Klinsmann tried to downplay the issue when announcing the roster. "At this point in time, I want to give the younger strikers a chance to prove themselves and this is a good stage to do it,” he said. “I communicated with Clint about it and it’s all fine.”

Why is the author of the article acting like these two matches are the hexagonal? Experimenting with the roster is fine during these matches. The larger problem is that we still don't have a core.

Wow, there is a lot to unpack there. Totes forgot that Seth and Chance were at a camp, that's hilarious. Benny is a handful, we all know that, the exclusion of McCarty is the symbol of all Jürgen's flaws as the national team coach.

Dax is a gigantic stud and has improved even into his late 20s. And plays the most important position in the system.

I hope the U23s can turn around our youth form as of late.

At least there are some actual fullbacks this time other than Okwuonu.

As a parent of two soccer playing girls I was very happy about US Soccer banning headers. AYSO was initially included in this lawsuit and the judge took them off, I hope they also honor the edict.

hell, even 99% of HS boys in KS are more likely to take a ball to the nose or whiff completely as they are to a) safely head the ball and b) have it go where the hell they intended.  definitely cool with this, it isn't worth it for these kids

What I am saying is that dobberjr is pretty athletic and he can convert set pieces better than the average soccer player.

Nemeth and Hungary just beat Norway in the first leg of the Euro qualifier playoff. Norway by far the better team but lost 1-0 so Hungary got their away goal. Return leg is on Sunday in Budapest.

Road to Russia begins in an hour, in STL vs Saint Vincent. If we don't win by 3+ goals Jurgen should be fired, not even kidding.
