A bit late, but oh well.....

Ouma, Dempsey can afford to be slow with the style Liverpool plays. As for him playing Striker it's just not his place, he doesn't score as well as he passes. Even the US doesn't use him as a striker and they shouldn't start either. Clint is definently a solid performer, he's consistant, more so than Beasley and Donovan. McBride remains the top American to ever play over seas but I think in time Adu, Altidore, and Bradley will surpass him.

Kuyt has to stay no player works harder and he has been playing right wing and still scored vital goals.

Alonso can go for Garth Barry
Bentley for Pennant/Benny
Kewall can FO!

Kuyt is soooo inconsistant though. There are times when he has great chances and doesn't put them away. Kuyt doesn't work well with Torres, Crouch, or Voronin...he isn't worth what they are paying him.

I would keep my eyes on Michael Bradley playing in the EPL in the near future, he scored 19 goals for Heerenveen and it was his first year playing in Europe.

You need to watch Fullham next season for Eddie Johnson...he's fucking awesome when he's fit. He's fast as hell and he can put the ball away very well. He's like the American version of Drogba....I mean he's not going to score anywhere near as much as Drogba but when he's healthy he's really damn good.

I don't know about anyone else but I am looking forward to the Olympic soccer matches. I hope the US can do well....they should start doing a lot better with the young talent they have.

Bradley I thought was going to Everton. That's probably a good spot for him.
