Very good point.
True.
I mean, it's not like the US has a young, athletic full back playing in the EPL, or a wildly talented forward leading the Eredivisie in scoring at 23. Players like that don't grow on trees.
We HAVE to call in Michael Parkhurst and Alan Gordon.
Give me a fricking break.

We should never have had to resort to playing Carlos at LB. That falls on Klinsmann.
Lichaj was getting looks (ie that game against Poland) under BB while getting less playing time in the EPL than he currently does. How did he perform? Very well, actually. I'm sure his speed could have helped us against A&B (I don't think they would have scored). Also, he makes good runs forward.

Are you like this in real life?
You have to admit that not having Landon has been a drag on the team's performance and outside of JK's control.
With Landon and MB, we don't lose to Jamaica. Would Lichaj have made the difference in that match? Maybe.
Jozy started that match, played 70 minutes and didn't make any difference. Granted, he didn't get any service, and that's because our midfield sucked. Gomez and Dempsey still found a way to make an impact.

Lichaj is the one inexplicable snub IMO.

Jozy has played plenty for JK and done basically nothing. He will play again. JK left him out of this selection, after Jozy played like crap the time before and then went on Twitter and called JK incompetent. It's been explained a hundred times, and you're still acting like you're breaking news talking about it.

Altidore: 5 appearances in 2012, 1 assist, 0 goals
Gordon: 27 minutes in 2012, 1 assist, 0 goals
Funny that you're still hating on the decision to call him in after that game. As if he was the reason we struggled, and as if Jozy would have made all the difference.
By the way, we're leading the group. Without Landon for 3 matches, without MB for 2 matches, without Bob ball, without Bornstein. It's not all bad.
