EDIT: Admittedly it's tough to rate these younger players (see: Green, Julian) but if you're going to be upset about Gonzalez you better be happy about Tillman.

Why wouldn't we?
 
What's his story? If he's on pace to get a real look from the German fed, why switch?

Frankly, no idea. He's not been a "true" starter for the German youth teams but he gets PT and a lot of call-ins. Could be as simple as family pressure. His father's a serviceman and as previously mentioned his brother is pretty solidly in the US youth picture. He's a nice piece and yet another promising piece in attack. If they all pan out, there is oodles of high-potential attacking players in our youth ranks. Wright, Carleton, Sargent, Keaton Parks (gets first-team minutes for Benfica in the , tho more as a CDM like McKennie), Weah (should he not switch now that George is the Liberian president), now Tillman, and the 2001-born striker Konrad de la Fuente at Barcelona.

If you look at the number of 21 yr olds & unders attached to big clubs, we might have a shot at the whole thing in our lifetime. It's an exciting time, however tainted by the dinosaur that is Bruce and the "traditional" process

There's some good news for today to lessen the loss of Gonzalez: Timothy Tillman, a German U-20 prospect, has switched allegiances to the United States. Plays for Bayern at the club level.
USMNT news: Bayern's Timothy Tillman ready to join U.S. U-20 team, says Tab Ramos | Goal.com

He's HIGHLY rated by both Bayern and the German National setup. Sees a lot of time with Bayern II (their U-23's) already. Didn't think we'd even sniff him after he played some German U-20 Euro qualifiers in September. This is a major, awesome, and unexpected turnaround. Has a younger brother also in the Bayern youth system that's part of our national setup already.

EDIT: Admittedly it's tough to rate these younger players (see: Green, Julian) but if you're going to be upset about Gonzalez you better be happy about Tillman.

Guess we gotta blame this on Arena too, right zoo? :rolleyes:

Cyle Larin signs with Besiktas. That would be cool, a UConn guy play against Bayern Munich. Here's an article about Orlando's reaction.

Sounds more like it wasn't a valid contract he signed with Besiktas and they paid off Orlando so Orlando wouldn't take them to court. Or they didn't want to go to court to figure out if it was valid or not. Larin is a bit of a dik.

Tim Chandler looked good today.

Tim Chandler almost always looks good in the Bundesliga. How many shots to look good in the red, white and blue does anyone deserve? I'm fine either way with the next coach wanting to call him up or having nothing to do with him.

At least as many as Darlington Nagby.
 
How many caps has Chandler had in the current cycle? Not that many by my memory. That game against Honduras was 5 years ago this week. It was bad. He was bad. It was also a midweek game in central america coming straight from a german winter.

He has probably been our best option at several points over the last 4 years. Oh well.

Dan, you are pretty much wrong about everything yet you persevere. Dilly Dilly!

I was wrong about Chandler having more caps than Nagbe??? Maybe you should give Google a try before you claim victory, clown...
 
Not since Arena took over. Which was the point.
 
Yedlin is getting burned all over the field against ManU. He doesn't look like he belongs
