More likeable, what does that mean? Better and more skilled are the same thing. So basically you're saying the US needs better players.

Maybe he means more well-known but that again falls under the same category as better most of the time.
Do you guys think Howard might still be in good shape in four years? It's not unheard of a goalkeeper to be world class when they're almost 40.
And I'm hoping this World Cup was a learning experience for Klinsmann to not dismiss youngsters so easily. Soon as Green came on he scored. Should've put in an injured Altidore or Johannsen instead of Wondo. But as long as Klinsmann stays, I think we'll improve.

He's used that terminology before and it just means he doesn't like the US players, which means... absolutely nothing. He doesn't like them big fuucking deal. He can stick with the "likeable" Pepe, Ronaldo, and Nani that most reasonable people don't even like. Or perhaps he can like Barcelona players for their support of UNICEF.
You went to college for that? I'd ask for your money back. Too much of your tuition went to covering boys getting bent over their lockers.
Better, but also more likeable. As much as many of you may groan over something that affirms what Alexi Lalas says, the players have no personality. The team are a collective of mostly anonymous, replaceable parts without character or definition.
Likeable probably isn't the right word, because it also inspires the opposite: players that some people hate. Balotelli. Suarez. Zlatan. Maradona. They are all fantastic players, but they all have a theatrical presence they bring to their teams and the game to rise above the raw, wet oatmeal of a squad this U.S. team largely represents.
The USA team needs character and personality to distinguish itself from, say, even Costa Rica at this point. There's little personality to rally around beyond some cheer a teenager did at an Army Navy game 15 years ago.

Dempsey and Howard seem pretty likeable to me. Again, I think you just get that idea because they're not big names but that usually goes along with being a top player, something we don't have.
Some people may say Donovan is likable but that couldn't be farther from the truth. It's just because everyone knows him.
I think Gonzalez might have a bright future from what I saw.

As a TSA defending, supposed Liberal from the homosexuality and porno capital of the US, I'm surprised you haven't had your hard drive raided yet for trying to get pictures.

There are plenty of "likeable" US players. That is just a lame excuse for Greg to glory hunt for Portugal.

Proud of this squad. I highly doubt the 2010 squad would've got out of that group. It's a shame we lost, but it was a deserved loss against a very talented team. Lots of good young players coming through now though, and I'm hopeful for the future. Next step, hold onto the region in the Gold Cup next year.
Green honestly should have played before Bedoya or Zusi. Don't care if he's young, he was dangerous than any of those two plus he could run at people.
