That would be catastrophic.

I'd like to see Guazan play farther up the field than Howard

i like this lineup because it allows Zusi to send crosses in the box, Landy can hang around in the middle and make some runs, putting Dempsey on the left allows Johnson to push up since dempsey likes to push in. Besler has the speed to cover for johnson occassionly and Brooks is one of our most talented players


Congratulations, you're an idiot.

And yeah uway, take your smartass comment elsewhere because I never advocated benching Landon.


Never?
Considering that you back just about everything JK does, I doubt that.

No offense, but that lineup would be a disaster.

Looks like JAB will only be around for Costa Rica.

I like posting the ASN rankings with the roster. These rankings just came out today I believe
quote:

FWDs
Jozy (3)
Dempsey (2)
Donovan (4)
JOHANNSON (17)
E. Johnson (13)
Average rank: 7.8

MID

Beckerman (24)
Bedoya (31)
Bradley (1)
Mix (19)
FAbian (5)
jones (7)
Zusi (6)

Average rank: 13.3
DEF

BEasley(16)
Besler (9)
Brooks (30)
Cameron (11)
Castillo (28)
Evans (29)
Gonzo (12)
Orozco (62)

Average rank: 26.3

GK

Guzan (10)
Howard (8)
Rimando (27)
Average Rank: 15

Other interesting things: We're bringing our top 5 healthy strikers according to asn, 6 of our top 7 midfielders (excluding deuce and donovan since they are forwards on the roster), and our top 3 goalies. On defense we're bringing 5 of our top 8 healthy defenders.

TL;DR it would be hard for us to bring a team much better than this

Interdasting article posted on SBI


quote:

“(DaMarcus) Beasley is set in the left back role and Fabian is set in the left winger role for right now,” said Klinsmann. “It’s good to know he can play (there), even on the other side he can play right wing and right back, and that gives us always some options to pull if needed. Right now, we see him very, very strong on the left wing, in midfield, and Beasley behind him.”


Klins is a real douche to Lichaj...
quote:

“We follow him, we see that he’s playing on a regular basis for Nottingham Forest and he’s in our picture,” said Klinsmann. “But now going into Costa Rica in World Cup qualifying, it would be not the right call for him because he hasn’t been with us yet during my time and now is not that time to kind of experiment and see another face real quick. But we observe him, we watch him, we know that he’s back in a swing.”

Hey jurgen, that's why you bring him in against bosnia and let him really gel in these two games

This is the best thing I have seen on this board in a while.

On a serious note, I like Zusi at RW. You guys are forgetting that he links up well with Jozy. That is a critical connection we cannot lose.

Jozy
Dempsey Landy Zusi
Jones Bradley
Fab Besler JAB/Gonzo Evans
Howard

Top subs:
Bacon
Cameron (quell a carded Jones or shore up the back line)
Maybe Beasley or GAM

Evans injured his calf in his last sounders and didn't travel with the U.S. team to Miami. Look like Cameron will start at RB unless klins decides to call in a replacement. Not holding out for Lichaj or chandler though

frick.


If anyone gets called in, it will be Parkhurst. When this roster first came out, Jurgen mentioned that he was one of the tough cuts.

Sigh......

I would take Evans or Parkhurst over Chandler at this point.

And that's not me being an apologist, that's me believing that Chandler doesn't give a shite about the USMNT and gives minimum effort because of that.
