[edit] More recent photo
With the current World Cup coverage is there any recent copyright free photos of Alexi that can be added to the article? He certainly looks a heck of a lot better now.:P I don't think the old one should be deleted, just a second more recent one Agne27 20:20, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
Does this man have a mother, Greek or otherwise?
"His love for music is not surprising, given the considerable attention Alexi has received for his uncanny resemblance to Chris Barron, lead singer of the popular 90s rock band, the Spin Doctors." Huh? That makes it "not surprising"??? --- "His love for politics is not surprising, given the considerable attention Alexi has received for his uncanny resemblance to John F. Kennedy, former president of the United States."
- I agree and have removed the remark. David Schaich 03:15, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Really the first?
Some resources indicate that Lalas is not the first American to play in the Italian first division. See for example: http://www.sover.net/~spectrum/colin.html#lalas I think that the sentence "becoming the first – and to date, the only – American to play in the Italian first division" should be removed or modified.

- I didn't change the statement on the article because the source is an essay on what seems like a personal web page, but I added a footnote mentioning this discrepancy, and the link you provided. Many thanks for the information. --ChaChaFut 18:14, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

- maybe he was the first american without italian origins, the other two have an italian name... while Lalas has greek origins...
[edit] What's a "cap"?
I played soccer as a teenager, but I'm not sure what it means. Let's either define it replace it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 66.92.53.49 (talk) 18:50, 11 January 2007 (UTC).
- when a player is called up for his/her country's national squad. it's a common sports term, at least in soccer. --24.181.231.132 04:57, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
- i played soccer too and have never heard the term. i wondered if it meant "captain" or what. i agree that perhaps the article could define the word or briefly explain it or something... --Wedge 03:55, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
- it seems it's an american thing...
