Bob Bradley has named the roster for the September 5 clash with El Salvador in Rio Tinto Stadium in Salt Lake City. It is a decent lineup, but the question is, will he field the best 11 or continue to trot out Brian Ching.
GOALKEEPERS: Brad Guzan (Aston Villa), Tim Howard (Everton).
Why is Guzan the number 2? I don't get it. Timmy, please stay healthy.
DEFENDERS: Carlos Bocanegra (Rennes), Jonathan Bornstein (Chivas USA), Steve Cherundolo (Hanover), Jay DeMerit (Watford), Clarence Goodson (Start), Chad Marshall (Columbus), Oguchi Onyewu (AC Milan), Jonathan Spector (West Ham).
Bradley needs to recognize the poor flank play by both Carlos Bocanegra and Steve Cherundola against Mexico and to adjust by utilizing Jonathan Spector on the right and pushing Bocanegra centrally (or to the bench) and starting Jonathan Bornstein at left back. And keep Marshall and Goodson on the bench, please.
MIDFIELDERS: Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake), Michael Bradley (Moenchengladbach), Ricardo Clark (Houston), Clint Dempsey (Fulham), Benny Feilhaber (Aarhus), Stuart Holden (Houston), Robbie Rogers (Columbus), José Francisco Torres (Pachuca) .
I'm sick of Kyle Beckerman and his stinky, white-guy dreds. With so much talent, why does Bradley keep getting it wrong? I'd like to see Holden or Torres get a start. We need to stop being so conservative and throw some of these talented kids out there.
FORWARDS: Jozy Altidore (Hull City), Conor Casey (Colorado), Brian Ching (Houston), Charlie Davies (Sochaux), Landon Donovan (Los Angeles), Robbie Findley (Real Salt Lake).
Really, with Donovan in the midfield, who else would you put out there if you weren't blinded by your love of thick, clumsy "holding" forwards. It's got to be the Charlie 'n' Jozy show. Doesn't it?
