Nice report here. I mostly agree.

Where's Ballouchy? They've got Besagno on the bottom-listers, but no Ballouchy. Heck, they've even got Marvell Wynne as a potential Dark Horse.

Good question. My guess is that Yanks Abroad has similiar apprehensions that we have, ie that Ballouchy's game for Morocco has made him ineligible for USMNT.

Since these guys are unofficial experts, it wouldn't hurt for someone here to email them and get their take on it.

I noticed Besagno isn't on the U-20 list for the Canada friendlies. That's not a good indicator.

I wouldn't be suprised to see Kyle Beckerman on that list in 2010.

Sorry, prk166, but only in a CRapid fan's wet dream.
Beckerman sucks now just as he has in the past.

Only if Ellinger is the coach.

Good to see that Jay DeMerit made the list, but he should be considered a lock. When Arena brought Pope to Germany and snubbed DeMerit it should have been clear just how clueless Arena is and how short the USMNT time in Germany would be.

Yanks Abroad is being very generous in the number of MLS players it is putting out there, especially since I think Adu is going to play for his country of birth. If Dempsey and Donovan don't go to Europe for a couple of seasons at least and prove they can compete there drop them from the list as well (I'm willing to give Donovan another chance). Merely being annointed by the MLS Marketing Gods should no longer be enough to make the USMNT.

Still no Medhi. I guess we still have a LOT of soccer to play between now and 2009/2010 - so I can be patient.
