Nope, no longer eligible.

Pretty sure he can't now. I don't think you change teams after appearing in any Cup related match.

YANL. Dude was a monster.

That team was held together by Tim Howard and luck for 90+ minutes.

Can't believe Wondo missed that chance at the end of regulation, and that set piece to Dempsey was beautiful (minus the finish).

Bradley had his best game this World Cup. Dempsey on the other hand had his worst. So many missed opportunities in the box, Yedlin and Green should of started all game. Beasler was terrible on that first goal. First he falls and then he blocks Gonzalez so he can't defend the shot. Just terrible play there, and he was late and beat on the second goal too. Bedoya was trash! Didn't do jack s**t as a forward! He shouldn't of been out there at all.

Still a youngish team and should get better. Yedlin and Green are 19-20. Brooks is 21, johansen is 23, Altidore is 24

Dempsey wasn't the same after he broke his nose. I'm not saying he shouldn't have been out there, but he certainly didn't do anything to help the team after that.

Out side of Italy's balotelli and Ronaldo, I can't think of any freak athletes playing in the World Cup.

Spain won the last World Cup and I can't think of a player on that team that could play in the NFL or nba . (Except FG kicker)
