  1. Honest question….how many new players are likely to be called into the November camp?
    Andy will any of them come from the ranks of the Yanks Abroad?
    My guess is we’ll see less than 2 new faces and neither will actually play.

    Reply
    • Do Robinson and Green count as new faces? I think (hope) they both get called up. I think Holmes and Morales too though they don’t count. CCV my best guess for actual new player?

      Reply
    • Dest came right in and started both games. Morales started the game he was available for. If it’s a professional Berhalter has played them quickly. Youngsters like Pomykal and Aaronson have had to wait. But if it’s a choice of say Lovitz vs Gloster how could Chris be worse?

      Reply
      • There are players who are consistently going 90 in the same leagues as some of Berhaulter’s favorites….Ream….yet they are overlooked for MLS players who have shown time and again that they aren’t up to the international level. 2 names that jump to the top of the list are A. Robinson & CCV. Green is another player who’s doing well and yet overlooked in favor of Roldan.

        Berhaulter’s player selections & evaluation has been a major question mark of his tenure as manager of the USSF. If something isn’t changed soon to address this we’ll continue to see similar results as what we showed against Canada.
