Breaking more than a decade of silence, former U.S. soccer coach Steve Sampson said Tuesday he dropped John Harkes from the national team roster two months before the 1998 World Cup because the American captain was having an affair with the wife of teammate Eric Wynalda.
Harkes has long denied having an affair with Amy Wynalda.
Wynalda brought up the situation Monday night during a discussion on "Fox Football Fone-In" about a scandal in England over an alleged relationship between current English captain John Terry and the former partner of Wayne Bridge, his teammate on the national squad.

There's actually more to this story. Harkes had been after Amy Wynalda for some time. But despite his winning smile had dulcet voice he'd been turned down again and again. Then, just as he'd given up all hope he mentioned he'd once played for the mighty Rams and hey presto, Amy legs parted wider than the Red Sea.
