I got an email on the 23rd. from the support club with the attachment you posted.
I think it's a very good selection.
Kilnsmann is looking for a young team with experience especially in the middle.
Missing is Shea. Coach had him playing in defense...which he executed quite well.
USAF, I am still trying to get to like Timmy Chandler in defence....I just don't know.
Also, i would love to see your boy Jose and Gyasi Zardes together...with Dempsey off the bench. Johannsson has some potential from the few games I have seen.
Yeah!!! The 1st announcements were made on the 23rd, but I wasn't back yet.
1. 24 year old Bill Hamid (Reigning MLS Goalkeeper of the Year) should have been there instead of 36 year old Nick Rimando (who's on the tail-end of his career). Why wouldn't one of the TOP young prospects, who's also performing & the most consistent GK in MLS, be included???
2. If Kyle Beckerman goes down there's no other TRUE defensive midfielder to replace him, so why leave out Perry Kitchen, who's one of the young players in line for that spot & has had some good games.
3. I think Brek Shea is a better left winger & overall player (can effectively cover an overlapping left back or fill in if the left back goes down) than Brad Davis.
4. Why am I seeing Chris Wondolowski again??? This is not 2013........Jordan Morris has done more than enough to secure this spot.......Hell!!! I would prefer seeing Juan Agudelo instead of Wondo.
I hope Altidore holds up. I guess he'd put Zardes up top as his replacement.
*Chandler doesn't quite inspire confidence as a defender, and that's a concern, but looks good going forward.
NOTE: After the GC, 2 players I hope Klinsmann starts calling is Sebastian Lletget & Eric Lichaj........Thought he would have called them for practice games after the WC........Hope Gyau recovers fully because I think he would be a dangerous weapon on the wing for us.
