Good. F'n Utd has enough.

Plus, if he leaves Spurs- that says a lot about the direction they're intending to go (down). I'm happy to see them keep their chips and try to make another run at CL.

 

[LHUCKS]

should be getting a lineup here shortly...

 

[Good Posting Judge]

Twitter Notes/Rumor:Real Madrid is after Chicharito and SAF has warned Jose off him. The little Pea will be getting a new contract to entice him to stay at Old Trafford. (cant say Im surprised, United finds and develops them, RM pays big bucks for them)De Gea is concentrating on the U-23 (i think) and not on a transfer to United as of yet. Although he and his GF were seen house hunting in Manchester.***As for Spain v US, watched the first 20 mins and it was like watching an EPL team vs a 2nd div team, you knew the goal was coming and once it did the gates were open. Came back at the half and it was 3-0...Also, did the field look slow and the ball heavy? Did they not hear of this device called a lawn mower? Horrible.***

Home field advantage. Hey, it was worth a shot.

Madrid pulled the same gag on Barca. All's fair, I suppose.

Landon Jones Bradley Dempsey

Agudelo Jozy

Onyewu, Edu, Wondolowski, Lichaj, Kljestan, Bedoya, Hahnemann on the bench

 

[NewlyRetired]

Zero complaints about the lineup for me.

Hopefully Jones and Bradley can play well together and that Jozy can find his wake up pills.

Love seeing Ream over Gooch. I love our backline. I love the upside once they have more experience playing with one another.Everything else is as expected.Wouldn't mind seeing Dempsey bumped up if Jozy continues to suck.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Onyewu, Edu, Wondolowski, Lichaj, Kljestan, Bedoya, Hahnemann on the bench

Bornstein, Adu Spector, Rogers and Rimando left out.

Too big of a game for Adu to get his shot, but I would hope he gets his shots in the next two matches.Could not care less about the others.

The back line is very good for today but I am missing the upside you are referring to. By 2014 our wing backs are both going to be very old.

Can't argue with you there.

Canada lineup: Hirschfeld; Ledgerwood, McKenna, Hainault, De Jong; Dunfield, Hutchinson; Johnson, De Rosario, Simpson; Jackson (4-2-3-1)

DeGuzman out with calf injury

Likely, I view him as a nice guy to have on the bench because of his size.

With the large amount of center backs in the pipeline I think his days as even a sub are coming to an end sometime during qualifying. And he might not even be on the team now if we actually had a left back and Boca could move to the middle where he belongs.

Modric's not going anywhere unless some crazy bid comes in.

This pregame show sucks.

I like the look of that... hopefully those Center Backs hold up.

 

[NewlyRetired]

. And now imagine that Xavi played. And that he's black.

I don't get it? The guy you could not remember was Robbie Rogers.

Thanks.I'd ... but the thing I do remember is that Rogers was completely unremarkable on the night.

I still don't get it. Why does Xavi have to be black?

 

[NewlyRetired]

To the handful of you in here who have my cell phone number...don't give me any updates tonight on the game, as I will be watching it delayed after playing a pickup game. TIA

I wasn't going to, but this kind of makes me want to

Someone text Tasker and tell him Bornstein is starting.

 

[Christo]

FSC making waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much out of the Spain game.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Landon has 12 Gold Cup goals. The rest of the US team has 3

Good. Maybe the federation will think next time before scheduling.

Dempsey just plays like he doesn't give a #### in these matches.

 

[LHUCKS]

It'll be nice to see what Agudelo can do when he's not triple teamed.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Damn it, my tv's DLP bulb just exploded :(

Off to watch on the ancient SD tv

Some of this stuff just baffles the #### out of me. The teams didn't even get to warm up because of the proximity of the first game. WTF is in charge of this thing?

 

[NewlyRetired]

The field looks pretty choppy. Being the second game it's only going to get worse.

They are doing this every where. Same thing has happened at every double header so far.

 

[LHUCKS]

Dolo abused on that run by Simpson.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Good solid pressure by the US. 4 corners in the first 10 minutes is a good sign.

 

[LHUCKS]

the attack is really shaping up here

 

[LHUCKS]

FINALLY!

 

[NewlyRetired]

Sometimes a crap goal can help a players confidence. I will take it

 

[NMYMND]

Beautiful pass. Bad goalkeeping. But I'll take it.

 

[Christo]

Horrible goalkeeping but I'll take it.

 

[LHUCKS]

Very strong play by Jozy.

Was surprised that went in - but great!

 

[NMYMND]

Horrible goalkeeping but I'll take it.

 

[LHUCKS]

Horrible goalkeeping but I'll take it.

With or without the save, big step for Jozy to get a good shot on goal like that.

 

[The Gator]

Love that movement right there

 

[NewlyRetired]

I love how the midfielders are ball hawking to spring the offense.

 

[Christo]

Enough with the long replays causing us to miss the ball in play.

Bradley in particular is looking awesome.

Score update sent to Tasker

We warned you about this. And if you can imagine this is actually improved from the last CONCACAF production.

 

[whoknew]

I was at that game at the Silverdome in 94. It was fun - the Swiss had the cowbells going like crazy. The US had awful uniforms.

Me too! Those were the blue flag ones if I remember. Still remember Dooley having a chance to win that game late in the second half.
