no Todd Dunivant? thats bullshit, best LB in the league.  also Rico Clark is one who i think could do well in the premiership, should keep an eye out for him. technical and tough defensive midfielder.

I cant see Brian McBride too

 

This is probably some experimental squad without the most important players

 

from toontastic:

Four players in the squad who are not in the domestic league. I'm surprised to see Dempsey in there considering that he very recently went to Fulham, but no real surprise.

 

News over here is that Gooch was not included because he's settling in at Newcastle. Similar story for a lot of Euro-based players (Wolff, Beasely etc) which is why Dempsey is such a surprise.

McBride and Reyna have both retired from the US National Team after last summer's World Cup disaster.

 

The US has always been very good about working with club managers in Europe to not call up players unneccessarily. Given that our only matches between now and the end of May are friendlies, and that Gooch is already penciled in as a first choice center back, I doubt he will be called up for any matches during the EPL season.

 

He'll be in the squad for either the Gold Cup or Copa America during the summer, but will probably get one of the two tournaments off since he was in the World Cup squad last year and hasn't had a full summer off since 2005.

 

Should we sign him long-term, you can except that he would not be called up until the 1st group stage of CONCACAF World Cup qualifying begins in the fall of 2008.

Both Bocanegra and Dempsey are going.
