Jones plays 90 just about every game for Blackburn, he's better than Bradley right now.

I think Bradley will get his minutes soon enough. When playing for the US team,Bradley has certainly been better lately.

I think Jozy will be markedly better. Target forwards don't really blossom until at the earliest 26 (generally). Jozy will only be 24 at the 2014 Cup...meaning I don't think we'll need Dempsey up top.

I hope you're right, because he was almost non-existent in the last game.

Not really. Jones didn't get a chance to play in the 4-4-2 against Argentina. He's also still acclimating to the team.

When he came in the second half last night he completely changed the dynamic of the midfield. Outside of Bradley's volley there's hardly anything he did to distance himself from Jones.

I like Bradley, I'm not bashing him at all.

But from a pure talent standpoint, Jones is the better player right now.

I'm not so sure. The only thing I definitely think Jones definitely has is experience. And in any case, he's so old it doesn't really matter. I'd rather play young guys, at least after this Gold Cup.

We'll just agree to disagree, but really it doesn't matter. Holden (Our best CM, IMO) is out for the Gold Cup. Bradley and Jones will be starting along side each other this summer.

Do you think Jones should be playing in the 2014 world cup? I just don't see it working out.

It's too far out to predict, but I would probably say no.

But none of my posts are about 2014, they are about right now.

DaMarcus Beasley will only be 32 then.
