The roster from Korea/Japan- 1 FRIEDEL Brad (GK) 2 HEJDUK Frankie 3 BERHALTER Gregg 4 MASTROENI Pablo 5 O BRIEN John 6 REGIS David 7 LEWIS Eddie 8 STEWART Earnie 9 MOORE Joe-Max 10 REYNA Claudio 11 MATHIS Clint 12 AGOOS Jeff 13 JONES Cobi 14 CHERUNDOLO Steve 15 WOLFF Josh 16 LLAMOSA Carlos 17 BEASLEY DaMarcus 18 KELLER Kasey (GK) 19 MEOLA Tony (GK) 20 MC BRIDE Brian 21 DONOVAN Landon 22 SANNEH Tony 23 POPE Eddie Who will remain for 2006? Whose replaced them?
I'll take the first question (since it's easy). Remember, you heard it hear first. Gone will be Friedel, Berhalter (probably), Regis, Stewart, Moore, Mathis (probably), Agoos, Jones, Llamosa, Meola, Sanneh.
1 FRIEDEL Brad (GK) - Retired 2 HEJDUK Frankie - Could be back 3 BERHALTER Gregg -Could be back 4 MASTROENI Pablo - Lock if healthy 5 O BRIEN John - If healthy and playing a lock 6 REGIS David - Retired 7 LEWIS Eddie - Lock if healthy 8 STEWART Earnie - Retired 9 MOORE Joe-Max - Retired 10 REYNA Claudio - Lock if Healthy 11 MATHIS Clint - very very small chance but likely no 12 AGOOS Jeff - Done 13 JONES Cobi - Hes played in qualies but won't make the roster 14 CHERUNDOLO Steve - Lock if healthy 15 WOLFF Josh - Maybe, maybe not, depends on our depth at forward 16 LLAMOSA Carlos - Retired? 17 BEASLEY DaMarcus - Lock if healthy 18 KELLER Kasey (GK) - Lock if healthy 19 MEOLA Tony (GK) - God no. 20 MC BRIDE Brian - Lock if healthy 21 DONOVAN Landon - Lock if healthy 22 SANNEH Tony - Hopefully he's done after the GC 23 POPE Eddie - Lock if healthy, I know thats not popular with some around here, but I don't think Arena will let Pope be the Agoos of the '06 roster. He'll likely be there for his leadership and experience, and he definitely isn't declining like Goose did. Eight players from this roster are locks, four more have decent shots at making the roster. Didn't realize how many of the guys from '02 have since retired either from the nats (Friedel) or all together...
