I think Diskerud has a lot to offer. He's an attacking-type flanking midfielder with very good pace and good technical ability. Moreover, he is only 20 years of age and by the time the next World Cup comes around, could be a fantastic player. Also keep in mind he's been a regular starter for his team and is already establishing himself as one of the better players in the Norwegian league. Lets face it, besides Landon Donovan and perhaps Bedoya, the USMNT doesn't have many quality attacking wing players. I'm not convinced Brek Shea is the answer after he couldn't even manage to start for his MLS team the whole season. Dempsey is better as a forward. This will be a great opportunity for Diskerud, and will only help him develop.
