Joe Corona

awesome!

 

he had a few nice touches in the few minutes he had

 

I want to see more of him as an attacking mid/SS.

 

hes a great player

 

You get to see him with Tijuana? Where does he play and what does he bring? Never gotten to see him so i'm just interested in what kind of player he is. Seemed like a poacher who plays in the whole when i saw him in Olympic quals.

 

he normally plays as a center attacking midfielder, he has great speed and great passing ability.

 

Looking forward to seeing what he can bring. I was shocked when I saw him out there, honestly, I did a double take.

 

I want to see more use of attacking mids on the whole for USA. We don't need 4 Dmids every match.

 

Joe has a lot to bring. Popularity of future prospects often drifts in favor to the European boys. Quiet Joe probably deserves more credit and playing time than he's received.

 

I hope hes the starting CAM against Russia, its time he gets a chance to play

 

Maybe seeing Corona with us will make some other talented Mexican Americans think about going for the USMNT instead of Mexico. Would bring a new dimension so our national team. Mexican players have always exceled at technique.

 

Benji Joya and Herculez Gomez

 

I remember at the public training session in Columbus prior to the Jamaica qualifier, Joe stood out the most in the 6 vs 6 scrimmage (or maybe it was 7 vs 7, or 8 vs 8, I don't remember). He damn near had a strike on goal against Guatemala in the final minutes from a Cherundolo cross.

 

keep on eye out for Alejandro Guido, he had a brilliant WC U-17 last year (i want to see him playing with mexico).

regarding Joe Corona, could become "el numero 10" that USMNT needs. Actually you only have 2 players that could be the perfect "10", Donovan and Dempsey.

 

Ventura Alvarado, CB for Club America.
Greg Garza, LB for Tijuana

 

Herculez Gomez is one of the reasons why Benji chose to stay playing for the US

 

Interesting to mention the US u20 team this cycle is loaded with chicano players. From what I've heard about this team, it plays the way JK wants the US program as a whole to play "proactive football". Coincedence? I think not. Can't wait to see what Corona can bring to the usmnt.

 

For the short amount of time he was on the field, Corona was linking up very well with Dempsey.

 

Guido hasn't impressed thereafter, he hasn't been called up for any youth tournaments since the U-17 World Cup.

 

I actually think his biggest problem is his lack of pace.

 

Guido is a playmaker. He is very good at passing the ball.

 

I thought I was the one who made stupid posts
