Olsen Named To 23?

   

Roster leak! SoccerCapitalNews.com are reporting that Ben Olsen has definitely made Arena’s final 23. If this is true, the boy’s probably earned it with some solid performances.

The official roster announcement will be this Tuesday May 2nd at 6 p.m. Eastern, live on ESPN SportsCenter.

    I hope that isn’t true, but Arena always has fancied Olsen.

  • Karl

    I hope it is true. Ben Olsen has been having a great year, and I think it’s safer to bring players to the World Cup who are presently performing well, rather than hoping others will finally rise to the task.

    I too hope it’s true. Olsen is in top form. He scored another goal this weekend, in front of the Bruce himself. I was there. Whoops, I just revealed that I am a DC United partisan. That’s nothing against the other players on the bubble – I guess they are Ching, Noonan, Hejduk, Conrad.

  • Pete

    In my previous post, I listed some players on the bubble. I forgot some. The bubble players seem to be:

    Olsen, Ching, Noonan, Hejduk, Conrad, Berhalter, Zavagnin, Klein, Ralston.

    I can’t imagine there are more than 1-2 spots for this group of 9. I am thinking that Olsen and Ching will make it. That probably makes for some tough decisions on defense – Hejduk, Conrad, and Berhalter, despite major contributions in the last 2 years, might be out of luck.

    seems like a good pick

    good one… olsen was only in for 50 minutes and did more than most of the other players
