re: IYO, Are Americans as individual players underrated by the Football World?

Skillfully they are rated correctly, but the US team is always very blue collar. Often work harder than they're opponents and that makes up for a lot

If you mean that almost all of them were considered by many USMNT fans huge immediate upgrades and only Jones, to my mind, is much more than a "promising player I'm glad to have in the mix" then I would agree.

i'm curious what happens with bradley, too. i think he could be a good budget buy for a big club. you can't tell me that he wouldn't play a good deal at Man U, for instance
I love Bradley and think he's a very good player.
However, for Roma to arrive at the qualitative level of the few clubs "bigger" than they are, Bradley being replaced by a more elite midfielder and assuming more of a sub role is one of the more common ways you hear experts thinking the lineup could be improved.

i am no expert, but fabian johsnon has not looked good at all for the USNT.
terrance boyd is still somewhat young, so his potential hasn't been reached, but some posters make him out to be the next zlatan
i like chandler, but he's an "all potential" guy at this point and is just really big/fast. i don't know if he has established himself at RB or RW at this point in time. people have cooled on him, but people have pimped him hardcore

Fabian Johnson has looked fine and is definitely an upgrade when played at left back.
Terrence Boyd benefits from being the next promising young attacking player and from his attitude towards playing for the US, including giving an interview to thenry.
Chandler has looked good previously but won't get his arse into camp. Not an upgrade but good player to have for the future (basically now).

Don't know about FIFA 13, but Stu Holden grows to mid 80s in FIFA 12.

It used to be this way, but I don't think it is anymore. I just don't see the same fight that we used to have.
