He is a rich idiot.
This topic is dead!
But no worries....Gold Cup is around the corner, and the Spain friendly is also coming up!
Anyways, the season isn't even over yet and already there are transfer rumors!
Rumors of Dempsey moving to France to play Paris Saint Germain.

Dempsey has been the only consistently good player this season for the Yanks abroad and he deserves to play in a decent team. If he can get some European time, that would be great.
And who do you guys think should be on the Gold Cup Roster?
EDIT: Here's also an amusing article about Portland Timbers and Seattle Sounders http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703864204576319570556983628.html?KEYWORDS=Portland

I used to think Davies should be back for the Gold Cup, but to be honest, I don't think he is ready for it. Agudelo should definitely get the roster spot up top.
Please no Jozy.

Dang, what did Xbhaskarx do to get banned? Sucks. Hope he'll be back
He's back, thankfully.
The wait for the Gold Cup is driving me mad. The one thing I hate about international soccer is the long wait between fixtures.
But the tournaments make it all worth while.
EDIT: Apparently the Boston-based owner of A.S. Roma is looking at bringing in Donovan or Bradley. I don't think Lando wants to go abroad unless it's with Everton, and though I love Mikey I don't know about him playing in Italy.

Thanks guys.
I got two weeks for making a joke in the PSN outage thread.
Edit: Because I once got banned for a month for complaining about my tag, I will refrain from commenting further so I don't get banned for complaining about the mods or something....

Donovan shot down Roma already. It seems as if he's fine staying in MLS. Roma's American owners seemed to be interested in many USMNT players.

would be so badass if Roma became full of Americans
you can't argue that would be great for our USMNT...
a lot of the starting 11 (USMNT) guys playing with each other day in and day out. that can only better the team.
Spain/Barca just proved that this past WC

It would be awesome to have a team like that. I just want Bradley to play somewhere. I hate Houllier for not even using Bradley and for condemning Lichaj. He had one bad game.

That's Chivas USA's goal!!!! Except they want all players from SoCal.....MidnightRider said:
I don't really follow the Italian league right now so that would be nice, but I wouldn't want too many Americans who are doing well in better leagues (eg Dempsey, Cherundolo, Chandler, etc.) to go down to what is clearly only the fourth best league.
Hah... RomAmerica, ChivaSocal

3pm conference call with the press about the roster
Judderman said:
Bedoya had a really good game this weekend.
I believe Jermaine Jones left in the 90th minute with an injury, but I wasn't watching and haven't read anything about it, so I don't know how serious.

#USMNT Roster Part 2: M: Adu, Bradley, Dempsey, Donovan, Edu, Feilhaber, Jones, Kljestan, Rogers; F: Agudelo, Altidore, Wondolowski
#USMNT Roster Part 1: GK: Hahnemann, Howard, Rimando; D: Bocanegra, Bornstein, Cherundolo, Goodson, Lichaj, Onyewu, Ream, Spector
WTF where is Timothy Chandler?

He has done pretty well lately and I think his team is in the playoffs to get promoted to the top Turkish league.

Why are you surprised at Hahnemann? Who else did you expect? I just hope Chandler isn't thinking of switching to Germany. I want to know who the last minute change was and why. Injury I'm guessing.
sazabirules said:
Yelldell just because Hahnemann is getting up there in age.
Also we're deeper at midfield these days than at goalkeeper, yet even with Guzan missing the GC Yelldell doesn't make the roster despite playing regularly and having success in the German second division, whereas Adu makes our midfield after playing occasionally and having a few decent games in the Turkish second division?
And what the hell is going on with Chandler??

I was going to make a joke on Twitter about the reason the roster delay happened was because they were trying to find Adu somewhere in Europe to tell him he made the cut...but I was scared it would be taken as fact...
..and the dude actually made the roster. wow
Bob Bradley doesn't want Klinsmann to take the team to the 2013 Confed Cup...confirmed?

Hopefully he explains the Chandler omission. Not having Bedoya or Bunbury I can deal with.

I'm glad Wondo is getting another chance. When he played in the first half of the Chile game, he wasn't getting any service from the midfield. Then we switched to the 4-4-2 and did much better.
Few quotes from conference call, taken from twitter.
Bradley: "We have followed Freddy since he transferred. We've watching him a number of times on the computer. Haven't managed to get there"
Chandler? "First real season playing at this level, it didn't make sense for him at this time, few minor injuries of late"

Eric Mangini, im tellin you folks.
Adu?
Adu?
Bradley: We look at this Gold Cup as such an important tournament for the #USMNT. It's a roster we think gives us versatility, experience.
Bradley on Adu I: "There are good signs. Freddy is a player who in the past has shown soccer qualities that can help our team."
Bradley on Adu II: "This seems like a good opportunity to get him back in with #USMNT as he continues to grow and mature."
Bradley on Chandler: "He told us physically and mentally this season has been a long one ... Time wasn't right for this Gold Cup." #USMNT
Bradley on Chandler II: "First real season playing at this level, it didn't make sense for him at this time, few minor injuries of late"
Bradley on Wondo: "We felt (he) was in good form. He has scored good goals and different types ... gets a couple chances every game" #USMNT
Bradley on Rogers: "Ability to run at people, get behind ... playing on both flanks. He's started the season w/ mobility & energy" #USMNT
Bradley on Davies: "We've seen a lot of progress. Had a good conversation with him, told him I still feel it's not where it totally needs to be"
