Explanation
Season will have just ended for most MLS teams, save the two teams in the MLS Cup Final. There is no need for any of the potential guys to have to fly across the world for 3-4 days. So I expect a Euro heavy roster. I'd look for a lot of "newer" guys to get a good amount of time. It's never to early to integrate forwards into the US fold, so Conor Doyle is my outside shot forward. I like his game and he's getting as much time as Jozy Altidore and Eddie Johnson these days, so why not? Here is a starting lineup I'd like to see.
---------------------Guzan
Lichaj-----Goodson-----Onyewu-----Bocanegra
---------------Edu----------Jones
Bedoya------------Holden------------Feilhaber
--------------------Altidore

ReplyDeleteRun DMB has 17 goals for the nats, let's put him at forward... doesn't matter how many goals he has or hasn't scored our forward situation is shit either way. and who do you want if we don't take spector, altidore, or gooch?
ReplyDelete^ was meant for the removed comment.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I really kinda like that idea. Beasley is as fast and a better finisher than Findley, and we know how BB loves his flyer to open up space for Jozy. Problem is, who do you take off? Holden? Edu? Bradley?
ReplyDelete1000% chance Micheal Bradley is called, starts and going 90 like always!!!!!!! He' no longer one of the best 11 but dad makes these calls and junior will always be picked over anyone else.
ReplyDeleteI see 5 of the 18 never play for their clubs so how have they earned a look with the Nat's? Is it an still honor to play for the National Team or are we just making up numers?
ReplyDeletebecause the US Mens National Team is no position to pick and choose its players based on if they're playing...Robbie Findley plays every week, as does Jonathan Bornstein...so you're point is kinda moot
