So far the confirmed European-based players Bradley has called up:

Bocanegra (Fulham)
Dempsey (Fulham)
Onyewu (Newcastle)
Beasley (Man City)
Convey (Reading)

Almost confirmed:

Tim Howard (Everton)

Some reports are saying that we'll only bring in 6 Europe-based players. That means Bradley would leave out guys like Hahnemann (Reading), Spector (West Ham), Demerit (Watford), Cherundolo (Hannover), Hill (Wolfsburg), Feilhaber (Hamburg), Ferrari (Sampdoria) and his son Michael (Heerenveen).

That's a pretty good list of rejects right there.

Well in this case it is acceptable use though... by definistion it's American Soccer.

I'll be back later to complain about it.

 

[ShearerM4]

Good news for us that Onyewu isn't there, as we have a home game 3 days later... shame for him though I guess.

Shame for us. His place on the national team is already established and I'm sure he wants to focus on club football right now.

 

[ShearerM4]

Seems like most of the new movers like Wolff or Beasley have been left out, that would explain it.

I've been very impressed by Beasley so far at City!

 

[Run DMB]

So, only 4 European-based players called up total. Interesting. There are various reasons why so many players were left out (their club is in relegation struggle/fighting for a UEFA Cup spot, or as ShearerM4 pointed out, they're still trying to establish themselves with their new club). Still, it's rather disappointing not having guys like Onyewu, Beasley and Cherundolo for this game.

Here's my guess at the line-up Bradley will use:



-----------------Howard------------------


----------Conrad-------Bocanegra---------
--Albright-----------------------Bornstein--


-----------Clark--------Mastroeni----------
----Dempsey-------------------Convey----


----------Twellman----Donovan------------



Conrad and Boca are competent center backs, but with Albright and Bornstein we're going to get killed down the wings. Otherwise, that wouldn't be a bad line-up. Look for Justin Mapp to come off the bench and kick some ass.

Here's the line-up that Hugo may present.
We still don't know what kind of style he will play, but since he already said that he will win this game, I can see something like this from him:

--------------------Ochoa-------------------

Osorio------Marquez-----Rodriguez-----Salcido

-------------------Pardo--------------------

-------Cuauhtemoc-------Bofo Bautista------

Alberto Medina-------------------Nery Castillo

-----------Bravo/Fonseca/Borgetti-----------


One thing is for sure, with the type of players he called, he will try to control the game completely. The U.S. will need to have people marking in the middle.

With that defense right there Run, while it is interesting, Bornstein would be killed by Medina on the right, and Albright by Castillo on the left. The U.S. might need to try something else.

Don't get me wrong, I've always liked Bornstein's style, but he just doesn't have the physical capacity to mark a fast attacker.

 

[jimorrizon]

take out Ochoa and put San Oswaldo. trust me....lol

ha is that a joke, last comment. you actually think their passing it cause it u-s. yeah right give me a break. Univision is a Spanish Network which = Mexico, simple as that plus its a classic. you want a network that actually shows u-s games even if their retransmited (well most of the time) go to Telemundo....

Just got back from the airport, the players just got here to Phoenix. They were all cool, most of em signed my shirt... except Oswaldo, he acted like a little bitch. Even fu*kin Cuau signed my shirt!!! I ony missed Borgetti, aside from that I got em all. I even said whats up to Martinolli. haha

On a side note, my GF loooooooooooooves Kikin, like you guys have no idea. She was at school tho. I got her to walk outside of her class and Kikin was cool enough to talk to her over the phone. Kikin asked me her name before he talked to her. Kikin... now thats a fu*kin player. My GF was all trembly and nervous sounding after he said bye.

-------------------Pardo--------------------

-------Cuauhtemoc-------Bofo Bautista------

Alberto Medina-------------------Nery Castillo

-----------Bravo/Fonseca/Borgetti-----------

That would be a nice Line up but what i herd from Hugo in DeporTV the most probable line up is this one:

--------------------Oswaldo-------------------

Osorio------Marquez-----Salcido-----Guardado

-----------Pardo------------ Torrado--------

-----------------Cuauhtemoc-----------------

Kikin---------------------------------Nery Castillo

--------------------Borgetti-------------------

A more defensive style , but is his first game so i think is a logical line up, Kikin is going to play like he did in Pumas i dont like him there, but it seems that works for Hugo.

I think Hugo is going for experinced players in the first part of his era as the new coach.
