The ASN 100

We asked 10 soccer experts—including Alexi Lalas, Taylor Twellman, and Grant Wahl—to rank the best American players.
Here are the October results.

also the roster for the next 2 quals came out today... er, what?

U.S. ROSTER BY POSITION
GOALKEEPERS (3) : Brad Guzan (Aston Villa), Tim Howard (Everton), Nick Rimando (Real Salt Lake)
DEFENDERS (8) : Carlos Bocanegra (Racing Santander), Geoff Cameron (Stoke City), Edgar Castillo (Club Tijuana), Steve Cherundolo (Hannover), Maurice Edu (Stoke City), Clarence Goodson (Brondby), Fabian Johnson (Hoffenheim), Michael Parkhurst (Nordsjaelland)
MIDFIELDERS (8) : Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake), Michael Bradley (Roma), Joe Corona (Club Tijuana), Jermaine Jones (Schalke 04), Sacha Kljestan (Anderlecht), Brek Shea (FC Dallas), Danny Williams (Hoffenheim), Graham Zusi (Sporting Kansas City)
FORWARDS (5): Clint Dempsey (Tottenham Hotspur), Landon Donovan (LA Galaxy), Herculez Gomez (Santos), Alan Gordon (San Jose Earthquakes), Eddie Johnson (Seattle Sounders)

wow charlie davies at 99, so sad

also glad to see cherundolo get some praise. love that guy.

So there is the usual "Klinsi out" chatter flying around. With only a 16-player roster (+3 goalies) available for tomorrow vs Guatemala, is anyone else feeling slightly nervous?

ok now i'm a little nervous

there we go

Dempsey is a diver, it pissed me off to see that again. Not a bad game overall though.

giant bitchface dempsey behind the goal is awesome.

posted a pic of him carrying the face in the general 2014 thread

it's so rad seeing it bob around behind the goal when dempsey scores.

wish it were at the debate tonight.

wmlynch otm x3

Can't believe the turnaround on opinions of Eddie Johnson after these past two games. Now instead of shitting on him they're shitting on Klinsmann playing him in midfield.

Juergen Klinsmann‘s long-awaited roster for the U.S. national soccer team’s friendly against Russia in Krosnodar on Wednesday (10 a.m. ET, ESPN2, Univision Deportes, ESPN3.com):

Goalkeepers: Tim Howard (Everton), Sean Johnson (Chicago Fire), Nick Rimando (Real Salt Lake).

Defenders: Carlos Bocanegra (Racing Santander), Geoff Cameron (Stoke City), Timmy Chandler (Nuremberg), Maurice Edu (Stoke City), Clarence Goodson (Brondby), Fabian Johnson (Hoffenheim).

Midfielders: Michael Bradley (Roma), Mikkel Diskerud (Rosenborg), Josh Gatt (Molde), Joe Gyau (St. Pauli), Jermaine Jones (Schalke), Sacha Kljestan (Anderlecht), Danny Williams (Hoffenheim).

Forwards: Juan Agudelo (Chivas USA), Jozy Altidore (AZ Alkmaar), Terrence Boyd (Rapid Vienna), Herculez Gomez (Santos Laguna).

btw fuck a 10AM game, ussf

2-2 not really fair to how russia owned this game

Sounds like a classic Russian performance tbh

GK: Guzan, Howard, S. Johnson
DF: Besler, Bocanegra, Cameron, Castillo, Chandler, Evans, Gonzalez, F. Johnson, Parkhurst
MF: Bradley, Davis, Edu, Jones, Kljestan, Torres, Williams, Zusi

Need a Johnson in the mid to complete the quadfecta.

nice, i missed the announcement that Chandler had committed to the US.

Yeah he'll be cap tied if he plays.

btw fu beinsport

^

also fu hondo and ur holiday day, you don't think i'm so fuckin busy at work i will p much only be able to follow on twitter? dicks

Howard (C); Chandler, Gonzalez, Cameron, F. Johnson; Williams, Jones, Bradley, E. Johnson; Dempsey, Altidore

in it to win it

442 w/ ej and jozy & deuce behind them?

Eddie Johnson over Zusi is slightly surprising but whatevs

Gonzalez starting is weird too but Bocanegra is old and they gotta bloody the new kids' noses sometime.

hex starts now. for as little attention as i've paid to this team, i'm nervous

lol studio commentators

where is this being televised?

bein

or via dodgy internet stream.

deuce

Hey! My dodgy stream froze but the audio continued :/

what a goal for honduras

amazing power on that bicycle kick.

Deserved. The defense is HORRID.

Yeah, really really bad play from both CBs. Weaker there than at forward?

Also fu Stoke City 4 playing Cameron as RB instead of CB where we need him.

klinsmann out

i was only able to periodically look up from work, but there seemed to be a . . . 'subpar work rate'. no pressure on the cross that led to the first honduras goal. guess it was pretty hot/humid tho
