		Beasley said, though, that he’s still not satisfied and won’t be until he wins an MLS Cup.

		Chicago Fire assistant coach Denis Hamlett, who was with Beasley in the Windy City for his entire career in MLS and has remained close to him, believes that the move to PSV was a perfect fit because of Beasley's strengths and the way the Dutch sides usually play.
		Beasley, who plays for the Dutch team PSV Eindhoven, will miss Wednesday's Champions League semifinal against AC Milan - and could also be unavailable for the Americans' next two World Cup qualifiers if his recovery proceeds slowly.

		With Beasley more comfortable on the left wing, Convey will likely be a central or right-sided midfielder with the national team.
		Once Beasley can adjust to playing at the top level, he'll be one of the league's--and the country's--best players.
		He could be spoiled by his role with dominant, hungry attacks, but should improve his decision-making and passing speed in these setups instead of relying too much on his speed and abilities to beat defenders off the dribble and create his own shot.
