The focus now turns to Copa America.

Here are my thoughts after the U23's lost and some players filtering to the Copa America team:

Horvath could very well be the third keeper.

Morris will have to show in MLS from here on out that he should be on the team

Rubio Rubin could Very well get the last midfielder spot now that he is healthy again. But he will have to show well for Utrecht the last month.

I don't see either Miazga nor Parker beating out the current selections at CB.

Mix is out right now for me.

Here is my predicted 23 right now:

GK: Horvath, Howard, Guzan

Defense: Yedlin, Cameron, Birnbaum, Brooks, Gonzo, Besler, Shea, Castillo

Midfielders: Bedoya, Bradley, B-man, Jones, Zusi, Nagbe, Pulisic, Fabian

FWDS: Deuce, Wood, Altidore, Zardes

In the hunt:

Villafana, Yarbrough, Rubin, Morris, Williams, Finlay, Ngyuen, Wondo

Omg so what lets move on... Say we don't get of group stage next thread now lets move on to Russia.
First and foremost Gulati and Klinnsman have to go yes they have done some good things but done more bad than good. It's time for a change about 80% of american soccer fans think so i have no idae why this site still supports hi, i been to several us soccer site's including mls and at least 90 out of 100 comments are against klinssman gotta say this is the biggest pro Jurgen site in the world probably which is embarrassing cause there are only like 25 users lmfao...

I could see Miazga taking that last CB spot. I dont think you need 5 of Birnbaum, besler, Brooks, Omar, Cameron. Just 4. I think Chelsea may turn to the young guys and if Miazga starts getting minutes with Chelsea I'l think he'll at least be in consideration for the backup CB spot.

Still think if we bring that midfield group we dont make it out of the group. Zusi & Beckerman should be no where near this roster.

Are you still whining about Klinsmann and Gulati? The MLS site is full of the same whiny fans.

You're the typical millennial that can't handle different opinions. Do you need a safe zone?

As for the roster, I sure hope to see some of the younger guys there. Even if it's just a few. Would love to see Finlay possibly get a shot, he has looked bright in his very short time with the team. Horvath would be nice, but that last spot will go to Hamid, Johnson or even Rimando. Let's not kid ourselves.

Here's what I would like to see:

Guzan/Howard
Yedlin - Cameron - Brooks - Shea
Beckerman
Bradley - Nagbe
Finlay - Dempsey - Johnson

COYB!!

I gave up on Chandler after his 10th bad game in a row for USMNT despite his pedigree, but I think there's a decent chance he's at Copa.
