32 Nations Final 23 WC Rosters

[Jabinho]

Maybe this will work.. Maybe not.. I thought it might be nice to have one place to refer to for info as the nations at the WC announce their final rosters for Germany, instead of hunting through all the forums..
Not a thread for speculation or guessing but to post them as they are announced. Some countries will be announcing the list before the deadline..
Have any already done it? I know there will be some next week..
Perhaps if a mod likes the idea this can be made sticky for reference..

Doesn't really change anything to prior the naming of the squad.In fact,if I was a US fan,I'd be a little disappointed with those two inclusions.Particularly Albright,doesn't really add anything TBH.

Albright can make some nice runs down the wing from the back, and he's not a horrible crosser. Olsen has been hitting some long shots, so if he can keep that up, that will help. that's always been a big problem for the USMNT.

they're not the greatest, but beggars can't be choosers.

Looks like it was wrong as far as Twellman and Albright.. Replace that with Chung and Conrad..

It's Ching, buddy. Now I can understand how you messed up that roster.

And please, double check your sources prior to going on a whim. You disappointed a lot of people and IMHO lost a lot of respect.

Whatever.

GO USA!
