The point is the defense and the team did well overall and the Confederations Cup tournament was one a high point for the USMNT. Those teams make a lot of defenders look bad. I doubt that any of the current fullback candidates, except maybe Chandler and FJ could have done much better. I saw all those games and IвЂ™m pretty sure Spector did well all things considered. You are condemning him based on some games against Italy, Brazil and Spain. What do those managers know that you do not? And they are still sending him out there. That is a lot of appearances for a guy who is вЂњunable to keep up defensivelyвЂќ. Still he has 147 appearances in the Premiership and 87 in the Championship which is probably quite a bit more than any of the other prospective fullback candidates.

If you have both Cameron and JS on the field, that gives you a lot of options when the inevitable group stage curveball rolls your way as a managerвЂ¦ Reply His only chance is to get a spot back with Birmingham City in defense, get some solid games under his belt, prove his fitness and hope JK remembers his versatility. Believe it or not I think the guy is meant to be an attacking playmaker.Д«ut where does that leave him a few months before Brazil? Nowhere, of course.

I remember seeing him play there a few times I think for Charlton or the Hammers maybe it was and he looked fantastic. To me this guy is a natural midfielder and IвЂ™ve always been stumped as to why he isnвЂ™t played there more often.

Still have a few years to see if IвЂ™m full of it. I have always predicted that JS would take the opposite of the usual path of attacker to midfield to defense. What do you think of this news? Glad to see Spector back on the field? Think he has any chance of breaking into the USMNT 23-man roster? If heвЂ™s able to get through the reserves match on Monday, Spector could make his full return on Saturday at Blackpool.

MenвЂ™s National Team squad for the 2014 World Cup this summer. SpectorвЂ™s injury troubles have likely hurt his chances of making the U.S. Spector was subsequently injured the next week in training and hasnвЂ™t seen the field since. SpectorвЂ™s last official appearance came on Oct. Mainly Spector had been playing at right back or in central midfield for the Blues. The 27-year-old Chicago native was re-signed by Birmingham City head coach Lee Clark because of his versatility, able to play anywhere along the backline and even in center midfield. Spector tore his thigh muscle in May 2012.

Spector has remained on the sidelines with a thigh muscle injury after missing large portions of last season with similar thigh problems. The American defender is set to play for the Birmingham City Under-21s on Monday against Sheffield United, in what will be SpectorвЂ™s first match since last October.
