- Some thoughts on the missing:
World Cup starters Matt Besler, Omar Gonzalez and Graham Zusi all left off U.S. roster because of coach’s decision. #usmnt
— Doug McIntyre (@DougMacESPN) May 31, 2015Am told Geoff Cameron and Greg Garza were omitted in order to take care of niggling injuries following long season. #usmnt
— Doug McIntyre (@DougMacESPN) May 31, 2015 - Striker camp with Jurgen Klinsmann: "A striker progresses by always pushing himself towards finishing and staying calm in front of the goal. He has to stay extremely hungry. If you don’t score, it should drive you even more to be aggressive in the next game. As a striker you can never have a sense of satisfaction, that you are happy that you got one goal on the day. I can see it in the body language of strikers. When they celebrate a goal, I can see if he is already content. Meanwhile, then I ask him to get a second one. This is the type of striker we would love to develop, but again it’s an inner-driven game. The player decides that hunger and that drive. We have such a talented young group of strikers that haven’t broken through quite yet, so it’s about time for them to ask more from themselves."
