Daily Soccer Fix Identifies Four Players To Watch At Camp Cupcake
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.
In goalkeeper Sean Johnson, defender Tim Ream and forwards Justin Braun and Chris Wondolowski, Davis shows a particular interest in players who have made their bids for national consideration relatively recently.
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.
I suspect that attacker Chris Wondolowski’s memorable run to the 2010 MLS Golden Boot was lightning in a bottle type stuff – and that it will be difficult to repeat. I’d wager a delicious cup of granny’s special eggnog that he can’t hit the 18-goal mark again. And I don’t see him as a guy who can make a difference at the international level. That said, here’s his chance to put me in my place. I suspect he would be putting a lot of people in their place, as I don’t think I’m alone in my opinion.
