Two different kinds of players, IMO.


I think we've had this conversation before and fair enough. I'll agree with you to an extent. I think when you look at the U- squads, he is one of the faster players. You might be right when looking at the full USMNT.

Beasley was Puebla's best player last year. I THINK he was actually voted by his teammates as player of the year for them ? I maybe mistaking, though.

He was. I think Gomez even tweeted about it.

Adu is not fast. He is quick and can be deadly given space but he is slow and it can be very easy to knock him off the ball.

Nothing new, that's what he's been trying to cope with since he turned pro. Coaches dont trust him enough to give him "the keys to the offense" but he doesn't play well enough defensively to put him in the midfield or out wide. That's always been his problem

Does this warrant a call up?

Does being a good MLS player warrant a call up ? I.e. Wondo/Beckerman/Feilhaber.

I mean we aren't that deep.

So I really do want to see Boyd called up but how funny would it be if he didn't? After he announced it in twitter and all

I agree with everything you said. Like I said he gets pushed off the ball a lot. He has progressed. The only thing we haven't agree'd upon is speed. He is no Walcott, tho.

Looks like wondo will get a call up according to Ives. Think we stick with Dempsey Boyd and wondo up top? Would we call in another forward?

I'll update when we get the roster today.

Hopefully, we can get this stickied to save questions.

Can one of the folks who know the Londoner people see if they are going to get the Guate PPV?

Wondo will probably threaten JK. Like he did Henry, if he isn't called up.

Did Wondo have something to do with Henry being out for weeks?

Josh Gatt just scored. 1-0 Molde. The dude has been looking good for awhile now.

Parkhurst started at LB today. If they win next week. They win the Danish title and they'll be in Champions League groups.

Also, Onyewu has 32 Apps this season. FREAKING BIG TIME.

I haven't seen that. I don't know how I feel about that, at all.


I just read that Onyewu played a full 90 and then played the last 8 minutes as a FW ? WTF ?

I think we will find out how good Boyd is. Not that Jozy is old or anything (risk of retiring is n/a) I'd still like to see how the squad plays without him. Id really like to see herc get a chance too. When are they announcing? I hate waiting. Should be soon

It's nuts that Jozy and Adu are both only 22. They've gotten so much playing time.

Jozy has had a helluva season with AZ. I'd be completely shocked if he isn't called up. It's the best season he has ever had AND it's World Cup Qualifying.

The only thing I can think of is that AZ doesn't want him to play, or his head injury, but he has played since then.
