I'm surprised Goodson isn't on there. Unless he is injured that is. I thought he played well in the Gold Cup.

Looks like a pretty solid roster. I doubt the US has ever had the quality and depth of forwards as this group. I'm really enjoying watching this team play the last few months.

 

[horshack.sixpack]

Gotta be the most guys playing in non-US leagues ever. That is a good sign.

Brooks and Johannsson must have made solid impressions in the last camp. I would think Brooks being there is why Goodson is not andJohannsson being there is why Gonzalez is not. Both were quite active in the last game which is a good sign for our depth.

I'm assuming you mean Gomez? Yea I feel like he has been pushed out. Johannsson looked really good against Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Anyone belong to the American Outlaws? I would like to join but nearest chapters are Jax and Mobile and I don't know that I could make the trip each time the USMNT played. I would not mind joining if I did not have to attend every event.

Find 24 other people

in Starkville and start your own chapter. It couldn't be that hard. Hell, i'm sure if you started a FB group you could find 24 other's in about a day or two.

You know, that's not what stuck out at me the first time I looked at it.

I realize Americans haven't been good enough to play at a high level somewhere else so they've been MLS guys by default but the fact that all of our best players minus Altidore and Bradley are on MLS teams (albeit the same like 3 teams) says a lot about the popularity of soccer here. Dempsey and a couple of guys have the ability to play overseas. Now if the MLS can make teams not named Sounders, Galaxy, and Real Salt Lake become good... Look out.
