Juan Agudelo, Mikkel Diskerud, 20 MLS Players Called To USMNT Camp By Bob Bradley

With youth and inexperience dominating the United States Men’s National Team’s January camp, there are no shortage of intriguing players to watch. Daily Soccer Fix’s Steve Davis identifies four that deserve particular attention.

None of those players bloomed later than Wondolowski, who was an otherwise forgettable journeyman before scoring 18 regular-season goals and winning the MLS Golden Boot last year. At 27 years old, he’s also one of the oldest players in camp.

The group is also largely inexperienced on the international stage. Just four players have more than two international caps and twelve have never made an appearance with the USMNT.

“The timing is right to assess many of the younger players and to broaden the player pool as we look forward to the next three years,” Bradley said in a USSF release. “These extended camps give the coaching staff an opportunity to work with these players closely, and at the same time expose them to what the environment and expectations are like at the international level. We have a good feel for the veteran players in the pool, several of whom are coming off long seasons, and we certainly expect many of them to be part of the program for the important tournaments this year.”
