Great... (loan from Randers FC), Hauptman better make a move because we have to pass New England and Houston still, and the Revs just got better.
Charlie Davies to the Revs

Getting ready for Agudelo's move to Stoke. I do love seeing all the ex-USMNT returning to the MLS, very good for the league. And while we DO have a game in hand on NE, this does make it tougher.

As much as I don't like it because it makes things tougher for us, it's nice to see Charlie Davies being as successful as he has been after his accident. Any chance he makes the World Cup squad?

Ah if only he was as good as he was before his injury. He had some serious wheels and USMNT were looking extremely dangerous back then. Too bad he had to go and get himself into a car crash...
But I am glad to see he's playing in the MLS. He could follow the same path that Eddie Johnson took. As for chances of making it onto the current World Cup squad, I would guess almost none. He would have to score a lot for his team or consistently look like a threatening winger. And even then he might not get a callup any time soon, I mean Mike Magee isn't getting callups either. Most likely scenario would be getting called up to the Winter Training Camp and impressing there, but not many players from there get the call up to the WC as they're all mainly extreme fringe players and competing for the final spots, although there are some exceptions (I think Holden during the last WC cycle).
As for the other players he would have to beat out for a forward spot, you have Altidore, CD, LD, Fabian Johnson as locks. And the others he would be competing with include Eddie Johnson, Hercules Gomez, Terrence Boyd, Zusi, Bruin, Agudelo, Josh Gatt, etc. And then you have the players who could file one time switches to play for the US in Julian Green (18yo who plays mainly for Bayern Munich reserves/youth teams but has been getting some time on the first team) and Shawn Parker (20yo who plays for FSV Mainz 05), but those probably won't happen until next cycle, if ever. And then there's the other forwards/wingers that get called up to Camp Strudel. He's got to take the long road there to get to Brazil.

He's done with the U.S. MNT. It's been 4 years since his car accident and he hasn't looked like his old self, which isn't surprising at all because of the injuries he suffered in the car accident.

You forgot to mention Aron Johannsson aka the IceMan. The kid has a lot of talent and potential.

Johannsson is a straight-up beast

Yeah it was before he switched over, but he's got a bright future. The way he closed out Panama was ice cold.
