You'll get to watch two better teams in a likely exciting game. Not too bad. Also you can probably tailgate with American fans, I don't think anyone takes the "rivalry" that seriously.

Turns out we're going to play Belgium in a closed door warmup game in Brazil before the tournament starts. We could potentially meet them in the second round so that's kind of weird.

a) we want the us to come in 2nd in the group 'cause that's a much cooler list of cities to visit in the subsequent rounds regardless of who advances past round 2
b) it's okay, robodonovan is here

30-man training camp roster comes out today. As far as fringe players go:

- Kljestan not coming (not really a surprise)
- Tim Ream not coming (kind of a surprise given the season he had at Bolton/lack of sound backline depth)

No terrible surprises so far. No Brek Shea is for the best.

I had an effort post worthy paragraph on why Mix Diskerud SHOULD HAVE BEEN included until my reading skills caught up.

e: Parkhurst > Yedlin imo

Calling out his coworkers last week wasn't helping much.

Yedlin's not gonna make the final plane--and man was he particularly poor yesterday--but he's a "2018, son, all this can be yours" call. Brooks and Green are too, but are more likely to ship out.

1) since when is DaMarcus Beasley a defender?

2) how the gently caress will DaMarcus Beasley soon have made it onto the pitch at four seperate world cup finals?

i love lamp.
Brek would be on if he had gotten any minutes recently. The guy ruined his shot by melting down on every team he's been on recently.

Evans and Yedlin are surprises. I would have called up Ream before Yedlin. Evans has just looked awful lately. But they may be part of that seven. I'll be curious to see if Boyd makes the final cut. No way Wondo makes it.

Since Klinsmann theorized the advantages of putting Fabian Johnson at left mid outweighed the disadvantages of putting Beasley at left back
