Well I know Gordon could help us with his toughness and may score a header, but I think Agudelo would have been a better choice.

That said, maybe Gordon has some qualities I'm overlooking.

inb4swagudelogotrobbed.... People forget Swagudelo can disappear quite often, but always has a moment of brilliance that suddenly appears. Gordon sure is less talented, but you know he will hustle to whatever he is supposed to do. I'm okay with that pick.

Not sure what the point of bringing in Corona is.

Corona will play on one side of the diamond.

If he replaces Chandler at RB with Johnson and puts Beasley at LB, I guess it makes sense.

No matter how hard Beasley tries to retire from international soccer, he will continue to be brought in, and I love it.

Beasley in?

Now Fabian Johnson is going to the mid field.

Gordon never stops running. He's got a very high work rate defensively, and as mentioned already he's a tall dude that can win a header in the box.

Between Zardes, Deuce, Bacon, and Wondo I don't expect Gordon to actually play unless we need a goal to equalize in the 80th minute or later

I'm hoping Beasley coming in means Fab plays left wing.

The diamond has looked horrible each game. He'll put stuck on the left side and look like shite trying to play left mid and center mid at the same time -- same as Morales.

I'm upset besler wasn't included, though not as upset as I am that Alvarado and Chandler are still on the roster. I wish garza could have stuck around as well.

Good. Beasley is a great vet...and Corona has shown some flashes of solid wing play in the mid.

Gordon in

Dumb.

Altidore

Hasn't been playing well...so I'm ok with it.

Garza and Morales out


Both officially cap-tied now..which was the main point of them being here.

I hope the only reason Jozy is getting sent back is because he's not fully recovered...

Id rather it mean Chandler off and Fabs/Yedlin on the right.

But we all know that wont happen.

It really is baffling that chandler is still playing. Plenty of people can play at LM and allow FJ to play RM or him play RB with yedlin at RM.

Why is no one pissed that Jozy is going home and Wondo is staying? I know Jozy hasn't been good, but shite.
