It's almost time for the U.S. national team to reconvene for friendly tests against Brazil and Mexico, which means it's also time to ponder which MLSers have been playing their way into the frame.
There's no shortage of worthy call-up candidates among those stateside guys who've yet to enjoy an international debut. The honorable mentions range from the more seasoned standouts that don't seem good bets to hang around until the next World Cup (Tim Melia, Christian Ramirez, Ben Sweat) to precocious young'uns that would probably do well to simply continue their early club trajectories for now (Chris Durkin, Jonathan Lewis, Jaylin Lindsey).
