    In a hypothetical match between out "older" bubble players, and the younger guys, some of which who were not necessarily given the best opportunity to make the squad, who would win, and which team is more talented. To qualify you have to be under 28 for the young guys, and not be considered a lock. The old guys must be 28 or older, and not be considered a lock.

    ----------------Guzan-------------
    Wynne------Demeritt-----Spector-----Pearce

    Mullan-----Gaven------Rico Clark------Mapp

    -----------Rolfe----------Buddle

    Reserves
    Westberg (only because no GK under 28 starts in MLS besides Guzan)
    Marshall, Boswell, Sturgis, Dunivant, Feilhaber, Szetela, Martino, Santino, Nguyen, Adu, Chad Barrett, Alecko, Cooper, Jaqua

    Old Guys
    ----------------------Hartman

    Albright-------Beerholder-----Conrad--------Hejduk

    Ralston--------Olsen------Zavagnin-------Klein (i cant think of any one else)

    ------------------Ching----------Wolff
    Reserves
    Meola, Vanney, Petke, Wade Barrett, Armas, Cobi Jones, Marsch, Mathis, Kreis, Kirovski, Cunningham

    Call me crazy, but I am voting for the young kids. Maybe it has something to do with the poor service going into the forwards on the slow midfielders, and defenders with very little skill.

    Can you please add an option for "Spartacus with a Piper Cub?"

    I think the young guys would win rather easily.

    I think the guys on the young "bubble" team have much more technical ability and athletic ability compared to the old "bubble" team. Also, I don't think Conrad and Beerholder would be able to stay with Buddle and Rolfe. I think the young guys would pick apart the hacks in the middle of the park for the old team. And, I don't think Ching or Wolff would get much service from the lack of talent in the middle for the older guys, and Ching and Wolff are two forwards that can't create on their own.

    Young guys 3
    goals: Buddle 32, Rolfe 44, OG Conrad 76

    Old guys 0

    i'll take the reserve young guys in a 3 team tourney and they would beat both starting teams.

    Who cares?

    Either team would get the shit kicked outta them by any team that qualified to go to Germany. I'm tired of the bubble players. We're not as deep as some want to pretend. I just wanna get the real team together and see what they can do.

    I think there is plenty of talent on the young team. We just have not seen much of it, since we have mainly seen the old bubble players.

    With the help of the EURO players, we will not look as mediocre.
