But Can He Play Center Forward?
From the (edited) U.S. Soccer press release:
U.S. Soccer has unanimously approved the addition of Fabian Núñez to the board as the second of three independent directors. Núñez, D-46th District, was elected to the California State Assembly in 2002 and sworn in as the State's 66th Speaker on February 9, 2004. Now in his fifth year as Speaker, he has served longer than any other Speaker since Californians adopted term limits in 1990.
“I have been a soccer fan my entire life and look forward to helping contribute to the remarkable growth of U.S. Soccer," said Núñez, an active soccer player who attended last year's World Cup.

At risk of nitpicking, it he was " sworn in as . . . Speaker on February 9, 2004", then he isn't "now in his fifth year as Speaker"......
