I would have to agree with that. I really liked what I saw from charlie davies. to me, outside of altidore, he looked like a promising young player that didn't care who or where he was playing. now that he is gone, we need guys like that. I could care less about johnson or ching, because when the lights come on against the best teams they rarely take advantage of the little opportunities that they get. I hope bradley leave both of those guys off the 23 man roster(and beasley dare i say bocanegra). being a striker isn't easy. some games you get one or two touches in the box and those moments make or break the game. I like dempsey and altidore's ability to play in the box and score goals with minimal touch. They have shown that ability in big games. the world cup comes down to goals. you aren't going to hold everyone scoreless...so you have to score. In 1998 and 2006 we got 2 goals and an own goal combined. In 2002 we got more than that in one game at times. goals are a team effort though. you have to create the scoring chance...and our midfielders have rarely been good enough to hold the ball long enough..in a world cup against the best teams. so this is why it appears that guys like dempsey, donovan, and altidore are inconsistent at times because they just can't get the ball. hopefully that changes this time.
