If Bradley wants to be a star and have a team built around him then Toronto isn't a bad place to start. No one to fight with him for dominance or playing time.

if that's what he wanted he could have stayed at Chievo rather than move to Roma.
― mizzell, Wednesday, 8 January 2014 21:22 (ten years ago) link
The second half of that is basically what I've heard, he's getting squeezed out at Roma and that's not a good thing leading into the summer in Brazil. Seems like there's a lot of interest from clubs in Germany and elsewhere in Europe but he needs guaranteed playing time more than anything. xpost

feel so bad for this dude. i thought he was going to be a major player for the usmnt.
In his first game action since tearing his ACL in July’s Gold Cup final, Holden reinjured the knee 23 minutes into an appearance with the club’s under-21 squad.

Rushing back for the 2010 WC was a bad move. He wasn't fully healed and that has led to more injury. I always hated him for Houston but you're right, he would have been a contributor for the nats in a way that Jones/Klestjan/Edu/Williams haven't been.

Sounds like Cherundolo is hanging 'em up.

he's one of my favorites. amazing to have more than 400 appearances with Hannover, he's been there since 1999!

Bayern Munich forward Julian Green has chosen to represent the United States in international competition and has applied for a one-time change of association to FIFA. The process is expected to be completed in the coming weeks.

Can't help but be cynical about this after all the young forwards we've seen that have been predicted to be the saviors of the nat'l team.

yedlin in the 30. I love the kid but he's not ready.
― stangelo (anky), Monday, 12 May 2014 18:55 (ten years ago) link
Yeah that's bizarre. Still, he probably won't make the cut. Chandler is also an interesting addition.
― dan m, Monday, 12 May 2014 19:22 (ten years ago) link
Brooks, Corona, Green also slightly o_O imo

otm. not like ream or agudelo are prime choices but at least they've been in the system and shown something at some point

Boyd's on 20 goals in Austria this year, tough to ignore that kind of Herc Gomez-esque form for a late shot at the team

Without Landon they're instantly more likable.
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 22 May 2014 21:39 (ten years ago) link
Initial reaction seems to be that Klinsi is already preparing for 2018, which is insane imo.
― dan m, Thursday, 22 May 2014 21:48 (ten years ago) link
Landon prepared the way by stating he couldn't and wouldn't train every day, by going walkabout last year, and by being Landon. I don't think it's prep for 2018; I think Klinsmann sees a guy who can no longer bring it every day and knows Brazil is going to be a major physical challenge just to compete.
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 22 May 2014 21:57 (ten years ago) link
Still surprising IMO. Also they just don't get on with each other supposedly. I'm kinda bummed have no problem taking a guy who has more World Cup goals than Messi Ronaldo and Van Persie combined.
Psyched that Wondolowski made it!
― mizzell, Thursday, 22 May 2014 23:13 (ten years ago) link
It's been in the cards for month, but it's like the media couldn't believe what they were reporting.
Part of me wonders how much Donovan would have been a distraction in a "super sub" role. Obviously, the media would have fixated on it, and it might have had guys looking over the shoulders or resentful. We'll never know, but I think he could have had an impact in that position.
I'm happy Wondo gets a chance, too. He plays the poacher role really well.
― EZ Snappin, Thursday, 22 May 2014 23:25 (ten years ago) link
ESPN FC @ESPNFC 3mLandon Donovan hasn't scored a goal in any professional match since October 6, 2013.
Something to consider.

It's been almost that long for Jozy, and he didn't have an off-season.

True. Shame there's no competition in a holding forward role.
