    US soccer has the team posted. Someone more internet savvy than me (which is everyone) can post the link. Not telling the answer.

    Actually it's not. 2 people from that 20 man roster will not be on the game day roster.

    I think Wynne sticks because I don't see anybody else who can play RB behind Frankie. Perhaps Davies and a mid?

    I think the cuts will be between Rogers/Davies and Bornstein/Wynne.

    I'm thinking the 2 people cut will be from Wynne, Davies, and Rogers. With an outside chance of maybe Bornstein. Everybody else is probably pretty safe.


    Robbie's best chance of making the team is probably if Beasley stubs his toe in practice.

    Wynn is just out of position so much. Against lesser teams in lesser games, his speed can balance his poor decisions. However, in big matches such as this, small cracks quickly become active faults.

    And Davies is here from Europe. There is no way Bradley is going to keep him this long unless he's in the squad. Unless Davies' season is on a break?

    Its between Davies/Rogers and Wynne/Bornstein. Wynne or Bornstein will be cut, the other will be kept. I think Wynne will be on the roster and Bornstein will be cut. We already have backups at striker, center defensive mid, center attacking mid/winger, outside back, center back, and keeper. Rogers gives the US more value for several reasons. Donovan, Dempsey, Ching, and Altidore can all play striker. Theres no reason to put ANOTHER striker on the roster when you don't even have a true winger backup.

    In the practices at HDC the coaches had Rogers and Bornstein teamed up and playing together constantly. I am guessing Davies and Wynne are cut.

    Regardless of who's in the final 18, there's a couple spots I'm going to question. We have to get deeper at fullback and forward. We're using guys who haven't played in weeks/months (and I'm not talking MLS guys).

    While you certainly can't argue the $$$ the players are getting, the "Hurry off to Europe so the USMNT will get better" strategy seems like it's going to hit a brick wall when all our best players are stuck not getting minutes. End of with a whole generation of Jovan Kirovski's...

    Yeah, I knew that. :)

    That's not fair, they should be like Bret Micheals and add more on the bus.

    Yep, it's a good thing you didn't call anyone a dumbass or anything, then you'd look foolish. ;)

    Why not? He is pacey, two footed and has been great with the Crew and loves the town. I hope he gets out there and kicks some menudo out of some one.
