As Alan and I both wrote about (separately but posted minutes apart), Herculez Gomez deserves an invite to the US training camp in Princeton, NJ in a few weeks.
He finished the regular season (since he's missing the last game after getting two yellow cards last week) tied for the scoring lead in the Mexican League, a first for an American. That alone is worthy of a closer look by American head coach Bob Bradley and his staff.
Gomez didn't do anything in MLS for the Kansas City Wizards but that's the past. He scored 10 goals for Puebla and seemed to find his game South of the border.
The Los Angeles native and son of Mexican-born parents, who grew up in Las Vegas has traveled around North America enough. He deserves a real shot at making the 23-man roster.
