It's kind of a crazy game, predicting the next World Cup roster after the current tournament run
ends, but it's tons of fun. Several people have done it lately, including the great Greg Seltzer at
MLSsoccer.com. We figured we'd take our crack at it. Let us know what you think, and check back
with us in May of 2014 to make fun or give praise.

The US U-20 National Team is in Northern Ireland participating in the Milk Cup. Thomas Rongen is
still at the helm and recently guided his team to a 1-0 victory over China. The team plays the
Danish tomorrow, Wednesday at 3pm ET.
Rongen has reached out to a number of young Americans plying their trade abroad in Mexico and
different countries in Europe.
Y'all ever heard of Gustavo Ruelas? Neither have I. Apparently he's a U.S. U-20 player from
California who is under the employ of Santos Laguna. Or he was under their employ as he's now been
picked up by Celtic on loan.
Good for him. Now, internet, let us begin the process of penciling him into the lineup for the
Yanks in 2018; even though the vast majority of us haven't seen him play I'm sure we'll still say
he's lock to make the plane to Brazil along with Charles Renken, Johnny Exantus and Badr Seyam.
