Going to guess Roldan heads home for Bradley.

Wonder who gets sent home between Morris and Agudelo...

Was hoping Bruce wasn't trying to go the whole way with this piss lineup.

Would like to see Nagbe get added too.

Squad is really missing someone who can move with the ball in the midfield.

Well he didn't take any true 10s except maybe Rowe, and he hasn't really played a formation that has a ten anyway. Would have been cool to see Feilhaber or Kljestan.

I'm surprised we haven't seen Dempsey's name mentioned. We need more creativity and finishing up front, plus he's going to break the scoring record so might as well do it in this tournament to ensure he gets it on US soil.

Jozy Altidore, Michael Bradley, Tim Howard, Darlington Nagbe, Clint Dempsey, and Jesse Gonzalez are being called up for the knockout rounds.

All good additions, and it'll be nice for Jesse Gonzalez to get some time training with the senior national team. A taste of what's to come for him if he keeps working hard and meets his potential.

I don't understand what Bruce is doing with the goalkeepers. We have Guzan, Hamid, and Johnson, but so far through a friendly and the two group games, he has only played Guzan. Why not give Hamid or Johnson a shot? Now we bring up Howard and Gonzalez? I'm cool with Gonzalez, even if he doesn't play just to get some practice time in and fit into a camp, but why Howard? We know Howard is our #1 for 2018, let one of the young guys get a chance.

Probably sending Guzan to Atlanta, since Kann is out for a while.

Id argue that corona and to a lesser extent agudelo were de facto 10s in the 442.

I think Saief was brought in to fill that role. Corona was given another chance and shite the bed.

It doesn't help that he's been starved of service.

So those guys are only brought in to start games right (aside from the 2 goalies obviously)? Who ends up on the chopping block for the 2 forwards and 2 midfielders?

You think he's on the chopping block to go home after the game today?

Yes. Bruce just said so in the post game press conference.
