Nice write-up....so it seems Jurgen wants a speedy centerback and someone who has good passing ability.
Fine....but there has to be others to choose from right?

Brek Shea headed to train with Arsenal.

The report makes it sounds like Jurgen arranged this, which is pretty cool.
Also Manny, I wanted to add that there is only one more FIFA friendly date (1 match in February) before WCQ starts. So you're probably right the Jan camp won't be cupcake, and hopefully we'll finally get to see Dempsey and Donovan together in February.
Omar wins MLS Defender of the Year. No surprise.
US is to play Italy in feb.
Arsene Wenger says US talent pool will have major influence on the game in the near future.

I'd be happier about this if it were anyone besides Arsene Wenger saying it.
maybe we can get a legit striker?
We have a legit striker. You do a bad job paying attention.
no we dont...the last legit honest to god striker we had was brian mcbride...who also is the last to score a world cup. Im hoping that vijay whats his name will pan out but for now hes injured
on that note, ten hours until kick off.
Looks like we are going more of a 4-4-2 or perhaps a 4-1-2-1-2 today:
GK: Howard
D: Dolo, Goodson, Boca, Chandler
M: Williams, Edu, Beckerman, Shea
F: Dempsey, Jozy
I'd be curious to see how Edu is deployed, if we are going with two holding mids or if one of the central mids will be in more of an attacking role. Edu seems least comfortable in that role between him, Bradley and Jones.
On the bench: Hamid, Fiscal, Bradley, Jones, Fabian Johnson (hoping we get to see him), Beasley and Buddle.
Not in uniform: Morales, Wunderkind Rodgers and Onyewu (groin)
France should be up ..
Way too close! Where is our defensive coordination?
Ugh. Atrocious defense.
The score doesn't show how lopsided this was..
Another game, another 1-0 loss. At least we're consistent.
Despite the goal, I thought the D was solid.
Midfield was wayward. Williams needs to play Edu's position (Edu has the touch of an elephant out there). You can tell williams is very uncomfortable in the wing. Jones/Bradley need to replace Beckerman.
Altidore/Dempsey were good. I still don't like Jozy out there on an island. Gomez? I can only dream that Terrence Boyd blows up and becomes a prime time player after the olympics. Maybe Dempsey plays further up when Donovan returns.
Buddle/Rodgers should never play for the US again. Johnson was too nervous to settle into the team. It'll take time. Cherundolo's PT in Hannover is going down and I don't see him making the world cup roster. I would play Chandler at his natural right back position and play Johnson/Lichaj at LB.
JK says he doesn't care about losing yet we played a totally defensive style. WTF!?
Not sure how that defense was good, if anything they are lucky they only got scored on once... could have easily been 3-1 and thats putting it lightly.. and I'm giving the US one for that POSSIBLE penalty on Jozy..
But if you look at the hand ball from Beckerman (I think it was him)... Benzema's missed header, Remy's goal... and like the 5 other chances..
France is just the better team... and boy have they improved since the WC..
I have no idea what jk is doing l.
Disappointing loss...
Darn MLS and their non-FIFA calendar...Lando would've helped...
The midfield play is just bad but what the is expected when Bradley doesn't even leave the bench. The guy is good. Why is he not starting over two players in Edu and Beckerman that he's obviously better than? And I'm a huge Beckerman fan.
Sacha not being on this team is ridic and JK's comments bout it after the game are just wrong.
I thought the first half D was excellent but the 2h was very different. Jozy was great today but it doesn't matter because the mids can't string together any passes to get the ball in an actual organized attack.
This is not about a lack of talent and right now all of us lamenting Bod Bradley's style look really stupid because JK is looking absolutely terrible. Obviously he's got a year to figure out but right now he's just doing flat out terrible.
Its not that the US is a better team than France but its the complete absence of chances in almost EVERY game they've played. Its HOW they're losing these games that is really the point. When we're not seeing any progress on the field JK's call ups and lineups deserve to be critiqued quite harshly, IMO.
Willing to give him a good deal of time to figure out, but right now I am NOT impressed and we really need to get a result against Slovenia on Tuesday. They just need to show progress.
Why is everyone in love with Klinsmann? Klinsmann was the worst mistake in Bayern's modern history.
Hummels
Hope that he brings a good assistant coach with him. Klinsmann should just stop being a manager, he's . He's a more of a motivator than a Manager. If he gets someone like Löw as assistan coach and he does nothing but motivate the players like in 2006, it's not a terrible decision, not a very good one either.
My question is Would Bradley have lost this game 3-0 4-0? Timmy was on fire
France was missing some players tooDisappointing loss...
Darn MLS and their non-FIFA calendar...
