Keegan got released back to us, but it's pretty awesome we got 2 Union guys on the roster with Bedoya and Pontius

I am excited to see what back line setup we go with as far as personnel. I would imagine Birnbaum and Evans, and probably Beasley. Zusi is listed as a defender as well. This is my first time seeing him listed as such since I have picked up watching soccer (World Cup '14 is when I started paying heavy attention to the USMNT).

First time he's been a RB for the USMNT, but he played there a bit last year for SKC.

Realistically, he's not someone we'd want at RM/RW anymore.

Kinda sad that Rosenberry got sent home instead of Zusi. Zusi can't be in WC plans but Rosenberry should be given a shot. :-/

I legit thought Dad was a reference to Beaz because he pretty much could be a lot of the other players' dad.

Nope, autocorrect snagged me.

And I agree with you, oauron. I think Zusi and Beckerdreads need to start seeing a lot less time and the youngsters need to start getting broken in.

Practice well and you won't get sent home.

Saw some reporters suggest that Bruce didn't think he was ready yet.

It's his first year as a pro. Give him some time.

I never said he sucked and shouldn't get another chance.

So what formation do we see tomorrow? Doesn't Arena run a 4-4-2? My knowledge of managers' preferred tactics isn't that well developed yet...
