The reality is the best US talent in terms of players at 2010 WC did not go through the College process. No country in the World developing players and excelling in football with a college system. Just as a point to consider, the US has not even using college players at the U23 level. Check this

We fallin fuh names on a sheet of paper AGAIN

Most of the names that were called for training finished 3rd in a tournament that was hosted in Trinidad where the top 3 finishers qualified for the world cup

The team went to the world cup and while displaying fight and commitment....hardly created more than 5 REAL chances in the 3 games they played

Apart from Khaleem Hyland, not a single one of these players playin any kind of TOP FLIGHT PROFESSIONAL football anywhere on the planet.

Meanwhile.....players at dem age level in CONCACAF playin PROFESSIONAL BALL with top clubs...NOT in de US College system.

But somehow, everybody talkin bout great team, bomb squad, plan and russia and ting 

Sense.

But in light the prospects for the current senior squad its not hard to see why people looking for hope with this bunch.

Plus the U.S. colleges system is currently graduating more players to decent professional leagues than our own PFL.  Julius James, Yohance Marshall, Darryl Roberts and probably Javed Mohammed and few others to come. Even Kevon Neaves went Sweden for a term straight from college.

Not to mention, most of the college players go on and look forward to having a career in what they studied and not in football. While in college, some of these guys can knock good ball.

Glen wasn't a fringe player. Glen was startin up til he get injured. If he wasnt, he was first off the bench. Sealy not getting love either. Sealy playing wicked midfield for San Jose.

Sealy switches to MF, earns starts for San Jose
By Geoff Lepper (MLSsoccer.com)
 
SAN JOSE, Calif. – Seven years later, the legend of Jamil Walker still resounds for San Jose Earthquakes fans.

Walker was a rookie forward in 2003, watching and learning during the regular season while the Quakes piled up 45 goals and a Western Conference regular-season title behind a striker pairing of Landon Donovan and Dwayne De Rosario.

Walker had clocked 365 minutes, all as a substitute, when De Rosario went down with a strained hamstring in the first half of an away-and-home Western Conference semifinal series against the Los Angeles Galaxy.

Quakes coach Frank Yallop tabbed Walker to start the home leg of that series, and he provided an assist and a goal as San Jose scored five times in 75 minutes to pull out a shock 5-4 aggregate victory. He went on to start the Quakes’ Western Conference final win against Kansas City and provided an assist in San Jose’s 4-2 MLS Cup victory against Chicago.

That said, Scott Sealy is no Jamil Walker.

As in 2003, Yallop has made a critical switch to his playoff roster, inserting Sealy – who recorded just five starts and 520 minutes during the regular season – at the playmaking point of his 4-4-2 diamond midfield in place of Khari Stephenson. Sealy started there in the first leg of San Jose's Eastern Conference semifinal series against New York on Saturday, which they lost, 1-0.

The difference? This move isn’t caused by injury, but simply because Sealy has forced his way into the lineup, in Yallop’s view.

“In the last little bit [of the regular season], he’s showed some good tenacity in the middle of the field,” Yallop said. “I think he’s very strong at holding the ball, doesn’t give it away. And he’s got an eye for the goal. I think that Khari has just dropped down a level, and I’m trying to go with players that are in form.”

Still, the move raised eyebrows because Sealy has been known primarily in the MLS as a forward. He played mostly in the midfield, though, while toiling in Israel last season.

“I think putting Scott Sealy into the starting unit for Saturday night was not a gamble, and it proved to not be a gamble because I thought he played well,” Yallop said. “Scott did a nice job in the middle of the park.”

For his part, Sealy feels that fans who remember him from his 2008 stint with the Quakes haven’t got a chance to see his true game this season, thanks to thigh and groin strains that slowed him for much of the year.

“I’m very happy [to be playing],” Sealy told MLSsoccer.com. “As we all know, my year has been very up and down, inconsistent because of the injuries, but I always felt when I was healthy and 100 percent fit, I could help this team. I think if it wasn’t for the injuries, I would have been in there more.”

Although Joel Lindpere and Mehdi Ballouchy caused problems to the Quakes’ defense, Sealy did a credible job of keeping Red Bulls star Rafa Márquez from orchestrating things in midfield as he ordinarily does.

“He wasn’t able to spray balls like he usually does and I think it’s because I didn’t give him time to do so,” Sealy said. “Any time he had the ball, I was up onto him. My main thing playing [in] midfield is to be good on both sides of the ball. Playing forward most of my career, being defensively 100 percent committed is what I’m personally concerned about.

Wha prompt this thread?

He dead or sumting?

retire and de Observer give him some props. on another note.... is the MLS bias when assigning players to certain teams? specifically LA and NY...

Tongue,
            The networks and sports assoc. always want a East/West rivalry in the final. But they only want NY/LA. Exception is dallas in football.

Well I know for a fact regarding them designated players, the team goes after who they want, like in Europe. But players may not want to go other teams or cities.
Otherwise, you get in via trials or being drafted like in the NBA.
