Everyone on this team has roots in either the MLS or college soccer, many in both. They know what the American style of play is, and they will bring a track-back attitude rather than the take-a-professional-foul attitude exhibited by non-American-raised players. Width on the wings is assured with the left foot of Davis and the right foot of Zusi. The centerbacks are tall and physical. Plus, wouldn't it mean so much more for a team of 11 actual Americans to play together and stand up for the national anthem? By the way, for this roster the coach is Jason Kreis.
