The experiments continue. Happy to see a bunch of regulars on this squad but I'd love to see Freddy Adu up there to get a shot. I love DeMarcus Beasley but I don't think he should be on that squad. I don't understand Klinsmanns love with him. And it may be a homer pick but he should call up Darlington Nagbe from Portland. Kid's a BEAST and he's finally come into his own and he's playing amazing soccer. Call it up for a few nothing matches and see what he can do on the wing.
I. Thinks he is. Just basicly trying many out and will make a choice and gear up for wc and other tournaments Sent from my HTC EVO using Tapatalk
I agree totally. The thing that sucks is that Bradley started 0-4 in his tenure as US Coach. Of course he kept all of the major names on the squad for those games. I think Klinsmann will be fine and FIFA also just approved Fabian Johnson's one time switch to play for the USMNT. He's a heck of a midfielder with a TON of Bundesliga experience.
