Rumor is that Bill Hamid is getting called in for the Mexico camp(?), or at least whispers are out there. That could be cool.

Might as well. No sense in wasting a friendly on Hahnemann.

That would be nice. I was referring more to the fact that under the new regime we should reset all roster status expectations.

I know, it was a [bad] joke based on the fact that everyone wants to pretend that we have an actual, physical "B" team.

Perpetually injured.

Hey, did you wake up this morning and think "Man, I wonder what's new with Eddie Johnson's personal life?" No, of course you didn't, that's stupid. But here you go anyway, to keep you entertained until the roster announcement later today.

I don't know if he'd be a "surprise" but I'd like to think we'll see Herc.

Jozy needs to do everything he possibly can to secure playing time with AZ and therefore should not be allowed to leave Holland

If Jozy doesn't start, I don't think he gets called up. At least, he shouldn't. The kid needs to learn how to self-motivate.

It is probably just because the season is starting for Alkmaar very soon.

Fredua.

I'm gonna reserve judgment of Klinsi's decisions until a couple games down the road. He's allowed to pick whomever he wants to get a feel for them. But DMB shouldn't be getting callups anymore after that. Do you think he called in Orozco (when the hell did he add the Fiscal on, anyway?) because he's already in Philly?

I see a distinct lack of Bornstein and Klijsten, so consider me pleased.

I think some of the European based guys got a pass as favors to their clubs / give them a chance to settle (Jozy at a new one).

Glad to see him bring in some people who were locked out by Bradley. Really glad Shea is there. I don't mind him taking a punt on a few throwbacks, especially since we're missing a few of the regulars who need the rest. Shook it up more than I expected.

Clark is just there as stadium security i.e. safely escorting Mexican strikers into the 18 yard box.

I remain skeptical of Klinsy from a tactical standpoint, but it's very apparent he's familiar with the US Soccer landscape. Major plus there.

Love the call-ups as a whole. Meaningless game, so take a flyer on a bunch of guys and see what's what.
