...region is an unlikely setting for the world's second-largest museum dedicated to Warhol's work and life (Pittsburgh has the biggest). It is a forgotten land of mountains, storks, scarecrows and industrious people - a quarter of whom are unemployed - struggling to adjust to post-communist life.

"His best quality is man management," says backup goalkeeper Tony Meola, who played for Arena at the University of Virginia in the late '80s. "You get chosen for a reason, whether you're a hard-nosed tackler or a playmaker. And those are the things you do." That's not the way many international coaches work it. Former U.S. and current China coach Bora Milutinovic, says Meola, makes players adjust to his system...
