While I agree we need to begin integrating younger players we need to do it in an intelligent way that will help the team build towards the 2018 World Cup. A big determining factor is going to be how a many of the young players in Europe progress during the current season, and which players stand out during the next January Camp.

GK: Guzan, Horvath, Hamid

Defense: Yedlin, Cameron, Brooks, Fabian, Miazga, CCV, Villafana

CM's: Bradley, Nagbe, Bedoya, Kitchen, Hyndman, Lleget

Attackers: Pulisic, Wood, Green, Zardes, Morris, Rubin, Gooch

Alternates: Howard, Bingham, Alvarado, Besler, Chandler, Vincent, Acosta, Williams, Canouse, Zelalem, Jozy, Boyd, Gyau, Arriola, Kieswetter, Akale, Dempsey, Jones,

The team needs enough consistency to build off the chemistry we began during the 2015 Gold Cup and the beginning of the Hex while integrating players who can help transition the team. IMO the biggest question marks in the 23 are Hamid, Miazga, Kitchen, & Green. They'll need to be on point if they want to make the team.

If I remember right the gold cup runs later into summer for the off year version. If that is true in 17 good chance it will be MLS heavy like the 2013 version was. I think the only euro based players were Gatt and Holden who both severely injured knees in the tourney/preperation. Gooch who was bouncing around Europe at the time, and Shae who JK had to do a little negotiating with Stoke to keep him after Gatt injury.

Olympics arent a cap tying event. Since he had US eligibility before he turned 21 he can still file a one time switch until he plays for Germany senior team in a WCQ or Euro match
