DaMarcus Beasley (PSV Eindhoven, Netherlands), Bobby Convey (Reading, England), Clint Dempsey (New England), Landon Donovan (Los Angeles), Pablo Mastroeni (Colorado), John O'Brien (Chivas USA), Ben Olsen (D.C. United), Claudio Reyna (Manchester City, England)

Forwards:
Brian Ching (Houston), Eddie Johnson (Kansas City), Brian McBride (Fulham, England), Josh Wolff (Kansas City)

Arena still refuses to even make Adu an alternate..which I guess makes sense..the kid has a big ego now.

Yeah, but he's got sick freakin skills. He's the future leader of our nat'l team, would've been nice to get him the experience this year.

I was a surprised and a bit disapointed that Twellman did not make the 23 man roster. i thought he played better in qualifying than Ching.

eh he's 16...keep him on the U-19 squad for now....put him on the National team when he hits 18.

Tony Meola is going on what, about 50? ;)

In the couple of international friendlies I saw, Twellman was hot, and Wolff could shoot at the ground and miss.
