I realize he's not playing in Bundesliga VII or NASL, so he might not be good enough - but he's been great in the playoffs for New England and has had a decent second half of the season.

And our forwards are horseshite right now, so there's that.

Discuss.

I don't think he does, but he's earned it. I haven't watched him other than highlights...is his pace back at all? He looks a little heavy.

The better question is if El Chosen Juan gets a call up.

80 - 90% max. He looks far quicker than he did during his spell with DCU, though. I don't think he's going to get "back", speed wise.

He's heavy like Landon was pre-WC.

I don't know, Sheep.

You seem to know a lot more about soccer than Jurgen Klinsmann. Shoud he be called up?

This topic does piss me off.

If the driver of that car wasn't a drunken idiot, and CD9 had better common sense than to not call a cab, he would be fresh off of his 2nd World Cup right now.

It's camp cupcake so everyone gets a call up. So yes, Charlie gets a call up.

I think he should be called up. I'm not necessarily a Jozy hater but he's been absolute garbage for club and country recently.

Depends. Is this a primarily NA or European squad?

January is almost exclusively MLS and Scandinavian league players. Those are leagues that don't have games in January. Not sure about the Mexican league players.

Then I imagine AJ will be one of the forwards called up.

Jozy Altidore and Charlie Davies were such an awesome striker pairing. I miss that so much.

We had our striker pairing set up for the forseeable future because they complimented each other so well.

That was the most excitement I ever felt being a US fan. It seemed like everything was coming together for us.

All of this. I still get depressed when I think about it. Our forward tandem was the perfect combo of size, speed, and swag.
