12 – Combined goals and assists by Graham Zusi in 2011
So long relative anonymity; Graham Zusi better be ready for life as a marked man. That’s just the way it goes when you enjoy the kind of season the Sporting KC midfielder put together in 2011. Zusi went from bench player to Breakout Player of the Year as he took MLS by storm a year ago, using a blend of athleticism, field vision and ball-striking ability to help propel Sporting from the bottom of the Eastern Conference table to the top, before falling a game short of the MLS Cup final. And like the Houston Dynamo, who made it clear the former Maryland man was of primary concern ahead of the 2011 Eastern Conference Championship, Sporting’s opponents this season are likely to place extra emphasis on slowing down Zusi in the hopes of negating Kansas City’s attacking impetus. How Zusi handles that attention will go a long way toward indicating whether he is ready to take on the burden that has been placed on his shoulders this offseason, as Jurgen Klinsmann gave him his first caps for the US national team and SKC rewarded his efforts with a reworked contract. Unfortunately for the rest of the Eastern Conference, all indications point to Zusi handling that responsibility and building on the five-goal, seven-assist season he turned in during his third professional season. Although he was played on the wing with the US – his natural position is in the middle of the park – he showed flashes of quality, scoring his first international goal and impressing Klinsmann with his fitness and work ethic after spending the offseason in Kansas City making sure his body was in peak condition. On the domestic front, word out of Sporting’s preseason camp is that Zusi’s offseason activities have certainly carried over to his club commitments, with some going so far as to call him the best player on the squad without a doubt. If that’s the case, opposing defenses have cause for concern as one of the league’s brightest emerging talents prepares to take the next step in his rapid development. 27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000"> |

The USMNT plays today at 1:30pm CST against Italy at Genoa. Landon Donovan, Jermaine Jones, Torres won't be able to play due to sickness. No Sporting KC players but there are a few new faces who impressed in the last match like Parkhurst, Cameron. ESPN of course.

Doing some good things especially in the midfield. Jozy has been too soft but they have certainly had some chances. We could sneak in a goal here in the 2nd half. Be interesting to see what if any changes are made for the 2nd half.
