I can kinda understand leaving Edson and Herc off, as much as that bums me out that they aren't there. They'll be 33 and 32 at the World Cup, respectively. If you are going to bring 3 true forwards (with Clint and Landon capable of playing there as well), who are your three with this in mind?
The Jozy thing is what it is, I don't like that he's still Bob's guy but he's young and conceivably still a part of the long term plan. Agudelo of course belongs there. Then it's Wondo or maybe Bunbury? Kinda surprised Bunbury was left off.
Rogers makes no sense at all, but if Holden was healthy he'd have that spot anyways, you have to think. By all accounts Sacha has been playing well in Belgium, and I don't mind Freddy being back, though I think Bedoya deserves a spot.
No Chandler or Omar really concerns me. It's debatable if Gooch, Boca, et al are better prepared to hold that line down *right now* much less the obvious "no" in 2014. You might say "Well Bradley is going with experience because he wants to win this tournament and worry about shaping the 2014 team afterwards" but then you'd have to explain leaving Edson and Herc off for Wando, as well as Ream getting the call.
I'm not surprised Torres isn't on the roster, but it's another thing to be upset about.
As is with all things Bradley, it makes no damn sense at all and is MAYBE good enough to win, provided they all play above his idiocy.
I am very afraid that I am going to witness a loss to Mexico in the Rose Bowl.
