pretty sucky starting 11
2/19/2006 1:54:04 PM
go guatemala!
2/19/2006 1:54:36 PM
hopefully eddie johnson will make an appearance
2/19/2006 1:54:46 PM
^he did, starts 2nd half, scores about a minute and a half into the 2nd half
2/19/2006 3:14:11 PM
yeh I'm watching it... pretty sloppy game, Olsen had a sweet goal though
2/19/2006 3:18:04 PM
yea that goal was nice, but the US is playing guys ive barely heard of...probably not having cable last year and not being able to watch the mls hinders me from knowing who half of these guys are
2/19/2006 3:19:42 PM
theyre not playing anyone that will start in the world cup really. its mostly people trying to make the team. our whole team will be back march 1 vs. poland. eddie johnson - 9 goals in 12 caps i believe. he's sick.
2/19/2006 3:21:55 PM
well.. no European based players, and our best MLS players are playing in some CONCACAF club tourney or something.. these are all just mostly bubble players
2/19/2006 3:22:10 PM
those jerseys really look way better than i thought they would
2/19/2006 3:23:49 PM
who scored the 2nd goal? i missed the last 10-15 minuts of the first half to get food and got back at the start of the 2nd half so i havent seen a highlight or anything
2/19/2006 3:25:28 PM
ching
2/19/2006 3:26:25 PM
down goes johnson
2/19/2006 3:28:27 PM
man...im not the biggest fan of ching, who really is never in the game with the US, id rather not see him make the world cup squad
2/19/2006 3:28:57 PM
lucky his leg didnt get caught under there. shitty tackle god damn guatemalans.
2/19/2006 3:31:09 PM
yeah that tackle was trash... and yeah I agree with you about Ching, he's never really impressed me.. I think his chances of making the team are slim with Eddie Johnson coming back and Twellman coming on lately
2/19/2006 3:32:43 PM
wow, just saw ching's goal....def handball
2/19/2006 3:34:38 PM
gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooall
2/19/2006 3:37:05 PM
nice power shot under the goalie's arm
2/19/2006 3:37:29 PM
and by the way, i like chris klein, he has had nice play along with 2 assits today and now the goal. id put him on the team.
2/19/2006 3:38:06 PM
at what position?
2/19/2006 3:38:36 PM
a sub for the midfield. out of the starters id take hejduk, pop, conrad, klein, olsen, wolff. id add eddie johnson and twellman to out forwards.
2/19/2006 3:41:30 PM
i see him as a defensive midfield as his best position...but hes not passing reyna or mastroeni for that position
2/19/2006 3:42:09 PM
hmm I dunno, I like dempsey better than klein, same for olsen. we just have a lot of good midfielders -- mastroeni, o'brien, reyna, lewis, armas, beasley, maybe donovan (who should be up top with mcbride) -- those are all guys I think are definitely on the squad, don't know if there's room for guys like klein
2/19/2006 3:45:36 PM
i hate dempsey. dempsey played forward before im pretty sure the last few games. id take twellman and johnson over him.
2/19/2006 3:46:46 PM
i like donovan slotted behind 2 strikers, as a central attacking midfielder...i really think our starting 2 strikers in the world cup should be mcbride and johnson
2/19/2006 3:46:57 PM
^ thats true, depending on how eddie gets back into shape. what's the situation on our defense? I never know if there's going to be another David Regis that comes out of nowhere for a world cupi haven't heard much about oneywu, is he still a lock for one of the backs?
2/19/2006 3:48:43 PM
just tuned in....go USA....rape noobs
2/19/2006 3:49:21 PM
USA is just pwning
2/19/2006 3:49:59 PM
what was th final?
2/19/2006 3:58:37 PM
4-0 usa
2/19/2006 4:00:20 PM
ive seen onyewu in a few matches for USA and everytime ive seen him he's been a beast.the defense is the one area i am worried about for the world cup, cause i dont have a clue, besides pope, who will play[Edited on February 19, 2006 at 4:05 PM. Reason : sdfds]
2/19/2006 4:03:36 PM
yeah I was just trying to figure it out.. pope, oneywu, conrad, bocanegra, cherundolo, hejduk... that's all i can really think of
2/19/2006 4:08:43 PM
vanney? berhalter? i really cant think of anymore[Edited on February 19, 2006 at 4:12 PM. Reason : bleh]
