Noah Davis: Okay, today we're doing Lightning Round debates, because it's dramatic and I'm running out of ideas. Ryan, will we ever see Chris Wondolowski in a U.S. uniform again?

Ryan O'Hanlon: Oh wow, this is tough, since I don't like answering questions in the actually-answering-the-question sense... but I'll say NO. Maybe he gets a Gold Cup or a January camp call-up again, but being subbed out at halftime is a terrible sign for his future, I''d have to think.

Davis: I don't think we're going to see him with the first team again, but I wouldn't bet against him missing the Gold Cup, which is a lot like saying I think he makes the Gold Cup roster. He might not play much, but it makes sense to bring him on in a leadership/smiley capacity.

O'Hanlon: Yeah, I could see him on a roster, but I could also see him not leaving the bench while on whatever roster that is.

Davis: I just hope the Earthquakes pay the man. Okay, moving on. Next person: Oguchi Onyewu.

O'Hanlon: Barring more injuries, which is almost like saying "if it never rains ever again" I guess, I'll say YES.

Davis: Man, did you know he's 30? That seems really old, writes the 30-year-old behind this keyboard. And I don't think he's coming back. There's too much distance to cover, he's not playing, and the U.S. has other options. Not good options, but options.

O'Hanlon: I did not know he was 30. You are old. He is old, but he's sort-of-playing for Malaga, which means there's something there -- I have no idea what—and something—again, I don't know—that those other options don't have.

Davis: He's not playing but whatever, details. Even if he starts playing, I don't see him jumping past Cameron, Bocanegra, and Gonzalez. And it doesn't make sense to bring Onyewu to the Gold Cup since that should be for younger players getting experience. I realize I made the opposite argument for Wondolowski, but I'm not sure Onyewu is the same type of locker room presence, especially after such a long absence.

O'Hanlon: Character assassination. He has played soccer for Malaga multiple times this season. That is a fact. But, Gonzalez (in only one game) and Bocanaegra (over the past year-plus) haven't done anything near enough to shut the door on anyone. That would be my argument.

Davis: I'm shutting the door on this mini-debate. I'm right, you're wrong. Staying in the back, what about Jay DeMerit?

O'Hanlon: No.

Davis: Why not?

O'Hanlon: He is 33, for one. Two: he's playing in MLS, which doesn't necessarily help. Three: he's not a Klinsmann-type player. Four: He hasn't been called up by Klinsmann. Five: He needs to be manning the sidelines with a bullhorn, anyway.

Davis: I think I agree with you that he's not coming back. The better question, perhaps, is would he help the team if he was on the field. I'm torn there. I actually think he might be perfect besides Cameron.

O'Hanlon: I'd love to see it because I love Jay Demerit. It also seems like it might make sense—organizing madman with the cool-on-the-ball guy with cool hair—but that depends on where Demerit's game is at right now.

Davis: Okay, next: DaMarcus Beasley. I keep reading that he's going to get back on the team. Can we talk about the goal at the 3:15 mark first?

Como se dice "unimpressed" in Espanol? I love watching the Mexican league. No one ever bothers to play defense. It's like the NBA in the 1970s. With, uh, less cocaine, I suppose.

O'Hanlon: He didn't have to pass. I bet he could've just continued dribbling in a straight line all the way into the goal and scored. But also, his other goal in that game was really nice. Controlled the ball with his chest and ripped a waist-high volley into the far post.

Davis: I'm still not impressed.

O'Hanlon: Are you also all McKayla Maroney on Beasley's National Team prospects?

Davis: Exactly. He's also 30. And there's something weird about his stride. And I'm just not sold.

O'Hanlon: I'm not sure I am either. He's never been a conventional-looking player but he has been a good one at times. The U.S. needs some wide players in the team who aren't fullbacks, so I think we'll see him in a US jersey again. I might prefer Gatt and Shea, but I wouldn't be upset about Beasley getting another shot.

Davis: I agree. Final guy: Will Benny Feilhaber make another start with the first team?

O'Hanlon: I think he will, which is maybe a ridiculous thing to say considering I could also see him never again making the roster for a first-team, but he's really good when he's good, and he's so much more creative than, well, basically any other American player.

Davis: Man, I don't know. There are a lot of people in front of him. I could see him as a substitute, but it's really hard for me to see him starting ahead of Bradley, Jones, Williams, Edu, etc.

O'Hanlon: Well, that's sort of why. All of those guys are similar players (this is oversimplifying, but: work hard, win balls, pass balls to someone else, occasionally get on the end of things), and Feilhaber does different things, like, create chances for other players.

Davis: "Creating chances is overrated."—Jurgen Klinsmann, 2013.

O'Hanlon: "That is stupid."—Ryan O'Hanlon, Right Now.

Noah Davis and Ryan O'Hanlon do this every week. Sometimes, there's poutine.
