A few random points:
- If Omar starts all three games, we're all but guaranteed to go 3 and out. (We might be 3 and out anyway, but still...) He's the same ball-watching, bad giveaway Omar that he was in 2010. Jurgen would be will served to reach out to anybody who has, can or will play CB for the US.
- Dempsey looked better.
- Donovan looked worse.
- Bradley is a goddamned terror.
- Brad Davis is not a full international player, and it showed.
- Beltran and Parkhurst were surprisingly capable.
- Green looked like an 18 year old, trying to play above his level. If the plan is to have him play minutes in Brazil, he really needs to be on the field with the actual Bayern Munich in the next month. You could see flashes of skill, though.
- Yedlin looked really good, but it's hard to get a read on 20 minutes of an outside back in a game that's that wide open.
- Though his athleticism gap shows as the talent level rises, I think Wondo might have to go to Brazil. If we need a goal in the last 15 minutes, I'd rather him coming off the bench than a Terrence Boyd type.

Agree with all of that, Sheep. And yeah we need a CB. Goodson won't cut it in place of Omar. Cameron hasn't played there enough.
How's Jay Denerit looking these days? What position does Orozco play now?

I don't think it's as big of a deal that Green plays at Bayern this year. I think it's a bigger deal that he gets into more USA camps though. A debut against Mexico in a packed house is bound to cause some nerves. I don't think he's ready to start but Brek Shea is terrible. If Shea is the guy he needs to beat out, all he may need is a little time.

Wondo is like the Chris Carter of USA Soccer....all he does is score goals.

I only got to watch the first half (brilliant start time) and read about the 2nd half but here goes:
He has seemed to regress lately. Besler is a lock. As to who plays next to him is anyone's guess. I think Goodson has looked solid in his last few appearances and is worth a look. I would rather keep Cameron at RB
Much better. I think it also has a lot to do with...
Night and day when is on the field. He bossed the 1st half.
And I will also say this: I have given Beckerman his fair share of stink but still say he has a spot on this team for killing off games in the end. But if we want to roll out a diamond midfield at the WC, his positional discipline will allow Bradley to get forward a lot more and that looked promising last night. We might need to tie a rope to Jones to Besler if we roll the diamond with him in the back
He looked nervous to me which is not what you want from a guy in Brazil
I was pleased with Parkhurst overall. Beltran had some good runs forward but made me nervous in the back
Wondo is definitely ahead of Boyd. He is a pure poacher and at the end of a game sometimes that's what you need. It will be a numbers game though. With Green supposedly promised a spot, it might come down to Wondo and GAM. A numbers game at this point. And Jurgy likes to play GAM out wide which helps his case.
