| US Soccer Roster Discussion (for May/June 2012) Posted by Sheep The US has five games in 17 days(  on 5/7 at 10:47 am ) beginning on 5/26, including WORLD CUP QUALIFIERS on 6/8 and 6/12. I would expect a roster release later this week, as camp begins on the 15th. I think with that many games we may see more than 23 brought in. Here's *my* 28: GK Howard Guzan Rimando(?) (Hamid?) D Lichaj Chandler Goodson Bocanegra Onyewu(?) (if healthy) Ream Cherundolo Johnson Parkhurst M Dempsey Donovan Bradley Torres Jones Edu Shea Beasley Kljestan(?) Williams (if healthy) Feilhaber (or Zusi?) F Altidore Gomez Wondolowski Adu(?) Boyd(?) (or Buddle?) Reply • Back to Top |
| Herc better be called up. And Adu deserves a call up more than DMB. This post was edited on 5/7 at 10:50 am Reply • Back to Top |

| Is Agudelo hurt or do you not see him getting a call up? Reply • Back to Top |

| Not so sure Agudelo should be on the roster. He needs to recover from his injury and earn a starting job in MLS before he gets another chance with the USMNT. Herc has to be called in Reply • Back to Top |
| I think this would be my 11. --------Altidore--Dempsey---------- Shea----Jones--Bradley-----Donovan Lichaj---Ream--Bocanegra---Chandler -------------Howard-------------- *toss ups for me * Shea/Fabian Johnson at LM * Dempsey at LM with Herc up top * Chandler at left, Cherundolo on the right(I love Cherundolo, but I think it's time to give the youth a shot) * Onyewu/Ream Reply • Back to Top |
| I still like Shea as a super sub so much better, his first 30 minutes are always much better than the remainder of the game, why not use that with tired defensive backs? Reply • Back to Top |
| Beckerman is having a stellar season for RSL. Coupled with the fact that he's a Jurgen favorite, he'll probably get a call. Reply • Back to Top |

| Especially considering how tired Shea always seems.. 5 games in that many days if he's starting will see him next to useless towards the end.. Not tryin to knock the guy I just think he needs to work on his endurance before he's as useful as he can be for us Reply • Back to Top |
quote: Brazil is one of five games we're playing. We have to remember that we're preparing for the Central American teams of CONCACAF. The ugly but effective Beckermans (see: Mastroeni, Casey etc.) of the world will always have a spot in US teams for the foreseeable future. Reply • Back to Top |

| I was going to say Toll Lenhart, but until he gets a cap, he's the greatest "what if" in US Soccer history. Reply • Back to Top |
quote:  The Lenhart/Wondo pairing has the quakes near the top of the table. Lenhart might have some kind of contribution if he continues this good run of form. I can't possibly see how he could be any worse than Connor Casey a couple of years ago. He actually seems like he has way more talent even though he's never put up Casey numbers. Reply • Back to Top |
quote: He's more Nate Jaqua than Conor Casey. If you're to bring in a big guy that wants to play all over the field, you may as well call in Cooper. He's more skilled than Lenhart is. At least Lenhart is WILLING to get in the middle and mix it up.... I'd say he's 60% Jaqua/40% Casey. Cooper is more like 90%/10%. Casey was just a big Neanderthal. There's definitely a place for "Neanderthal", but I don't know if Klinsmann would build that in or not. Reply • Back to Top • Refresh |
