Poll Time: Which player do you want to see capped by the USMNT?
October 7, 2010 (6:25 PM) by Matt
With the US likely giving three players (Jermaine Jones, Brek Shea, Eric Lichaj) their first cap with the USMNT either on Saturday or Tuesday, which uncapped player (looking at European-based players only) would you like to see Bob Bradley give a chance in the near future?
I know you said European-based players only Matt, but the one player who I would most like to see called up is Miguel Angel Ponce from Chivas (the Mexican version). He is 21 years old and is already turning into a star in Mexico. The only place this young defender’s career is going is up. He could be better right now than either Licaj or Williams.
The reason he should be capped sooner rather than later is because there is a real and legitimate chance he will be called up by Mexico first. There are concerns that the narrow-minded powers that be at Chivas would let him go if he decided to play for the American senior team. He has a good thing going there and likely does not want to ruin it, but I tend to think he’s good enough to find another quality club very soon if Chivas doesn’t want him. Would like to hear Howie’s take on this, if he’s out there…
New faces please. Is good to se Gale and Diskerud in the list. I would like to see Tony Taylor in the mix. We need to bring in this kid!
