Harkes Wynalda Soccer
FILE - In this June 18, 1995 file photo, United States players, from left, midfielder John Harkes (6), midfielder Thomas Dooley (5); and forward Eric Wynalda (11) celebrate Wynalda's goal during the first half of a soccer game against Mexico at RFK stadium in Washington. Breaking more than a decade of silence, former U.S. coach Steve Sampson said Tuesday, Feb. 2, 2010, he abruptly dropped John Harkes from the U.S. roster two months before the 1998 World Cup because the American captain was having an affair with the wife of teammate Eric Wynalda. Wynalda disclosed the allegations Monday night, Feb. 1, during a discussion on "Fox Football Fone-In". Harkes has long denied having an affair with Amy Wynalda, and he repeated the denial Tuesday during a telephone interview with The Associated Press. (AP Photo/Greg Gibson, File)
