Jon Klinsmann, Zelalem, Carter-Vickers, Landon Donovan. That's in order of talent, of course.

Seriously, though, it's wide open. I see Zelalem and Carter-Vickers developing well, though. I have a want for that to happen.

Extremely small chance.

Heck, Gooch has only played 1 game for Sunderland and didn't even make our U20 WC roster. I'm not saying he's bad, just that he has less than 3 years to make up a lot of ground.

I could be wrong, but wasn't he injured around that time.

Pusilic is my favorite. I have no idea about which ones will make the national team.

I am assuming Ben Lederman will replace Michael Bradley and Feilhaber will score 100 goals in an MLS season and still not make the USMNT.

I really don't know. I read an article about him the other day and he made it sound like he wasn't. Said he was disappointed that he played throughout the cycle, but didn't make the final roster.

Feilhaber's a pretty solid guy to have in the youth pipeline. He's a bit younger, but that Wayne Rooney guy is going to play a role in England's national side, too.

I think Rubin has a decent chance actually. He's already gotten a cap and it's not as if we are super stacked at forward. Hyndman I'm predicting will be there, so long as he has a decent club situation for the next few years. CCV seems unlikely just on the basis of his age, but he's been extremely solid in his performances and is very mature for his age.

As far as forwards go, I'm looking at Altidore, Johannsson, Dempsey(?) and Boyd as long as those four stay healthy. After those four, there's just a ton of guys with no one really standing out as of now (Agudelo, Rubin, Tall, Novakovich, Zardes, Wood, Wooten, etc.)

He has to be in that second group with the others at this point until he turns pro and produces at the club level.

I would say Morris is as good a bet as any. I don't think we can rely on Clint to be there, and Boyd hasn't done anything in the last year because of his injury, so that case is very much "wait and see."

I have a hard time penciling him in until he turns pro.

Completely agree.

He should be back soon.

He may be a year or two off from substantial first-team action at Arsenal, but he's now getting the requisite time at Rangers. He is absolutely a lock, barring injury.

For a 6-month spell, three years out from the WC, and people are already raving about him being the best midfielder there, just as Arsenal players have been raving about him as the best prospect in the system since he got to London. He is likely the most naturally talented midfield prospect to pass through the ranks in USMNT history, and probably made the decision to play for the US so he could participate in one more WC cycle than with Germany. He's a lock.
