USA vs Guatamala

First off, Colorado soccer fans are terrible. I bet there were less than 4,000 people there at the game. What a joke.

Here are the player grades:
Brad Guzan, Thorrington Clarence Goodson, Michael Parkhurst Johnathan Bornstein - 7 - I think the entire defense played well. They showed up, did their job, didn't do anything stupid and didn't allow any goals.

Freddy Adu - 8 - Awesome goal off the free kick in the 69th minute. What a great play by Kjlestan to go over it and what a nice kick by Adu. I personally have never been an Adu fan, simply because he was terrible in his short stint with Real Salt Lake, but the more I watch him on the National team, the more I like him.

Pablo Mastroeni - 6 - Stupid yellow card, won't play in the next WC Qualifier.

Ricardo Clark - 6 - Great feet and good ball movement. Didn't do anything spectacular.

Sacha Kjlestan - 7 - Great work getting forward and back.

Jozy Altidore - 8 - Great work getting open throughout the game. He is so strong and fast and will be a huge threat come WC 2010.

Kenny Cooper - 8 - Great play, should have had a goal in the 31st minute. Glad he scored in the second half. It was a great goal. Cooper now has two goals in three games for the US. How can he not be on every roster? It sure felt like he was playing to earn a regular spot on the team.

Subs:
Brian Ching, Conner Casey, Davy Arnaud - 5 - Didn't do much in the short time they were on the field.

While watching the game I couldn't help but wonder if any Real Salt Lake players would have made the squad had they been knocked out by Chivas. I don't see Beckerman making the team because the midfield was pretty stacked. As much as I hate Ricardo Clark and Mastroeni, I can see why they consistently get chosen - they seem to always play well for the USA. I wonder if Seitz would have made the 18-man roster, and backed up Guzan. I could see Borchers or Russell getting considered, especially basing it on their recent play. Does Yura have US citizenship? Could he have made the camp?

With that said, is it possible for Beckerman, Borchers, Russell, Findley, Seitz to make the team when we have a friendly at Rio Tinto Stadium?
