Their Words
"I had a number of very flattering offers, and a lot of teams were involved, including, at some level, AC Milan. To be honest, the team that I was closest to going to was Borussia Dortmund. They had just won the European Championship, Júlio César had left, and they were interested in bringing me in. MLS agreed to a deal with them, and they offered me a very good amount of money." US National Team alum Eddie Pope, speaking to MLSsoccer.com.
