It would make the European Super League a reality pretty quickly.I wonder if La Liga would remain relevant if they booted Barca from the league...I wonder if Barca would remain a power if they gained independence and was booted from La Liga?Semi-related to football: There was a rally for Catalan independence in Barcelona today that was attended by 1.5m people.

the guys on ESPN predicted a draw. I would be very happy with 3, but am not expecting it...not with the this cluster#### of a midfield and less than ideal Dempsey.Jozy really needs to step up tonight...he looks like a worldbeater in club play and then disappears against Jamaica?? Is he our Messi?

If Swansea can play in the EPL and AS Monaco can play in France, I'm guessing Barcelona would stay in La Liga even after the revolution.

I wonder how many other domestic leagues this happens in?Obviously MLS has the Canadian clubs to go along with the ones you mentioned. I believe the A League in Australia has a team from New Zealand

You could argue that no team has been more impressive world wide in these couple of qualifiers than Colombia.
First they thumped a very good Uruguay team 4-0 at home and then today they went on the road in beat a good Chilean team 3-1. Chile had not lost a game at home in 4 years.

I am unsure how the midfield will lineup. Those are the 4 players listed though. Zusi is not a quick player but if he plays an advanced role he should be ok.

Well if that lineup can't keep the ball...

I like the Midfield quite a bit more. Zusi is an interesting experiment. No Jozy is interesting...not sure how I feel about that.

I had hoped coming into these two games that Jozy would be able to step up. Now he is not even starting in the biggest game of Klinsmann's regime so far.

Maybe the midfield will look like this
............Williams
Zusi......Jones.........Torres
With Torres pinching to give Fab maybe room to go forward.
Wingless wonders indeed :(

A little dramatic, but true. Herc has earned some PT, but Jozy needs to become the dominant force we think he can be.I had hoped coming into these two games that Jozy would be able to step up. Now he is not even starting in the biggest game of Klinsmann's regime so far.

I have not liked Williams out wide but from reading tweets, DM is his natural position so here is hoping he can get it done.

So basically I know nothing about two guys now starting for the USMNT and couldn't pick another one or two out of a lineup.

I went to a World Cup Qualifier against Jamaica at RFK in 1997(?). At least half the crowd was Jamaican that night.
Looks almost 100% American tonight.
