Message: [QUOTE="businesslawyer, post: 2269606, member: 55"] The Schalke kids are both in the national team junior pool, and only didn't play this summer because Schalke didn't release them (I'm sure that's MLS's fault as well). When they are ready for the national team, they will get there chance. Is there a chance Arena will be somewhat too quick or too slow to make the first call up? Of course there is. But the theory that Arena is concerned about protecting MLS and not protecting his job and legacy by winning is just bizarre. (By the way -- the two Schalke kids were not yet regular bench players in the Bundesliga. If they step up to that level this year, great. But the US Federation knows what these young men can do.
