[Czar Jake]

Goalkeepers: Jon Busch (Columbus), Joe Cannon (Colorado), Kevin Hartman (Los Angeles), Nick Rimando (D.C. United)

Defenders: Chris Albright (Los Angeles), Jimmy Conrad (Kansas City), Nick Garcia (Kansas City), Frankie Hejduk (Columbus), Ritchie Kotschau (Colorado), Chad Marshall (Columbus), Eddie Pope (MetroStars), Tony Sanneh (Columbus)

Midfielders: Clint Dempsey (New England), Diego Gutierrez (Kansas City), Justin Mapp (Chicago), Pablo Mastroeni (Colorado), Clint Mathis (Salt Lake), Brian Mullan (San Jose), Ben Olsen (D.C. United), Steve Ralston (New England), Clyde Simms (Richmond, A-League)

Forwards: Brian Ching (San Jose), Alecko Eskandarian (D.C. United), Ed Johnson (Dallas), Mike Magee (MetroStars), Pat Noonan (New England), Taylor Twellman (New England), Josh Wolff (Kansas City)

I stole this information from soccernet.com.

Not an A-team but should be plenty to beat T&T. I thought Donovan was coming back for this game?!?! Hopefully Clint will get the start. I'd like to see Esky and Wolff up front.

Thoughts?

It's interesting that Mathis is playing midfield. I wonder if he will play much midfield this year for RSL. It might make sense considering the lack of wing players we have.

[SoccerPrime]

Well this has come up before. Clint seems to play better in the midfield with Landon. My bet is that Landon and Clint will be a-mids with McBride and Eddie Johnson up front (maybe Brian Ching as well).
Clint says he doesn't playing either at RSL (mid or forward) but since RSL has Andy Williams it makes more sense for Mathis to play up as forward with Kreis.

Richie Kottschau? I'm gonna keep my mouth shut...

Nice to see Esky, Dempsey, and Noonan getting a chance though.

I just have one thing to say: ED JOHNSON! Put in the Ed man and see him score another! The dude is hot right now.

This is just the Training Camp roster, to get MLS players into "match fitness".

European-based players like Donovan are (we hope) in matches every week (or maybe twice a week) and will be raring to go at the Calypso Boys.

I was hoping that we can arrange a friendly with someone like Honduras or Canada; maybe Andy Williams & Jamaica, before the TNT game.

[SoccerPrime]

Considering the USMNT missed cool friendlie against Korea and Sweden already, they better get a few in before the rest of the Hex.

Thanks for that info, I was sort of confused! 😕 :D

I noticed he was reffered to as 'Ed' on the camp list. Has he moved away from 'Eddie' or is someone just trying to be cute?
