Last Club Dates for Yanks Abroad

[keller4president]

Here is a list of the last fixture dates for the major USMNT members playing in Europe. As you'll see, the Dutch League finishes way early, which will hopefully give Beasley and Gibbs a lot of time to rest up. (Also leaves less time for O'Brien to get any competitive matches in before camp.) Unfortunately the Germany league ends the latest, which will mean less rest for Keller, Dolo and Berhalter.

Beasley: April 16
Gibbs, O’Brien: April 16
Lewis: April 30
Convey, Hahnemann: April 30
Onweyu: May 6
Reyna : May 7
Howard: May 7
Spector: May 7
McBride, Bocanegra: May 7
Keller: May 13
Cherondolo: May 13
Berhalter: May 14

Lewis (Leeds) might be in the promotion playoffs going into May.

i seriously doubt keller will tire in goal, and it is possibly even better that he stays in game shape longer than most keepers at WC

Interesting that you didn't included Convey and Hahnemann, but I understand why they were omitted. It's early March and they are all but guaranteed promotion. Amazing.

Reading will likely clinch automatic promotion in the next few weeks.

Reading will likely clinch automatic promotion in the next few weeks.

When they clinch do they give the starters the rest of the season off and try out new talent? What would be the purpose of continuing to push?
It would be nice if they got lots of rest, Convey in particular. Maybe he and Beas can go to the park and find Beas' first touch.

[NBlue]

Maybe KZ took it -- then again, perhaps not.

If they clinch the title they might rest players. They are going for the title.

I believe there is a strong desire to win the championship--nothing compared to promotion, but something for which they'll keep playing most of the starters.

I think the dutch league dates are misleading. There are no fixtures listed past April 16, but I believe they are introducing playoffs this year for European spots at the end of the season. Can anyone confirm this?

Play-off scheduling I don't think will be a factor for Den Haag....
