***OFFICIAL USAMNT 2010 WC THREAD***

Ok, lets try this again. I hope it doesn't end up like the last thread.
The 30 Man Roster will be released tomorrow. Who's in who's out:

Here is predicted final roster from US Soccer Daily:

Goalkeepers (4):
Tim Howard
Marcus Hahnemann
Brad Guzan
Nick Rimando*

Defenders (9):
Carlos Bocanegra
Jay DeMerit
Clarence Goodson
Oguchi Onyewu
Jonathan Spector
Steve Cherundolo
Jonathan Bornstein
Heath Pearce
Frankie Hejduk

Midfielders (11):
Landon Donovan
Clint Dempsey
Stuart Holden
Benny Feilhaber
Michael Bradley
Ricardo Clark
Maurice Edu
Jose Francisco Torres
Alejandro Bedoya
DaMarcus Beasley
Freddy Adu

Forwards (6):
Jozy Altidore
Charlie Davies
Brian Ching
Herculez Gomez
Edson Buddle
Conor Casey

I am skeptical about Davies and Onyewu but I hope they make it.

June 12 England 11:30 a.m. PST
June 18 Slovenia 7 a.m. PST
June 23 Algeria 7 a.m. PST

Oguchi will make it for his experience and size. Pretty much the last guys on each position you wrote will be cut

I want Davies to make it, but I have doubts about him being 100%.

Can we please play Carlos at left back ...

Yeah me too, I would rather give Buddle a shot he has been tearing it up in MLS

Exactly. I feel a whole lot more comfortable with a guy that's been rolling over a guy that hasn't played a game in months and coming off a broken leg.

I like him more in the middle, especially with Oneywu most likely out. So instead of having a strong inside defense, will have to switch to a speed-dominant middle with Bocanegra and Cherundolo in the middle, while we have Bornstein at left back and Spector at right back.

Most likely the middle will have to alternate substitutes for the loss of Oneywu (though even if he's at 80%, we should start him).

On a side note, I'm a huge Davies fan, especially with the ST pairing with Altidore (speed and strength combo), but I have to agree Buddle has been on a roll and Davies is still recuperating, so would understand if we go with a Altidore, Ching, Buddle, Gomez (waste of space, rather have another midfielder) and Casey (I hate Casey, but he's probably the fastest of the group so will need him for particular situations) selections.

Oh, whoever is in SF or BA in general, I want to get a "pro-US" group together to watch the games in the city. If anyone is interested, PM me and maybe we can set up a pub day to watch some of the matches, like the Webzone tailgate

OC? I work in Costa Mesa off of South Coast Blvd and Harbor.
But I live in Long Beach. We should try to get some people together to watch a game. I converted my Garage into a Man Cave 49ers style we can chill there or hit a bar.

Nice, we are thinking maybe Mutt's in Newport, we'll see.

Hercules Gomez is a BEAST!!! hopefully he makes it, he deserves it. I hope Paco Torres makes it too. Hes a quality midfielder.
