Twellman will make, at the expense of possible Wolff and a unhealthy EJ.

But that's TT in the MLS, not with the nats. He hasn't exactly impressed when he's played with the nats, has he? He had a nice performance against Norway. But IIRC before that he only had a goal in 5 games. And he didn't get much a look until the US had nearly locked up the spot. I'm not saying he's a crap player. I'm just saying I'd take Wolf. He's got the experience and the skill. Can Taylor do that? Maybe some of his torubles in teh past were cuz of the injuries he's had and youth. He turns 26 this year. Maybe his time has come. But from my armchair, if I had to choose between the two, it would be Josh.

Man, I love the way Germans say "Kasey Keller" like it's the horrifying chorus of a Rammstein song. (GS)

I like it! 🙂

Notice, the only recent roster predictions that forcast Ching on the roster are from Houston.

World Cup roster, eh? Too bad Tarley plays for Liberia cuz by the Houston folks logic, players that are good at scoring 4 goals in a game against the Rapids should go to the World Cup. 😁
