re: Official USMNT/USWNT Thread

It does make you wonder if their will be some hard feelings for certain American players who get passed over for a Guy who has never set foot in the USA. Doesn't bother me but I can it bothering some players.

I think it would bother some players that RICARDO FRICKIN CLARK is still getting called up

I can understand his frustration... But Ricardo Clark? Really?

re: Official USMNT/USWNT Thread

I think Klinsmann is trying to do Clark a favor and get him a new club deal. He is not playing for his club and is on the way out.

Omar Gonzalez tore his ACL during his FIRST training session with Nuremberg of the Bundesliga. The result was from a collision with none other then fellow American international Timmy Chandler

With all due respect to Ricardo Clark, playing is probably a bad idea if he wants a new club to sign him.

Actually, **** respect to Ricardo Clark. I hate him with a passion of a thousand suns. I hope every team in the world realizes what a steaming hot pile of garbage he is and never signs him to play professional football ever again.

Love that roster. Starting to see some consistency. I think something like 21-22 have been in last three camps. I also like that Isaac Acuna was added. Talented player that we are competing with Mexico to get a CAP.

From everything I've ready, Porter is going to play a modified 4-3-3 with Okugo dropping back in a CDM role.

McMath

Valentin -- Boss -- Wenger -- Villafana

Corona -- Okugo -- Mix

Gatt -- McInerney -- Adu

I like that group alot. You also have the potential to add several USMNT players in for the Olympics (i.e. Shea, Chandler, Fabian Johnson). You could also see 1-2 older guys that don't meet the U-23 status fill in for leadership reasons. Any ideas? I'd love someone like Michael Bradley that hasn't gotten a lot of time for Klinsi or even Jozy to get a run.

re: Official USMNT/USWNT Thread

why is Adu still not on the primary team roster? when he played against Mexico (can't remember if it was the gold cup or the friendly) i thought he was one of the best players on the field for USA, and since then it seems like he has disappeared off the face of the planet?

[Eton Rifles]

re: Official USMNT/USWNT Thread

cubs, I think that is Klinsmann's way of telling Adu he needs to be playing consistently at a good club. jt is right, you could see some very good players added if they make the Olympics but remember that clubs are not obliged to let players go for Olympic Qualifiers.

re: Official USMNT/USWNT Thread

Bradley is drawing praise and starting every match for Chievo. Is it time for him to be back in the top 2-4 US CMFs?

Who else do we have playing at such a high level (league/competition-wise)? Jones at Schalke?

Believe me, I am all about seeing other and/or new talent.

If Bradley continues, and heads to a bigger club (interest from Roma?), and performs admirably (whatever that might mean for an American CMFer), will Klinsmaan make him a top choice?

I have to admit, my dislike for Bob Bradley's tactics was not a reflection of his son. I am no expert, far from it... but I always thought MB's "edge" and motor was good for the team. He reminded me of McBride in midfield, in that you felt they were gonna go as hard as possible until the 90th minute. His tenacity was a boon in the draw against Slovenia in South AFrica...had a near miss and then the equalizer.
