It's time to let go of the old guys who aren't going to play in 2018...at the same time we need core players who are going to gel. Here's who I'd be looking at on the 23-man...I do realize that some of these guys are currently injured.

If that's the best the US can produce at midfield, won't be doing much beyond qualifying for the WC.

It's a sorry group, at least under current management.

Well I think the squad will get younger but keep in mind the U-23's are also playing now and were all unavailable. I think we'll see a Cameron Carter-Vickers called up to the senior team (as a 17 year old) for qualifiers.

JK is going to have to look more closely at MLS, too. They're a mess all over
