You can't fit everyone in the yearbook. The mug shots are kinda big and take up a lot of space. Therefore, it's limited to 30 players' mug shots but there is a gaping space left open so there is actually only 29 pictures.
It's sort of telling to see who's on there and who's not.
The big shots are on there. Landon, Mastroeni, Keller and Beasley are all there. So are young guys like Jonathan Bornstein, Bobby Boswell and Justin Mapp. Spector's there too.
But the most interesting name on the list is a certain uncapped player, just one of two uncapped players who were deemed worthy enough of appearing on the mugs: Michael Bradley. (Benny Feilhaber and his crazy hair are on there as well)
Not pictured are Matt Reis, Joe Cannon, Sacha Kljestan and John O'Brien. There is a roster on the opposite side of the player pictures. The first three are on there but O'Brien's name does not even appear on that. Yes, he has fallen off the face of the Earth.

Bradley has been capped. Twice I believe. Against Venezuela and Latvia in the games right before the world cup.
Come on Bueno!
Ah crap, you're right again.
Now excuse me while I wipe this egg off.
Still, seems like he's been thrust into the mix already as a player who can contribute to the US national team. He'll probably spend more time with the Under 20s this year than anything else.
