Bruce Arena John Quotations

We went through an important year in 2005 where neither Eddie Johnson, John O'Brien, Claudio Reyna nor Cory Gibbs were around much due to injuries, and those are four players that you would think are clearly going to be on our roster for Germany.

We have about six weeks to move John along. Hopefully he stays injury free. If he's not able to overcome any kind of injuries, he will be a candidate for possible replacement on the roster.

I think Donovan and Beasley once again are players that we will count on. Bobby Convey (Reading) has the potential to help us in a World Cup, Eddie Johnson (Kansas City Wizards ) has the potential to help us in the World Cup.

The previous match played no role in selecting this roster. It was based on fitness and form. We thought this was a good group. We know Bocanegra and Johnson are certainly capable of playing (a full game), but Beasley is still something of a question mark.

We know that Bocanegra and Johnson are certainly capable of playing 90. Beasley is a question mark. Therefore, we have not made a decision about his status yet for Saturday.
