Getting Under Way

With 12 days to go until the US National team is being named, anyone got suggestions?
Going with the 23 Man Format who do you got?
3 Keepers: Howard, Hahnemann, Keller
7 Defenders: Hejduk, Cherundolo, Bocanegra, Oguchi, Pope, Gibbs, Berhalter
9 Midfielders: Donovan, Convey, Beasley, Lewis, Mastroeni, Reyna, Olsen, Albright
4 Fowards: E. Johnson, B. McBride, Twellman, Wolff

After those last few tune ups Olsen deserves a spot. Should it be Wolff over Rolfe? Albright was getting his head on balls against JAM, or should Dempsey have that slot? Hell, should Cobi be on the team? Did I blow it? Let me know...

My initial reaction -- no to Albright. He's only OK on defense and, notwithstanding his ability to get his head near or on the ball on a Donovan cross, he failed to convert any of them. Consistent with his performance when he played either in the midfield or forward for DC United: a problem with finishing.

Forgot to mention O'Brien, does he have a spot? or due to injury is he out?

wolff should not be on the team. lots of aimless running around in recent friendlies. has to be another option- take less forwards and add obrien? way to go on the blog jg!
