    This is a team of Bizarro USNT players, guys who coulda/woulda/shoulda been a part of the USNT and maybe play together in some sort of bizarro alternate universe. So what do people think, could the USNT beat the the players that could have been on the USNT?

    F - Rossi (Italy)
    F - Ibisevic (Bosnia)
    F - Movsisyan (Armenia)
    M - Johnson (Canada)
    M - Joesph (Grenada)
    M - Najar (Honduras)
    D - Ponce (Mexico)
    D - Hangeland (Norway)
    D - Subotic (Serbia)
    D - Sakai (Japan)
    GK - Gustafsson (Sweden)

    I know there are many others, but any better than this list? I know people don't talk about Ibisevic that much, but I heard he could have pursued the USNT possibly due to refuge status after coming here.

    But looking at that group, if everyone is healthy I think the forward and back line is stronger than what we have. Midfield and GK is certainly better with our current crop of players. I think this group could certainly give our guys a run, and I think if they played in Concacaf they could have a good shot at qualifying. It would be fun to imagine a USNT/Bizarro USNT all-star team...a kinda what could have been squad.

    (bizarro healthy squad)
    F - Rossi
    F - Ibisevic
    F - Dempsey
    M - Donovan
    M - Bradley
    M - Holden
    D - Johnson
    D - Subotic
    D - Hangeland
    D - Cherundolo
    GK - Howard
    Bench - Altidore, Jones, Bocanegra, Chandler, Ponce, Sakai

    Ok fantasy over. Must stop drinking.

    I will admit, me line up is very offensive, I should have plugged some Defensive midfielders in there, smart coaches would kill me with the counter attack.
