Good now she wont take up a roster spot in the Olympics. But it will be sad to see her go. Will always remember her goal against Brazil in the World Cup.

Thank god. Was scared that she'd try to force her way onto the Olympic squad for a minute there.

Anyone seen the Miazga love from Euro scouts? Kid needs to be capped asap. Honestly should be on the roster tomorrow

I know we like to get ahead of ourselves whenever there's a dual-national player, but seriously, cap this kid now. He obviously has some pull to Poland, no need to even risk losing him. Not like we don't need the help at CB anyways....

Not overly impressed with the roster. This was the perfect chance to bring in plenty of new faces since they're playing weaker competition and he chose not to do so.

I didn't even know Miazga was a dual national. Even more important that we called him up. And why is Beckerman still getting called up?

More like why is Gordon still getting called up? Agudelo, Davies, Sapong, Mullins and even Wondo would have been better choices.
Also when will Shipp get called up?

I would have called up a ton of youth....Miazga, Kiesewetter, Hyndman, Gil, Steffen, Agudelo, etc.

Beckerman's still here because Jurgen has refused to bring in Kitchen, Trapp or whoever and we don't have a replacement for him.
Only really two of those guys are even remotely ready for a call (Miazga and Agudelo). Gil has been awful for RSL, Hyndman doesn't play for Fulham and Hamid is well ahead of Steffen. Kiesewetter, maybe, but I haven't seen enough of him to make a decision.

Kitchen and Trapp still have their playoffs to focus on. Nagbe and Miazga are unique cases. Hamid is a 3rd string Goalkeeper, so it won't matter.
I would add to the list of Miazga and Agudelo, Harry Shipp. His ball control and speed are much needed in that US squad. We all saw what Jones can bring as LW...
Plus, Marseille had an interest for Shipp in the past so it would help him get more exposure.

Seems a little weird but not overly upset about it. Kids at that age should focus more on ball skills than heading anyways.
Better at that age to develop technical skills anyway, also most kids that age I think are afraid to head the ball anyway, at least I was to be honest
