    Typical BS roster selection phases:

    Phase I: Speculation on selection
    Phase II: Anticipation of selection
    Phase III: Condemnation or Approbation of selections
    Phase IV: Resignation that no matter whom we select, we still are what we are.

    For me... this is his last chance. If he snubs people that have been snubbed before, without even a look see, then he's dead in my eyes and I will move to the anti Klinsmann side.

    He has been less than impressive so far and we dont have a lot of time to waste. The crew he has been using simply aren't getting it done and he needs to expand his player pool and stop making decisions based on some magical paper list. A January camp is the time to look and experiment. Lets hope he takes advantage of it and gives the usual cast of fringe players a chance to prove they belong or don't .... on the field

    Well, get ready to be anti-JK. JK has a plan and he is sticking to it.

    JK can try whatever now. The truth is, we have a fallback plan and that's the Bob/Arena lineup and strategy, which should still get us to the WC and still let us lose to Ghana by 1 goal.

    “there’s a difference between wanting to play a particular way and having the players capable of playing that way,”-Kasey Keller people take note.

    certainly a deliciously ambiguous choice of an adverb

    Its not out of context he goes on to say how hes wondering whether or not he'll change his selections when the results actually start to matter.

    Watch who he calls in at the center back positions.

    Gonzalez needs to be balled in, and if we don't see at least one of George or Cameron, then we know we are in trouble, serious trouble.

    Calling up MLS guys for the January camp seems like a no-brainer. Lets see if JK can handle it.

    With the performances in MLS this year, the CB quartet should practically pick itself:

    Gonzalez
    John
    Ream
    Cameron

    What in heaven's name make you think Ream should get another look for awhile?

    Give him a break, and find somebody else if you need 4 cbs for practice....

    Marshall deserves it over Ream. Ream needs to get his legs back underneath him. I don't want to see his sophmore slump become a flatlining career.

    Amen. Ream was awful this year. And really, after the EPL deal fell through, John was pretty bad as well.

    Gonzalez, Cameron, and Marshall have all been outstanding for years at a time, though injuries have hurt Marshall a bit, ditto Cameron, and the position switches. But to my eyes, those three have been the best USA CB's in MLS over the last couple years, rather easily. 3 of the last 4 DOY awards among them (Marshall 2, Gonzalez 1).

    If you actually watched him play for Red Bull this year, you would know that he was by far the least responsible party for that defensive mess.

    And as far as his USMNT worthiness, I agree that he has played himself off the A-team, but this is Camp Cupcake and he's definitely one of the top four American center backs in MLS.

    The fact that Besler has a crazy big throw-in doesn't change that.

    You'd think he was coaching Thailand or something.

    For someone who thinks we're able to play possession soccer with the world's best, he sure doesn't seem to think very highly of our players.
