In a sign of progress for some of the Americans playing abroad, Frankie Simek went the full 90 for Sheffield Wednesday in a 2-0 win and Jonathan Spector (pictured above) started and went 85 minutes in a 2-1 loss for West Ham. Bradley has to be pleased that his defensive depth is starting to get back to its appropriate level. Also nice to see Maurice Edu at least making the bench for Rangers.

Gen-Adidas Conclude Trip, Spector Returns
South African-born, Davide Somma (in the center above), dropped two goals for the Generation Adidas team in their final game of their England trip. But it wasn't enough, as the West Ham Reserves won 3-2, on two goals from Fred Sears and another from American-international, Jonathan Spector. Nice to see the MLS squad put some goals in the back of the net, and even nicer to see Jonathan Spector putting in 67 minutes with the reserves after a long injury layoff. Hopefully, Spector will be back on the field with the first team (and the US) as soon as possible. With him and Frankie Simek getting back to form (even though Simek picked up a knock in his last game), they should provide some depth at fullback for the US, and hopefully phase out the ageless, long-haired Frankie Hejduk.
