Ameritoon Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Having him and Johnson is really nice, if he progresses well we'll have two very good fullbacks for a few years, nice change from the last few cycles. Also with Cameron in there our back four could be pretty serviceable when it comes to the World Cup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Very excited to see what this squad can do, especially against a full-strength Russian side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miercoles Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 Really disappointed to see that Lazy Altidore is back in the squad already. Especially when they don't bother to call up the guy who scored 28 goals in 34 games this year. Ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ameritoon Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Ashamed to say he is from Michigan, pretty sure he went to the same high school as Romney too Predictable. Anyway, decent result from a very mediocre performance. Bradley is good, Gatt did enough to get another callup. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Village Idiot Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 He's fast as all hell down the flanks. Actually one of the few brights spots for the U-23 team that failed to qualify for the Olympics. Should be a nice winger on the left side. Josh Gatt is another with a high ceiling. Currently at Molde under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (not a bad role model for a winger), but he had been linked with some big clubs this past transfer window. Might even be faster than Gyau. One good thing I have spotted is how more American kids are scouted and brought into European youth setups. We have this kid in ours, Ben Lederman, who actually oozes class (although I'm always cautious about players impressing at such young ages). There was also talk about a couple more yanks joining... so american players are gaining recognition. Big day when Lederman signed for Barca. Huge for American soccer. As I said it's still a bit too early, but the boy's touch and composure on the ball is sublime for a kid his age. If he develops properly he'll be a huge asset for the USMNT in 10 years. I wouldn't mind giving him a call-up at 14 and get him cap-tied (can you be cap-tied under 18?) But seriously, I could see U.S. Soccer calling him up way too early and completely screwing up his development (ala Freddy Adu). Featured today in one of our rags as one of the players to watch from Barça's academy. They said he's playing for the US U14 side despite only being 12.

Village Idiot Posted December 23, 2012 Share Posted December 23, 2012 As I said, spotting players at this age is very difficult and personally I don't pay attention to youth football until ages 15-16; but having lived in the USA I would love for an American kid to make it here.
