GK(3): Howard, Guzan, Rimando


There will be a 4th I would guess in case there is an injury to one of these 3

quote:

D (9): Cameron, Gonzales, Besler, Beasley, Goodson, Evans, Yedlin, Parkhurst, Brooks


Yedlin has upside but to me he REALLY needs to do something big and fast in order to garner serious consideration. His lack of minutes with the first team hurts him big time. And to me, it's still up in the air for Kilinsy between Brooks and Gooch

quote:

M (11): Donovan, Zusi, Bradley, Jones, Beckerman, Fab Johnson, Bedoya, Mix, Kljestan, Davis, Edu


Edu and Danny Williams are interchangeable here and both questionable for consideration. I still think Shea makes the 30 like it or not

quote:

F (7): Altidore, Dempsey, Johannson, Green, GAM, Boyd, Wondo


I really dont see the point of bringing in Boyd at all

Looking back at the last 2 world cups, we've never brought in a 4th GK to the prelim camp.

It's just pointless to waste a spot on a 4th GK (a player that would almost assuredly never play a second) when you can use that spot for a field player that has a chance to make the final 23.

Most likely neither of these will make the trip to Brazil regardless. It would be utterly pointless, at least in my eyes, to bring Gooch in over a young, POTENTIAL (I use that word because I know it's only a chance) multi-WC starter. Brooks needs reps with the national team. He seems like he's in very good form at the moment, as well. Even if it's only a couple weeks, learning experiences like this cannot ever be overlooked. Even if it's just watching the likes of Bradley, Clint, Landy, and Timmy prepare for a World Cup.

Shea will be at camp, for sure. Hopefully he gives away Left Foot Studio "Brek Yo Self" shirts to everyone at camp. Seriously, if you haven't checked out leftfootstudio.com, I highly suggest it. There's a watch called "Deuce"...that's all I'll say about it.

You bite your tongue!! His patriotism rivals that of Thomas Jefferson and George Washington. He'll be there to show Green what 'Merican pride is all about
