I haven't seen Corona do anything that someone else couldn't do, but I think he has a shot to make it. I've seen Mix hit some nice shots from outside the 18 against a packed box and also make some creative plays few in our pool could make. He has something we're lacking in a lot of our players.

Hell no. Mix is the shite and his hair is beautiful.

let him play on the wing like he does in germany, its def his natural position and he tears it up out there every week. We are lucky he is versatile and can cover up for a whole we have on the back line.

We need to look at where he helps our team the most. Playing him at LB instead of Beasley greatly improves our team. That also allows both Donovan and Zusi to be in the game. Zusi is an adequate defender for the times when Fab pushes forward.

He's logged significant minutes at left and right back for Hoffenheim.

Winger may be his natural position but we can't roll Beasley out against the teams in our group.

RT @JeffreyCarlisle: Hmm. Klinsmann says he sees Landon Donovan as a striker and not a midfielder. #usmnt


Well, we might as well get used to the fact that Donovan won't be starting.

I'd take Shea over Corona. That's how much I don't like Corona...

If we got 4-4-2 it could be Jozy-Landy.

I can't imagine putting Deuce as a forward and putting Zusi and Bedoya as the wingers. Unless he sees Johnson as winger, in which case Beasley plays left back, in which case I fricking kill myself.

Well you would be fired quickly. Brek is too busy with his art to worry about little things like soccer. Corona can play.

Such a big honor to belong to the 30 best players of the United States of America! #humbled #cyclopsisready

Guaranteed Boyd makes Brazil just cause he has the most boss celebration ever.

From here on out I will refer to Boyd as cyclopes.

Best guess bubble:

Brad Evans
Brad Davis
Bedoya/Corona
Gonzalez/Goodson/Brooks (one is cut)
Edu/Beckerman
Yedlin/Parkhurst
Boyd/Wondolowski

Is it possible we see a starting lineup of:

Howard
Chandler/Besler/Cameron/Johnson
Zusi/Bradley/Jones/Donovan
Dempsey/Altidore

That looks almost sexy.

Wow, that roster looks bad compared to what we'll be facing in Brazil. We can't compete with anyone in our Group besides Ghana. Gonna get mauled by Ronaldo, Ozil, and Gyan. America only cares about football, basketball, and baseball. But ironically don't give a shite about the most popular sport.. smh
