- 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.

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

- Dempsey looked better.

Much better. I think it also has a lot to do with...

quote:
- Bradley is a goddamned terror.

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

quote:
- Brad Davis is not a full international player, and it showed.

He looked nervous to me which is not what you want from a guy in Brazil

quote:
- Beltran and Parkhurst were surprisingly capable.

I was pleased with Parkhurst overall. Beltran had some good runs forward but made me nervous in the back

quote:
- 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.

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.
