Buddle is also a veteran in a camp short on experience. And he certainly knows how JK works and what he wants from players. He’s the new Brian Ching.

Leadership, it is a quality very few USMNT fans understand or care about. They just want their fantasy leagues filled out.

Not surprised to see Kenny Cooper not get a call though, Cooper is very one dimensional, and I don’t think he would fare well at all against world class defenders. He is a big body but he doesn’t have the pace or the intangible
qualities to be effective in international play.

In the end, if everyone was available, this camp would look a lot different, guys like Lade and even Wondo would not be there.
