USA Qualifying Roster Announced

August 14th, 2008 | By: Carter Daly | 7 Comments »

Fresh from Bob Bradley’s brain to your desktop screen…

GOALKEEPERS: Tim Howard, Brad Guzan.
DEFENDERS: Steve Cherundolo, Oguchi Onyewu, Carlos Bocanegra, Heath Pearce, Frankie Hejduk, Jay DeMerit.
MIDFIELDERS: Michael Bradley, Maurice Edu, Sacha Kljestan, Pablo Mastroeni, Eddie Lewis.
FORWARDS: Landon Donovan, Eddie Johnson (Not Kenny Cooper), Brian Ching (Not Kenny Cooper), Clint Dempsey.

Uh oh. There is no Kenny Cooper on that roster. Duck and cover.

In addition to that simple omission that is sure to make many a USMNT fan’s head explode, this roster is a little on the weak side. Three defensive midfielders are enough Big Bob. Unless you’re planning play your son like he was back in the Dutch league so he can ring up 18 goals again. And call me crazy, but I just don’t see it playing out that way. Of course, the tweener boys of Landon Donovan and Clint Dempsey can handle their weight in the middle of the pitch. Oh, and there’s no Kenny Cooper on this roster.

No Adu? No Altidore? No Beasley? Does Eddie Johnson have blackmail photos of Bob Bradley? I just don’t understand this.

Man, I hate being so critical all of the time, but it is so hard to hold back.
Is anybody impressed by Sacha? He had a Great goal against the dutch, but otherwise he was the human turnover in the midfield.
Is Frankie H really our best option at right back?
All I can hope is that Bob is trying to spread the burden of national team duty around MLS and not trying to burden any one team too much. Like taking Sacha, but leaving Bornstein. Taking Edu, but leaving Wynn. Taking EJ, and leaving Kenny Coo…wait, my mistake. Taking Chi…nope, that doesn’t work either. Sorry, I can’t figure it out. Baaaaab! Ju hav som splainin to do!

Adu and ALtidore are at new clubs, so it makes sense they weren’t called up. Kenny Cooper is still being neglected. Sacha looked very scrapy, but almost looks nervous compared to his normal self at chivas. He just needs to settle down. The exclusion of Beasley is probably that new injury he got.

Eddie Johnson? Again? Bob, will you please give freakin’ Kenny Cooper a chance?
