re: USMNT WCQ Squad Selection Discussion (UPDATE: DONOVAN/SHEA OUT FOR BOTH MATCHES)

the truth about Jozy isn't he hasn't played well for the national team in a while. Maybe that's because of JK, JK's system, his lack of consistent starts, etc. He had the one nice layoff for Dempsey in the Italy game. I'm struggling to remember other good moments and can't think of one good overall performance lately. Against Jamaica in the first leg when he got the start he was absolutely listless - in the second game he came in late and tried a number of stupid tricks that went nowhere.

If you have to choose one striker and your options are Herc or Jozy, and your main criteria is national team form, not club team form or potential, then I don't think it's a very tough decision.

Not saying that he shouldn't be called up fwiw.

Outside of the strikers I don't think the roster's that bad. Am I leaving off any obvious snubs: Jozy, Boyd, Lichaj, Torres?

I actually wouldn't mind Beasley getting a call up.
