Did he frick Gregg's wife? This is insane.

Rumors are that he was somehow involved in Weston's misadventures. Wes' father stated that other players we involved. Meg Swanick who is a reporter that followed the National team stated that she heard this rumor.

Anything on Scally?

Also wondering if Chris Richards or someone else young but talented will get a call up to make the squad.

While we have looked good defensively (mostly) without Brooks, he's surely one of our best CBs and should be automatic on a roster. You would also think the fact that he's played in world cup before would be big for such a young team.

Don't worry about it bruh. Gregg will make a great behind the back pass to :insertrightorleftback: taking a throw-in and you'll forget about JAB.

Berhalter didn’t say with certainty whether the 2014 World Cup player and Bundesliga mainstay would return to the squad after a long absence. But he did say: “I would rather look at a guy like [Carter-Vickers] to see what he can do because I know what John can do.”

This is the dooming of Brooks. GGG could of said this line about any of the other center backs.

Center back call sheet for June. M. Robinson, W. Zimmerman, C. Richardson(If Healthy), CCV, A. Long

"Berhalter requested early releases from MLS for players to prepare for the June 1 match, but he said there has been “some pushback” from individual teams. He would not reveal the resistant clubs. Such players would miss one MLS match."

has to be a bounce pass

The way Gregg has handled the Brooks thing publicly has been all wrong. When he originally left him off that first WCQ camp roster, he should've never offered up that he could be called back in for Nations League, because now the outrage resets when he says something like he did in the WaPo article.

With that said, Brooks has been dreadful for both club & country over the last calendar year. I think he deserves a fair shot to get back into the roster, but I'm no longer sure if he is one of our four best CB's.

speculation that the Dual Nat is also a Striker.

Rumors are that it’s Malik Tillman

I would probably put him at 4th, but because our fullbacks push up so high we end up leaving our CBs on an island and Brooks is slow af. That’s good for a goal a game and I don’t think we can afford that risk with our scoring struggles. I still think he should be in camp though and I’m really puzzled as to the real reason for his exclusion.

---

It's annoying that he never fully realized his potential, because I think of the Paraguay match in Copa America 2016 and even the Honduras Nations League semifinal last year, he was the best player on the pitch.

He's still just SOOOOOO inconsistent even for as long as he has been playing. You really have no idea day in and day out if he is going to win or lose the match. If he was in the 19-23 year old range, it'd be worth it, but at this point, we just have to accept that this is who he is and decide if that merits a ticket to Qatar.

I think Zimmerman, M. Robinson and Richards are all locks if they are healthy. That 4th CB spot can literally go to anyone who is in the best form by November (Brooks, Long, McKenzie, CCV, Che, Sands, some frick)
