Has anyone ordered the authentic version of the new jersey? How does it fit? Looks very tight in the pictures.

If it's anything like the authentic Waldo jersey, I would size up. I ordered a large which is what I wore in everything else (including previous us replica jerseys) and it fit like a second skin. Shortly after that, they put a warning on the web site about sizing for those, and then stopped selling them altogether.

So now pick (the non-competitive) 7.

Here's mine:
Chandler, Evans, Yedlin, Corona, Davis, Wondo, Boyd

Evans will totally go. Klinnsi loves him.

But he's been playing like crap lately, right? I guess that's what training camp/friendlies are for.

I'd edit Boyd for Jozy if I thought it would actually happen.

That depends what you mean by lately, but he only played one full game before going out with injury in mid-March, which is why he missed the US-Mexico friendly. He's been back for maybe 3 full games now? He hasn't been particularly good since returning, but he's also been playing at LB due to other injuries, which clearly isn't his position.

The problem is that Klinnsman gets breathing room by playing guys like Donovan. If we crap out without LD, people will say that JK just jumped the shark and blew it, but if the USMNT blow it with him, it's 'the best we had.' I am not fuming over LD being left out, but really, the other guys on this squad are not really a draw for me. I really don't care about Dempsey, so it just looks like a group of misfits to me.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2072921-jurgen-klinsmanns-son-deletes-account-after-tweeting-about-landon-donovan

I'm guessing Donovan either slept with Klinsmann's wife or daughter or was the source of the leaks for the Sporting News article and was a subject of conversation in the Klinsmann household.

Don't like no Donovan, Goodson, or Parkhurst. Those guys, especially the latter two, aren't world beaters or anything, but them on the roster makes it more likely that we advance. I understand what essentially looks like punting 2014, but I don't like it.
