Really hoping he pans out.


I think that it's a given that he'll have a solid career, barring injury. May not ever be a world beater, but I would be shocked if he didn't have a successful career.

Interesting roster.

There is no real #9 on the roster, as Wondo, Dempsey and Johnson all play withdrawn or drift wide to find the ball - both for club and country.

I imagine we'll see a lot of the old 4-6-0 in this one.

GAM is the closest thing to a #9 that we have, which is why I think he starts up top.

I usually agree with you on USMNT stuff, but I would be shocked if Evans does not go to Brazil. I like him, and i think he should be our second RB.

Don't get me wrong, Evans has the leg up, but Yedlin will definitely push him. He could be the Edson Buddle to Evans' Brian Ching.

I mean, there is a better chance that he will be there than not, but I don't really think that it would be a shocking omission. He was serviceable in WCQ, but he has looked pretty bad in his appearances since.

In other news, I think this will be the first time that Bradley, Donovan and Dempsey play together since 2012...

Let that sink in for a moment.

I wonder how long it's been since Bradley, Dempsey, Donovan, and Altidore have played together. I'm not sure how to look that information up but it would be interesting to see considering those 4 gentlemen will almost certainly be in our starting XI for Brazil.

My guess would be back in 2012 when our WCQ cycle began, because after that initial stretch of games against Antigua & Guatemala, Landy went on his sabbatical. All four were called into camp back in September for the WCQ's at Costa Rica and Mexico, but then Bradley sprained his ankle in warm ups.

Surprised @ no Benny Feilhaber. He has been the best player for SKC so far this season if you ask me. I think there's still a chance he gets called into the May camp.

I think he has a better chance of making the roster than Wondow and GAM. Give him the start and let's see what he can do.



GAM no, wondo maybe
