Another game, another 90 where the Red Bulls roll over regular national team caliber players. First Villa, Pirlo, Lampard, Mix, now Giovinco, Bradley, Altidore. Maybe it's about time JK looks in Harrison, New Jersey for some players.

Aside from Kljestan there's no one I'd even kinda consider in NY to play for the USMNT aside from some of the throw away qualifier games. NYRB's best individual player is English. Their best American player is probably Robles, who has a 0.0% chance of playing over Guzan, Howard, Hamid, Johnson, Yarbrough, etc.

McCarty has been the best dmid in the league this year and is easily better than Beckerman, who for some reason remains in the side. Both American midfielders are better than Mix. He might be a better long term asset, but we have to beat Mexico in two months.

Miazga is the guy on this roster who is going to be a USMNT player in the future. He's probably not ready for the big time, but he's been excellent this season and was a fixture for the U-20's. I've already accepted the fact he'll be Europe bound shortly.

I don't think Beckerman will be back. JMO. But the reason he's been picked is cause he's one of Klinsmann's men. He was there for the first match.

Jermaine Jones will be the CDM vs. Mexico.

Assuming health, this is my assumed lineup vs Mexico

GK - Guzan
LB - Shea
CB - Cameron
CB - Brooks
RB - Chandler
CDM - Jones
LM - Bedoya
RM - Johnson
CAM - Bradley
ST - Dempsey
ST - Jozy

Now of course who knows what will happen with Howard vs Guzan. Also Klinsmann has been all over the place with defensive players. I think he has to play YEdlin or Johnson at mid though. Our wide mid talent is really weak right now. That's why developing Green and Gyau is so crucial.

Also Miazga may be a long term play, but with the US already having in CBs under 26 Gonzalez, Brooks, ALvarado, and Carter-Vickers as top shelf talents, he's gonna have to really shine to have a shot at very regular PT. Gonna be nice having a log jam at CB finally. Seems like it's been a massive issue for a decade
 
Speaking of MLS and a lack of respect, was this website created solely to troll MLS fans?

The top of the ranking certainly make sense Barca, Madrid, Juve, Munich, etc. But then you scroll through the pages and don't find an MLS team - LA Galaxy - until #341, sandwiched in between teams from South Africa and Iran. Behind pro teams from such soccer powerhouse leagues like Moldova, Israel, the Ivory Coast, Angola, among others. Are these people kidding me, or am I supposed to believe that a team with Giovani Dos Santos, Steven Gerrard, Robbie Keane, Omar Gonzalez, and Gyasi Zardes is nearly 100 spots below Esteghlal FC, who finished 6th in the Iranian league?
 
I'm with you there. That list is insanely dumb. They have Rosenburg just below Hoffenheim, West Ham, etc. Now I know they're currently winning the Tippeligaen, but winning that doesn't even get you automatic group stage birth in UCL, it doesn't even get you automatic birth to the final playoff round.

If you look at Rosenborg, you see no one, cause they're a crap team. You put them up in a head to head match with any MLS team I bet MLS wins.
 
US U-23 roster is so awesome. Well I guess there will still be some cuts (it's at 24 I think they go to 20)

GK - Cropper, Horvath, Steffan. DOnt' know much about Horvath other that he plays for Molde, aka the US team of Denmark. But Cropper and Steffan get me excited. I used to be pro Cropper, but after watching Steffan play I'm pro Steffan now long term.
DF - Carter-Vickers, Miazga, Miller, Okwuonu, O'Neill, Packwood, Serna, Sorto. Really excited for Carter-Vickers, cannot let him join England. Kid could be special.
MF - Ariyibi, Gil, Hyndman, Joya, Pelosi, Polster, Trapp, Zelalem. Really ecxited with the central mids (Gil, Hyndman, Trapp, and Zelalem)
FW - Hernandez, Kiesewetter, Rodriguez, Rubin, Tall, admittingly I know less about most of this group other than I hope Rubin is as good as advertised.
 
When healthy, I think Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is one of the best all-around players in the EPL. Love that dude, such a beast. Hopefully Wenger leaves him in the starting lineup for now on.

No.

His talent has been touted for a long time. He was always injured like Wilshere but unlike Jackie boy he has a brain. He has such breakaway speed and he just runs over guys or pushes them out of the way like he doesn't give a damn. And his passing is extremely underrated also.

nd
Ox has talent, but off the top of my head, more talented/better Premier League outfield players, Hazard, Aguero, Costa, Fabregas, SIlva, Sanchez, and that's totally minimal for sure better players.
 
Cesc isn't really the player he was. Wenger could've brought him back for pennies on the dollar from Barca but he didn't. Hazard is obviously amazing.

Injuries have set back Ox 2-3 years. When he comes into his own he's going to be the best player on Arsenal. That includes Ozil and Sanchez.

Didn't Fabregas lead the premier league in assists last year?
