Message: [QUOTE="ZooCougar, post: 1876400, member: 296"] Nagbe definitely PO'd Jurgen. Look for the paid MLS media to skewer him for this omission. Frankly, the guy had a good season last year. This year he wasn't that great. I saw him in person in late July and he looked really bad, even with Diego Valeri feeding him balls. So I really don't see this as any kind of an omission that would hurt anything. I was listening to Counterattack the other day and Brian Dunseth actually made a good point for a change. Jurgen calls in guys that play for good teams. Portland won MLS Cup last season, but didn't even make the playoffs this year. Every MLS on this list plays for a team that at least made the playoffs. The most stunning call up is Graham Zusi, who was terrible for Kansas City this year. In fact he only looked good against Guatemala the Copa warmups and some of his sub appearances in the Copa America. I think he is like Jurgen's comfort blanket. [/QUOTE]
