Twellman injures groin, will miss Mexico match

Comments

  1. I am heartbroken. Just HEARTBROKEN! How can we really evaluate those new kits without seeing them on Taylor “I shop at GapKids” Twellman?

  2. Twellman can’t score at an international level in a highly charged atmosphere anyway. I will be glad when we never have to hear his name again. Altidore should always get the start over him.

  3. freddy, The negative reasons you gave about Pablo is probably one of the main reasons why he’s not in there. Though Bradley also goes in with stupid challenges late in games. But he’s also much younger.

  5. I’m not sure I agree with you Dominghosa. Mastroeni could provide the veteran leadership USA needs in 2010. My one problem with him is that he is a magnet for yellow cards and takes unnecessary chances with the tackles he chooses. But I wouldn’t write him off just yet.

  6. I’m with papabear, nothing against Twellman but this may be a good thing.
    And yes, I do believe Bradley could and will recall Altidore up from the U-23 camp.
    On another note, Dempsey should be able to play and is likely to be called up.
    And Freddy, Mastroeni has been out of the national picture for awhile, well, a few months and at least for the last half-year. It’s clear he’s not in the picture for the next WC. What with so many promising center mids in M. Bradley, R. Clark, M. Edu and maybe B. Feilhaber if he ever gets first-team minutes/regains form.

  7. I hate to sound like I’m wishing injury on the guy, I’m not, but anything that keeps Twellman out of the lineup is a positive thing. He has no business being called up every again.

  8. I am really anxious to see our STRONGEST squad come together. Not since the Brasil game in Chicago (which was the 1st USMNT game i’ve been to) have we had anything close. Bring on the qualifiers!

  9. Does this mean Jozy will get a shot? I know he is at the U23 camp but that closes on 2/3. Jozy said on his blog that Bob told him that he could be joining for the Mexico game. I really hope so. Since Eddie isn’t coming and Clint has played every match for struggling Fulham. It would be a good run out for Jozy to test himself against Marquez and crew. I want to win but I think that we need to get Jozy more involved with the guys he will play with in WCQ and WC2010.

  10. Well with Landon Rolfe and Chris Donovan I don’t understand how anybody can think we don’t have a guaranteed win against El Tri!

  11. Too bad he wasn’t playing for that fantastic Preston team over seas. Yet another reason to want to move from MLS to a crappy European squad. Too bad Taylor.

    Boo hoo.

  12. So, uh, we have Donovan, Rolfe, and White as the only forwards in camp currently?

    Do you think Ives would call any players away from the U23 camp for the match?

    Reply
  13. Ives,

    Any of the U-23’s expected to be named to the roster? Also, any ideas what Euro based players Emperor Bradley plans on calling?

  14. i like twellmen alot but lets face it hes not good enough to play on the national team. I say we should focus on how altidore and adu played at the under 20 world cup. come 2010 i believe that is the best pairing we have, so lets start them playing togetheir now.
