Looks like Dempsey is playing a good 15 yards deeper in this half.

Thoughts on US subs in the 2nd half?

I'd love to see another Goalie in there for team USA. Not in place of Howard, in addition to him.

 

[Steve Tasker]

I think the US is in deep #### if Mexico brings in de Nigris

And as I type that, Barrera scores again. Ridiculous.

 

[ffldrew]

Buckle up this is going to get wild

Why was Bornstein like 8 yards behind that guy

 

[whoknew]

Howard seems to be having a rough game

We could use Agudelo's energy

Agudelo for Jones or Bedoya.

 

[NewlyRetired]

This may get very ugly if Mexico smells blood. They are simply a better team.

 

[ffldrew]

that should have been a corner

 

[TwinTurbo]

Borstein is a huge liability. Basically no better than a pylon so far

 

[Chaos Commish]

estupido

I think cone would be more appropriate. One of those orange one's. Pylon is more of an american football thing.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Agudelo should come on for Bedoya

 

[LHUCKS]

Nice job Freddy

 

[NewlyRetired]

Freddy continues to play well

 

[NutterButter]

Adu seems like the only US player with good ball skills

 

[NewlyRetired]

Damn it

 

[ffldrew]

Man

 

[Genedoc]

MFing post. Gross.

 

[derek245583]

Adu seems like the only US player with good ball skills

Always thought the one thing this country lacked was people who could win one on one battles and creative players...Adu has repeatedly beaten people one on one and its showing up.

 

[ffldrew]

Big whiff by Bornstein

 

[NewlyRetired]

Agudelo should come on for Bedoya

Got something correct

 

[Spartans Rule]

Was hoping it would be Bedoya coming off. We've got about the best attacking lineup we can put out there right now.

I think Holden and Feilhaber are both capable of that....but neither of them is in the lineup....

 

[Genedoc]

Getting shoved from behind in the box is allowed?

Gonna have to lose a limb for them to give em a PK in this one.

 

[Ted Lange as your Bartender]

How long before the rolling around starts?

Mexico should have killed this game off they might be making mistake allowing the US to hang around.

You should stick around and start following European leagues IMO

Tried a bit, it's just haed w/ no rooting interest. All soccer matches should have 1 British announcer, though. Fact.

 

[LHUCKS]

Regardless of the result here, having an in-form Adu could be huge in World Cup play.

At full strength we have a ton of options in the midfield and up top. We are starting to build some real depth.

 

[NutterButter]

Agudelo is terrible out there

 

[NewlyRetired]

Looks like no DiNigris for Mexico tonight. If the US can find a miracle tie, this is going to be important. Mexico just took off their best offensive player tonight to boot

 

[LHUCKS]

Also of note, Freddy isn't going to be playing in Turkey for long.

 

[Steve Tasker]

What a perfect goal by Gio

 

[Chaos Commish]

idiot

 

[Ted Lange as your Bartender]

####

 

[ffldrew]

holy crap - that was placed

 

[NewlyRetired]

Unreal goal. We needed Timmy to have a monster game and he has not made one big stop all night

 

[derek245583]

Howard looks like a child out there

 

[Genedoc]

Thing that separates US from top teams seems to be first touch. We're perpetually touching, then settling, then passing/shooting. Teams like Germany seem to be able to hit moving dimes with their touches.

 

[whoknew]

Unreal goal. We needed Timmy to have a monster game and he has not made one big stop all night

Worst I've seen Howard play in a while.

 

[LHUCKS]

great chip by Dos Santos

looking forward to playing these bastards when we've got Chandler, Dolo, Altidore

 

[Slapdash]

Bradley was useless on the ball to Dos Santos.

 

[Genedoc]

Howard looks like a child out there

That flopping crab walk was pretty sweet, though. Didn't see Cherundolo's injury. Given what's happened, if his foot is still attached, he should still be out there.

Bradley should have put that home.

Who is the future after Howard?

but I don't think it'll really matter. He'll still be the #1 for a number of years, barring injury.

 

[Genedoc]

Bradley, uhg. Open net, and bent it away from scoring.

 

[derek245583]

Ok, I used to have a post when I played soccer my freshman and sophomore years on corner kicks...

I always wondered if I was allowed to jump and do a pull up on the cross bar to head a ball away...woulda been awesome!!
