This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

USMNT youth movement by wcnitz
This is a no brainer, but I'm glad to see it. This is the prelim roster and will probably changed based on injuries and MLS playoffs.
Guys like Klinsmann, Mckennie, Carter-Vickers, etc. should be getting time right now. There is no benefit in waiting.
edit: Some names from another article:
The headliner of the group is Weston McKennie, a 19-year old regular for Schalke in the Bundesliga, who is arguably the most exciting young American included in the preliminary roster.
Also included, sources tell Metro, are the likes of Tyler Adams (New York Red Bulls), Walker Zimmerman (FC Dallas), Jonathan Gonzalez (Monterrey), Matt Hedges (FC Dallas), Timmy Parker (Vancouver Whitecaps), Matt Miazga (Chelsea), Christian Ramirez (Minnesota United), Lynden Gooch (Sunderland) and Erik Palmer-Brown (Sporting Kansas City).
