A Roster Reaction

By Jared Launius

You've likely already seen it, but here's the 24 men called into Jurgen Klinsmann's second U.S. National Team camp:

GOALKEEPERS (2): Bill Hamid (D.C.United), Tim Howard (Everton)

DEFENDERS (9): Carlos Bocanegra (Rangers), Edgar Castillo (Club America), Timmy Chandler (FC Nürnberg), Steve Cherundolo (Hannover), Clarence Goodson (Brondby), Zach Loyd (FC Dallas), Michael Orozco Fiscal (San Luis), Heath Pearce (Chivas USA), Tim Ream (New York Red Bulls)

MIDFIELDERS (9): Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake), Clint Dempsey (Fulham), Maurice Edu (Rangers), Fabian Johnson (Hoffenheim), Sacha Kljestan (Anderlecht), Jeff Larentowicz (Colorado Rapids), Robbie Rogers (Columbus Crew), Brek Shea (FC Dallas), Jose Torres (Pachuca)

FORWARDS (4): Juan Agudelo (New York Red Bulls), Jozy Altidore (AZ Alkmaar), Teal Bunbury (Sporting Kansas City), Landon Donovan (Los Angeles Galaxy)

And here's my token analysis.

I should probably start by calming any sentiment Michael Bradley's exclusion is some sort of coup or indication Klinsmann agrees with some of you that his 60 caps are rooted in nepotism and not merit. This camp convenes at the exact time Bradley hopes to be settling in at a new club (which, Greg Seltzer says, currently looks to be Roma) and Klinsmann himself acknowledged as much when the roster was announced. I remember reading in several places that Klinsmann favors Bradley, and I have little doubt he is viewed as a crucial cog going forward. If you truly think Klinsmann favors Jeff Larentowicz over Bradley, lie off Big Soccer for a few days.
