This is a very exciting roster with tons of youth. Bob continues to impress me more and more by integrating talent at the necessary times brilliantly. We are developing all of this young talent and it was clearly time to bring them in, now it is time to mesh them with some of the vets and try to start winning fixtures, friendly or not.

What do you think about the roster? Who are you most excited to see?

More on this later.

    No Landon Donovan! Yes! I still believe that Donovan is one of the most talented Americans, but it’s good if he feels his position is not guaranteed. It will bring out the best performance in him.

    @Bram. I’m assuming that Donovan got left off because his team is still in playoff contention. The only MLS players called up play for eliminated teams (TFC and RSL).

    I’m most looking forward to seeing Szetela, Zizzo, and Feilhaber play.

    I’m least looking forward to seeing Eddie Lewis play. I hope he’s just there as a back-up and a steadying veteran influence. Because, well, he’s 33 and not likely to play a major role in Olympic or WC qualifying.
