When it comes to the last 3 or so spots on the roster, you don't necessarily have to pick by position as much as you pick by a role. For instance, you may select someone like Shea, not because of his position, but because of his ability to provide a spark off of the bench in order to score a needed goal. Do not take my excitement for Aron as me saying he will make the squad. I think he can if he gets an early look. I don't think it would take much for him to pass players like Gatt, Boyd, Bruin or Gordon. It would be tougher for him to overtake guys like Wondo and Gomez. Aron has the talent to make it happen, but he would have to get a call up very soon for Brazil to be a realistic possibility.
Wrong. Did you even read the statement you just quoted? I said "you don't necessarily have to pick by position..." That does not say that you have to pick by role over position nor does it imply that you will pick by position. It's quite clear that it's an option, a luxury, for the staff.
In other words, it's quite possible that the final spot will be between two players that don't play the exact same position.
So, in the second post I quoted, you are saying that in the first post, where I bolded, that I read your post wrong? You conveniently left off the rest of the sentence where you say "as much as by role". Yes, it is quite possible that JK won't take 20 mids, or 20 defenders, or 20 forwards, to go along with 3 keepers. But that is not what you said the first time. I do applaud your attempt to deflect my direct quote, however ineffective the deflection attempt was.
Yes, I do read posts I quote, to make sure I read them in their entirety before quoting them. If you we're misquoted, then you should say what you mean from the beginning. That leaves no doubt as to your verbal intent.
i said your words conveyed that you pick by role, which I then refuted with numbers from previous squad selections. You then said I was wrong, yet your post agrees with me in that you don't pick by role, rather by position.
Please re-read my post before saying I am wrong again. You, my fellow soccer enthusiast, are wrong twice on page 9 alone. But, thanks for contributing to the soccer discussion.
