Not so great:
USA U-23's vs. Brazil, Second Friendly: Final score 1-5, Americans thoroughly embarrassed

It's not a FIFA date so Janury camp is almost always exclusively MLS guys.
Given the injury and missed time it's great for him.
Good to know! Glad he managed to get in as it's great for the boy and the club, but I am still a little surprised given that he was pretty underwhelming. Still, there's a bunch of guys I don't know and even one unattached player in there!
He can hone his hesitation and ability to miss from anywhere under the master, jozy altidore.
A lot of this January camp is about getting the U23s together in advance of the March dates with Colombia. Shelton is a big part of that team.

I know its fashionable around here to be hating on Khiry but the idea of him as an overlapping fullback is very interesting. First time I saw it somewhere.

I am totally for him getting a runout as a RB at some point. I suggested it after the Toronto game (not to toot my own horn) where he actually did quite well defensively despite struggling on offense. It would definitely be interesting to see him get at least a shot since his offensive capabilities seem limited.
Well, he also sucks at crossing and defending, in addition to passing and shooting. Maybe he should be on a track team.
I honestly think Khiry would be fantastic coming off the bench. Let him run at and over tired defenders late in the match. His technical skills are lacking, use his greatest asset, his size and speed on exhausted legs to create chances.
Don't know where to post this, some might find this interesting... But Khiry just posted his snapchat name on his Instagram, so naturally, I added him. Anyway, he actually responds to my snaps and we had a whole conversation. Pretty cool that he does that!
i know he's young and all that bullshit... but its evident how much of a wasted talent he is in front of goal.
i've never seen a professional be in the right places to score and miss the net by so much. this isn't something you learn at this point. hes supposed to be an "offensive threat" which means whether theres a 4 year old in net or a grown man, from 6 yards away put the ball on target.

I'm getting sick of all the ridiculous Khiry-bashing going on. They guy is playing well, with a goal and an assist in 3 games, and while you started your post with "I know he's young and all that..." you don't seem to really be taking that into consideration. He's 22 and only 20 games and barely 1000 minutes into his MLS career. He is going to do great things for us.
