Was Bradley impressed enough with Moor that he’ll start him?
Wally is also on the U-23 roster… no love for him in the article?
Buzz has him on the list but forgot to bold his name.
Is there any reason why Cooper isn’t on the Olympic team? I ask because Cristman is on this list and he was a sub for NE the entire season.
I’ve been assuming that Cooper is too old to play in the Olympics, having turned 23 last October.
Buzz, you should have put Anthony Wallace in bold, too.
yeah sorry to Wallce. Boo Buzz. My bad.
At long last EJ’s two year long US showcase has paid some dividends and he’s with the Cottagers. Twellman, Rolfe, Noonan, Jaqua, and others have all gotten their looks, Altidore is on U23 with Holden, Ching is injured…how about bringing Coop back in? Come on, this is bs already.
Coop has to wait because the usmnt spots have to be earned thru league play. I see our former best defender Cla Goodson is back in camp prior to his euro departure. Why do I still think our FO somehow screwed up or he would still be in hoops?
Also, Josh Lambo is with the U-20 team at Copa Chivas in Guadalajara. U.S. tied Club America 2-2 in its opener Saturday; no word yet on whether he played.
Because you haven’t read the FCD Blog?
Clarence was out of contract and expressed his wishes to test the waters overseas. Instead of protect him and expose someone who really wanted to be here, they exposed him instead to let him see what was out there.
