We've done well over the past eight years to start playing friendlies against the best countries, but that's about as much as we can do. The real problem is youth development, the country is too large to be able to catch every kid who has promise. There's a countless amount who get missed and end up playing in college, which is not nearly good enough to consistently development European players. The next generation sounds decent enough right now, and this is probably the first season we're seeing young Americans playing important roles with their MLS sides. Getting players into European academies (which we have a few) or getting them in the MLS quickly is our best bet right now.

I've seen better

Well, Castillo did not workout so I'm guessing it's Beasley at leftback for now.

What

We did it Hope Johnson is okay for qualifiers.

Can't wait for a few years time when I forget that goal happened.

hey guys, they like cutting inside

Just fucking let both of them walk into dangerous areas.

Some godawful defending for both of those.

what the fuck

Jozy's best game in forever

Not bad considering we're Germany C

Newcastle kit in AO

ter Stegan Hope Barca go for him.

I really like Zusi

fuuk yeah jozy

Good start though

I think his brother was on trial at AC Milan for a bit, actually. He played for the Detroit Ignition for a few years, a kid I knew could always get free tickets and was always willing to drive so I saw him play a few times. Clearly the best player out there, scored like five a game. DaMarcus came to watch a few times, I think he was injured at Rangers at the time.

We're winning!

I keep hoping someone will come in and make sure Beasley doesn't start for us heading into the World Cup. People seem to pretty high on Edgar Castillo right now.

I think it's pretty much a certainty he's gone, Derek Rae seemed to think so yesterday while doing commentary.

Excellent girth in that article

He trained with West Ham in January. I think his contract might be up soon, there has to be someone interested, his work rate is Jonas-like.

Remarkable
