    I also thought the starting date was moved to the 15th.

    Cool, that makes a lot more sense in terms of no announcement being made.

    My guess at the squad:

    Hamid, Johnson, Rimando
    Goodson, Gonzalez, Besler, Okugo
    Pearce, Beitashour, Williams
    Jones, Beckerman, McCarty, Diskerud, Clark
    Donovan, Zusi, Gatt, Pontius
    Johnson, Gordon, Wondolowski, Agudelo

    If camp starts on the 15th. Because that is only 22 days before the Honduras match, so I think Donovan and Goodson will be there. I struggled with the various MLS fullback options, especially since they are superfluous for the full squad with so many options abroad. Okugo was also sort of a random selection. Cronin and DeLeon just miss out.

    I reserve the right to adjust if Jones isn't released by Schalke, or if Gonzalez, Diskerud, Donovan, Agudelo or anybody else transfers.

    Close to mine:
    Clark out- O'Brien/Kitchen in
    Donovan out- Bedoya in
    Gordon out- Boyd in
    Wondolowski out- DeLeon in

    I could also see Heath Pearce or Chance Myers sneek in over 1 of the D-Mids (Kitchen, O'Brien, McCarty)

    Hmm, I didn't realize Austria is out of season until mid-February. I would put Boyd ahead of Wondolowski then, as that seems to fit Klinsmann's prior preferences.

    Like the last few times Klinnsman will get a look and not even make the bench, not a big deal

    I thought he only audition for JK once (Italy game). He may not be playing Hertha's first team ball but he is doing very good in the regionellia even scoring a handfull of goals from the midfield position. JK clearly sees something that he likes.

    He was also in the camp before the matches against Scotland/Brazil/Canada/Guatemala, but he Agudelo and Zusi were cut from the final 18 IIRC

    ^Yeah, figure he's there to learn again. Not someone who I expect to see starting.

    He was called up for the France/Slovenia friendlies back in November 2011 not the Italy game.

    You are correct, he was invited before the mini tournament, I think 33 players were called at the camp.

    Too soon to speculate but just maybe Porter can get his DM from the U23 team after all.

    I hope Bedoya gets called up..been awhile since he's been on the team. I think he can offer something offensively on the wing or elsewhere.

    As for when the roster is out I heard next monday from SoccerInsider

    US Soccer just announced that camp starts Monday, so the roster should be announced before then.

    Doesn't Klinnsman usually announce rosters on Thursday or something?

    From SoccerInsider: Looking like #usmnt camp this month will last 3 weeks instead of 2 and open next week. Roster announcement maybe Monday?

    From @DougMacESPN First week of January Camp, now scheduled to begin Jan 7 (moved up from 14th) dedicated solely to fitness. Smart. #usmnt

    From @FrancoPanizo Being told #usmnt camp begins on Jan. 7 and the roster announcement will be that day. Slight chance it could come out day prior.

    I believe it's a Klinsmann thing.

    Not confirmed to us mere *outsiders*. Some of us have *connections*. ;)

    Seriously, Captain Obvious here, but it will be interesting to see the actual list. Seemed to me - at a glance, at least - like this guy was assuming Camp Cupcake...but doesn't JK seem to want to call in as many regulars as possible to get ready for Honduras?
