great! now we get to hear Julie Foudy espouse her expertise.

[mlsfc]

No Altidore?

[wooglin12]

First page!

I'm just baffled now that there's no Cooper. Baffled. Other than that, I'm OK.

[jonspider]

Looks about status quo. Ching looks to be the only one left out of the "big 3" to make this squad.

No Altidore OR Cooper.

Simply unreal.

Fire Bradley.

[Tonerl]

Are we seriously grooming Dominic Cervi?

And, yeah, were's Altidore? I know he's got a little ankle issue, but shouldn't we call him in anyway? It's not like he's busy until July 1.

[tab5g]

not to complain, but this is the US roster (obviously) for the 6/15 match v Barbados.

if anyone has the "Barbados roster" (of their players), this might be a good thread for it.

or this thread could do with a title change.

[cleansheetbsc]

Fire Bradley.

He dropped Wolff. Extend his contract a year.

[Cannons]

No Altidore?

Doesn't BB know that Altidore and Cooper are GODS on BS?:D

No big surprises here except Sacha. Get ready for Gooch-Boca in the middle

Most MLS teams could beat Barbados

[TrueCrew]

Only 21?

Did I miss the bus, or don't we get 23 for WCQ? Set me straight, people.

[PhillyQuakesFan]

Are we seriously grooming Dominic Cervi?


My guess is he's just being kept around as a warm body for practice as he's out of contract. If Howard or Guzan gets hurt in practice this week, we'll see Hahnemann or Reis get a call.

18 for the gameday roster for WCQ.

(23 if a region hosts a "single-site" tournament-style qualification).

but, since this is H/A (and all subsequent rounds are groups of H/A) it is just 18 for WCQ.

Looking at their player pool on Wikipedia, it appears that their goalie plays in the Eircom league, they have two guys playing in England (one in League 2 aka the 4th level and the other in non-league), a guy with the New Hampshire Phantoms, and the rest of their team plays in Barbados.

I think they had one or two EPL players last time we faced them, but that doesn't seem to be the case any more.

Certainly not the level of Grenada, who had two players good enough to play for the US (Joseph and Roberts) when we faced them.

The key player for Barbados is Robert Goddard. He was quite good and had blazing speed when I played against him in college. But he might have lost a step or three plus most of his hair since then. His family seems to own half the island (including the company that makes Cockspur rum), so he is a good man to know.

[JohnnyHowson]

Yuck.

Isn't Jozy hurt? For some reason I remember reading that. As to Cooper I am surprised as I like everyone want to see him since we have a striker shortage.

[Sachin]

I'm sure Altidore's busy getting ready for his move to Spain, so calling him in for this round of qualies makes no sense.

Eddie Johnson leads a charmed life. Who else but a Bradley pet can not produce for years on end and still virtually be guaranteed a roster spot in important games. Who's next? Wolff? Razov?

Cooper, Altidore, Rolfe, Parkhurst, Marshall, Mapp? Well, they must be part of the 2014 World Cup Qualifying campaign. I can tell you one thing, if these are not convincing victories and he insists on playing his pets (Johnson, his son) and using ineffective tactics he must go. We have not scored in 3 games and a lot of this has to do with an ineffective forward and an equally ineffective midfield.

Does anybody know the last time one of our forwards scored a goal? Must have been 1000 minutes ago.
