against the best team in the world in front of a sold out crowd, and getting to dawn a U.S. soccer jersey?

2. What exactly happened with Pablo and the phantom red card on Sunday?
For Sacha:
1. What inspired the stache? Did your mom cry when she saw it?
2. How is Benny's morale these days? A lot of us are rooting for him to get back with the senior team.

I know Damarcus played in The Camp Nou, and Freddy Adu, in the San Siro. What was it like, can you describe the feeling when you walked out onto the field.

Will you please give La Liga a shot? I think your game is well suited in Spain...not to mention you could gather a hefty transfer fee.....Keep killin it like you did against Argentina...you're fun to watch again...

I'm sending Julie $5 if you post the desired photograph. C'mon Blog, you know you want Julie to have five of my hard-earned dollars.
Dear Mike Bradley,
How you doin'?
Also, do you have a preference between the attacking role you play for Heerenveen and the more holding role you play for the national team? What aspects do you prefer for either role?
To Landon...
We all know your a huge video game buff, my question is when you are playing a game like FIFA 08 etc what team do you play as?
Also, not to disrespect your choice on playing in the states in anyway but do you/have you recently been approached by any euro teams in the past few years trying to talk you out of this choice and come play for them?
hey Amy - the desired pic is posted and i referenced it for you - do I get the $5?

On behalf of those of us who hate seeing players dive or roll on the ground like they are on fire to embelish contact, can we get some opinions on why or why not these activities should be used?
What's it like getting over the culture barrier in some parts of Europe?
Do you use translators or do you just learn basic terms and go on from there?

This question is for Carlos. What is a typical day for you? Either when your in Cali or England? I hope that whoever you end up playing for they know how GREAT A PLAYER THEY HAVE IN YOU!!!
Hey, I wanna ask for Carlos. Now that you are out of contract, would you go back to MLS?
And now for Landon, there were rumors here in Brazil, that you would leave the LA Galaxy to play in Flamengo, how true is that?
Thanks!
project soccer:
I'm fairly certain I've seen Bradley give an interview in dutch
My inquiry is about the the current fan support. At the England game we were pleasantly surprised by the size of the US supporters section. At Giants stadium we had the same reaction. Has the team noticed a growth in fan support at games? What are some of the players favorite chants? Also, Frankie Hedjuk's toss of his jersey into the supporters section at the England game was a memorable moment. Thanks Frankie!
ithappens -
I can say from personal experience that Steve Cherundolo might just be the best dancer! He has this move that he has been doing since high school where he starts with his hands on his knees and eventually gets them over his head in a circular motion while moving his hips like he is hula hooping. Maybe these guys can get him to do it and post it in the video section!
To Clint Dempsey-What happened to your website/blog? Does it look like it will be up and running anytime in the near future...or ever?
To anyone:
Many of you majored in non-sports-related-majors in college. What did you have in mind for your career?
Another q...
I know a lot of MNT players have roots in California, so what's it like to come back home and play?
Are there any places/foods that the guys like to enjoy while back in CA?
Winning Eleven (ProEv) or FIFA ?
Cruyff Turn or Rabona?
What is your selection criteria for football boots?
What is the best prank you have observed in a locker room or around the team?
When can we expect a USA MNT calendar??
Maybe not so much NYT shoot or AC Milan, but more like Nike DTOM.
Hint hint, nudge nudge.
714to617: They've been making both MNT and WNT calendars for some time now.
This question is for Michael Bradley
Are you single? If so would you ever date a fan of the national team?
