Of all the players that are listed above none of them play top quality soccer besides for torres.
I have a feeling that cooper and findley will be called in sometime this summer.

So team A is who? What I want to know if Bob Bradley is going to go all out for the Confederations Cup? We need this cup more then anything. As a fan I would love to see the US win the Confederations CUP or try at least. Please! We need to send the Seniors and young talent to play together. By sending a Senior and young talented team to this cup would help the US chemistry build and make them a more competitive team for the world cup in 2010. Think about it the US could win or lose or tie against Brazil and Italy, Egypt the US has to win.But that would make the US better. The world Cup is one year alway, we need games like these to help the US build. Forget the Concacaf!!! The US own’s it. Theire is no competitions here, Mexico is done with and canada is France’s rejects. So who is in the A team for the Confederations cup?

You guys also forgot to mention how El Salvador is trying to call up every single Salvadorean American that plays in MLS

Most of the mentioned players can still opt to play for their other country if they get called since they saw action in friendlies.

As far a Bradley being cynical , I doubt that’s the case he is just taking advantage of his vast talent pool .He is not forcing the players to play he is just giving them a shot its up to them to make it work.

For example ,Michael Orozco has not been a full fledged starter with San Luis ,why would Bradely call him ?

More of it by Bradley in my book. The other countries have no problem stealing a player from us and will continue to do it. There are those in the soccer world who will do anything they can to keep the US from becoming a power in soccer.

Honestly,

I think this has more to do with American soccer system than IGNORES players who don’t play AYSO or club soccer. Our national side is made of the same type of players that play the same type of style.
We will always lose players, but Subotic was and is a black eye for American soccer. Castillo wanted to play here but he was too small. LOL!

We need more color, style, and flair from our youth players. That’s not going to happen in our current course of action.
