Really? I always thought of him as underrated. He just needs a shot to prove himself.



I saw Guzan live while he was on loan at Hull City. He's a commanding presence and a good shot stopper. He's not great off his line with crosses and free kicks, but still the definite backup to Howard.

It's still Guzan for now. Hamid has a ton of potential. Still not sold on Johnson from what I've seen of him.

Hamid is fricking awful at crosses and free kicks, as well. Hamid's ability to stop the cross is what helped cause the US to lose out on OLY quals. He didn't punch out a few of the Canadian crosses that turned into goals.

I agree. Our second right now HAS to be Guzan. I don't think Hamid or Johnson are ready, yet.
