Do you think he will be called up to the Lone Star? He plays as a defender, but probably on the left side. Too bad, cos we already have good players there (like Gbandi or Gebro).

Anyway, check out Willis Forko's profile, he is a member of MLS side Real Salt Lake:

He is still a Young and Inexperienced Player...He Was just Playing college Ball last Year..he will fill in for the Starters when the World Cup starts and 2 defenders are taken for the US team.

He will need a Year of experience..I hope he is called up by the LFA..He can get the experience from Training and serve as an added defender to our Core...He could be used off the bench when we have a Lead .

Following McCarty and Oduro's near misses, the game appeared to be heading to a scoreless draw, only for Salt Lake to grab a late winner through Johnson. Willis Forko broke up a Dallas attack and quickly played a long ball down the left for Johnson, catching the FCD defense on the counter. Johnson raced onto the Forko pass and got behind the defense before slotting a left-footed shot underneath Burse and just inside the far post to give Real a 1-0 lead and eventual victory.

The Game Listed above was the reserve squad game..farko has not broken into 1st team yet...He is on the bench right now until the World Cup..He will be a starter then when the players are called up for National team Duty...

He is getting Pro Experience..That is the key..Sitting and not Playing will not help..so Playing for the reserves is the best Option Now

We should get him capped before somebody else does. Then monitor his progress. Monroviaboy thanks for helping the unearth some talents. Hope the FA listening
