I'm not an expert regarding the US team but shouldn't Stewart be in the first 23 with over 100 interlands?

Who do you suggest to move to reserves?
What about Tony Meola in first team in place of Keller?

I don't know. I almost don't know anything about the USA.

I always saw Keller as an average gk.
Meola was better than him.

Go on with the changes gurken, and add the line up.

I’m 100% certain that Howard, Dempsey and Beasley should all be in the first team.

Suggestions should be: "player X should replace in first team player Y for those reasons", not only a list of players. Thanks

Well I assumed it would be ignored like most of my suggestions, but anyway, I think it should be Howard > Keller, Beasley > Pope and Dempsey > Davis. All three were better players than them and were more important for the national team, plus Beasley and Dempsey were versatile and could cover several positions.

Case in point....
I don’t know why you’re reminding me of the rules if you’re just going to ignore any suggestions anyway. Same with Costa Rica All Stars, which has been waiting for an update for almost 5 years...

Because I'd like to hear other opinions too, that's why I haven't even updated Juventus all stars with MY OWN suggestions.

I'd personally use/suggest this formation:

GK HOWARD
CB DOOLEY
CB LALAS
RB CALIGIURI
LB BOCANEGRA
DMF REYNA
CMF HARKES
CMF DEMPSEY
AMF/SS MOORE
AMF/SS DONOVAN
CF WYNALDA

Captains: Carlos Bocanegra | Claudio Reyna | John Harkes | Thomas Dooley
Short Free Kick: Claudio Reyna/John Harkes
Long Free Kick: Claudio Reyna/John Harkes
Free Kick 2: Paul Caligiuri
Left Corner: Claudio Reyna/Landon Donovan
Right Corner: Claudio Reyna/Landon Donovan
Penalty: Landon Donovan/Joe-Max Moore

Then you should do it, if time has passed, and people don't give opinions, obviously they don't care about the thread, thus, there's nothing stopping you anymore.

What about Archie Stark? He dominated the league in his era, but played just two games for the US NT. I understand that in those days there were less international games then nowadays, but I think that there should be someone who deserves a place in the first team more than him, maybe some of the players that won Gold Cup, or from 2002 WC generation? My suggestion would be Earnie Stewart, Michael Bradley or Eddie Pope. Jozy is one of their all time top scorers but I don't think that he possess enough quality to be an all star.
Just to mention that I'm not much of an expert for US football, so if you lot think that Archie should stay, it's ok with me.

Done, we have Davis in and Archie out.
