How I'm lining up against Ghana
Jozy
Donovan - Dempsey - Zusi
Bradley - Jones
Johnson - Besler - Gonzo - Cameron
Howard
Bedoya for Zusi around the 65th after a shift of HARD WORK WORK
Boyd for Jozy if he gets tired
AJ for Jones if we need a goal
Beckerman for Dempsey if we need to kill the game

Bummed not to see GAM included, I thought he was pretty important in qualifying and always seemed to provide a nice spark when he was used as a sub. He was one of the few players we had who seemed confident enough to run at a defender, and I think that helped open up room for other players to score.
Cause it came off with a "he plays in ingerland so he should be in the 23 vibe".

You can do whatever makes you happy, the fact remains the same. Championship > MLS. I can understand JK wanting domestic players in the squad but there is plenty of US

It 'proves' that he is at a mid table club and hes as good as if not better than most 'elite' level MLS players.
Seriously, youre being deluded.
Jermaine Defoe is the best player in the MLS, and then according to your team of the year its the likes of Robbie Keane and other players dragging out their careers like Tim Cahill. If Dempsey and Donovan are your best players then your elite is definitely inferior to the Championship.

So who would you say is better in the Championship?

Probably more than I can mention but just a few of the top of my head:
Tom Ince
Kasper Schmeichel
Shaun Wright Philips
Benoit Assou-Ekotto
Junior Hoilett
Danny Ings
Will Hughes
Thats not even mentioning all the loan players.

I cant even tell if this was you trolling.
I can't even decide which side of this issue I want to troll.

Come on, dude. I'm not sure if Schmeichel would be in the top 3 of MLS goalies. Nick Rimando would easily be the #2 for England.

Tom Ince plays in the PL now soooooooooooo

And yes Schmiechel, Leicester first choice and also the national keeper for Denmark.
And Nick Rimando the second keeper for England? Give it a rest, in what world is he better than Fraser Forster? Or Ruddy? Or even Foster?

Shaun Wright Philips is probably on par with the likes of Tim Cahill, Robbie Keane, Landon Donovan etc. and if you cant see that well that sucks to be you.

Haha nice try.
Some trolling is obvious, but some people are just dumb. This isnt directed at you yankee, just this thread in general.

Yeah I was piss taking there.
I think MLS = Championship, I'm not going to blow it out of proportion or anything. But ask me again in 5 years when NYCFC has it's feet on the ground and we'll see where it sits. Ultimately it's a really hard thing to judge anyhow; stats don't transfer over well from league to league (Despite whoscored having detailed stats for both MLS and the ship), and not many players have played in both. I could give you some flimsy antecdote about how Will Packwood plays for Birmingham but can't crack the US side at 20 years old, or about Spector, or whatever, but it's a double edged sword. Kinda hard to compare leagues when there's no intercontinental competition at all that the Championship sides can enter (and that the MLS have a chance of winning ever). We do know Liga MX is a lot better than MLS both competitively and fanbase wise, and in turn probably the Brasil Serie A, so there's something.

I'm not sure how you think this. I'll try not to be a douche in this post, but it's so hard when you say shit like this...
Over six and a half years in the Premier League, Dempsey made 268 appearances and scored 72 goals, including three decent runs in Europe. Please, please tell me how that makes him anything but Premier League quality.

It's okay, dude, you've obviously never seen Rimando play. The answer is a resounding yes.

The guy is playing behind Howard, before that kella, before that Freidel. Hard to blame a guy when he's facing that sort of competition. Victor Valdes has only been capped 20 times, does that mean anything?
I'm honestly not trolling you. Rimando is really good. I would be completely comfortable if he had to play in the World Cup. How many countries can say that about their #3 goalie?
