Flores will train periodically with Dortmund but will move over in March 2014. Kids got some serious talent, was a force to be reckoned with last year in the Nike International Friendlies.

Flores is from my home state of VA. He used to play high school for a single A school and in the state tourney last year his school beat a team from my district 8 nil. I should've made the trip to Radford to see him play.

This site asked 10 soccer analysts (including Twellman, Wahl and Lalas) to rank the top 100 American soccer players. Pretty interesting list. |
Interesting. A healthy Holden would be top 10. At this point Agudelo shouldn't even be on that list. Trying to think of any potential omissions but none come to mind.

John Anthony Brooks is one that pops out to me.

I watch a decent amount of MLS and Justin Morrow is the best LB in the league and deserves to be on there over a guy like Omar Salgado who has done absolutely nothing to warrant a spot on there.

I wish he would go there now. Our academy system (and residency) is a joke, the only way to catch up is to send our top talents over to Europe ASAP so they actually develop.

He's playing better now, but I can see why Klinsmann didn't call him in, he really struggled last season.

Looks like Eddie Johnson will be called up for the next two qualifiers.

Thank you to the Seattle Sounders and my teammates family and friends for believing in me when everyone else didn't. #igotthecallupguys |
Good for him, he deserves it.

With EJ getting called up I can see Boyd being left off this squad.

Landon injured last night and could be out for WCQ's.  Shea also out and Jones has missed the past couple games with an ankle injury
Without Landon and Jones my team would be:
Subs: Goodson, Torres, Parkhurst, Guzan, Castillo, Edu, Pontius

There were rumors of DaMarcus Beasley getting the call due to both Shea and Gatt being out with injuries.
Wouldn't mind Beasley TBH, we need some veteran experience for these two games, especially if Landon can't go (Beas and EJ would fit that bill).

Looks like it's Jozy.

Hearing Jozy Altidore has not been called into US camp despite co-leading Dutch league in goals. |

That's just stupid. Why not leave out Dempsey and Howard while we're at it?
