Fabian Johnson is ready for his next callup:

"Of course I want back in. I told [Berhalter] that I am ready for the national team. I'm looking forward to coming in, but I never got invited."


frick it, he's probably still our best available LB.

He doesnt play in the world elite MLS.

Why would we call up a player from a bottom feeder league like bundesliga.

Funny thing about Lovitz is that he wasn't even the best MLS LB on the roster with Lima on there

What's sad is that Gregg and Fab were once teammates.

Didn't he say he only wanted to play in big matches now? It's been a loooooong time since we've had one of those

Definitely should be called up. God knows he’s better than fricking Lovitz. Anyone know if he’s actually getting playing time? Pville?

According to transfermarkt, he's been out with hamstring issues for the last month which makes this quote odd.

He’s over 30 and we know what he is.

And neither of them make a dent in world football

No European team gives a shite if you play Lovitz or Johnson

What exactly is your point here?

Are you arguing that the better player shouldn't play because neither "make a dent"?

My point is the better player among shite players is irrelevant

If the USMNT needs a complete overhaul why are we bitching about 31 and 28 year olds

You rate Fabian Johnson among elite European teams?

He’s a bit player on an average German team

If that's the standard we're holding the players to, then we'll never be able to field a team.


Like I said, sit this one out.

You can tell me to sit this one out all you like

Doesn’t change anything.

You are wrong.

I'm wrong that I rate Fab over Lovitz?


Don't besmirch the great name of Mark Hoppus by posting idiocy.

I just said who cares

What is playing either going to do

The talent needs an upgrade

The Russian NT is miles better than the US team right now and I was called an idiot years ago for saying that. But results prove it.

So lets start by playing the best player available at each position to set the standard for the future players to push out.
