usmnt

this is infuriating

oh god and now some nu metal version of cinnamon girl is playing kill me

lol at espn2 for nearly missing that goal

created by usa's own neymar, break shea. what a haircut!

ref has completely swallowed his whistle

that haircut is ghastly

who's that other dude that looks like he's 16

the guy who scored the goal? robbie rogers

we have no one who can put a good ball on net from outside the box

how'd we end up w/ a guy who looks like he is in attack attack!

cmon, that is a red all day long

dude 4real

Leander Schaerlaeckens: The whole press box burst out laughing when the ref didn't pull out a red there.

ricardo clark and kyle beckerman not gonna tick that box anytime soon

even when we have our actual team

jozy and dempsey maybe, but still very rare

at least our coach is ~handsome~

how'd we end up w/ a guy who looks like he is in attack attack!

for costa rica and belgium...

GK-Tim Howard, Bill Hamid

D-Carlos Bocanegra, Edgar Castillo, Timothy Chandler, Steve Cherundolo, Clarence Goodson, Zach Loyd, Michael Orozco Fiscal, Heath Pearce, Tim Ream

MF-Kyle Beckerman, Clint Dempsey, Maurice Edu, Fabian Johnson, SachaKljestan, Jeff Larentowicz, Robbie Rogers, Brek Shea, Jose Torres

F-Juan Agudelo, Jozy Altidore, Teal Bunbury, Landon Donovan

my first thought: who the fuck is fabian johnson? answer: another german-american

Cherundolo was decent for Hannover at the weekend.

Has Chandler caught your eye at all pandemic, assuming you caught a Nuremberg match or two last season?

No he hasn't boxall, and Nuremberg haven't had a full game shown on TV yet this season. Will definitely keep an eye out and report back tho.

lil' bradley to chievo, guess it's good he has a place to play but idk about italy

Cherundolo was better than decent at the weekend. In fact he was v good indeed. Excellent positioning, good concentration, effective simple use of the ball, and one bone crushing but fair challenge. He doesn't (or at least didn't in this game) get forward much to lend support to the right winger however.

Chievo was the dullest, least creative team I watched at least twice last season, maybe Bradley could become prolific again like he was for Heerenveen a long time ago.

Cherundolo's well-liked by US fans afaik, but is part of the old guard that Klinsmann is responsible for phasing out. Chandler is supposed to be a more attack-minded replacement.

yeah cherundolo has been a rock for years

love cherundolo, but excited about chandler. liverpool has signed 18 year old californian Villyan Bijev. apparently he is a wonder kid, any one know if he will play for the us or choose bulgaria?

he's been involved w/ the US U-18 setup, called into some camps. i'd imagine if he keeps progressing and keeps getting called in (u-20s next) he'd stick with us.

according to avi creditor on sports illustrated, fabian johnson is "capable" of playing left back, but is ineligible for costa rica and belgium as they switch his registration.

is there any reason both howard and friedel wear number 24 for their clubs?

I like this.

loving the "afro-germerican" series on the offisde rules

really bummed for pontius, who broke his leg saturday - he's been dcu's best player for the past 2-3 months, got called up for the last couple friendlies, and seemed to have all the momentum toward breaking into the rotation

bradley in at egypt

http://goal.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/09/14/egypt-names-bradley-as-new-coach/

Ecuador GK is wearing a backwards baseball cap w/ 'DirecTV HD' on it, bizarre.

I miss Bradley tbh

someone better fuckin do something worthwhile today

Any idea who's starting?

I saw a few predictions but nothing official.

Howard, Cherundolo, Goodson, Bocanegra, Chandler, Williams, Beckerman, Edu, Shea, Dempsey, Altidore

Ribery has looked like a World XI player this season, Cherundolo had better step up.

think cherundolo has been dropped for his last 2 or 3 club games, so either rusty or has a point to prove, or both i guess.

Some good defending happening.

Timmy!

no chance on that one

just a hoof up the middle really

so like under bradley we used to score goals once in a while, what happened?

wynalda is pissed

“It is always important to win. I don’t understand people who say it doesn’t matter. It always matters. And what are we developing? Are we developing into losers who can juggle the ball?”

USA lineup vs. Slovenia: Howard, Cherundolo, Goodson, Bocangra, Chandler, Beckerman, Bradley, Johnson, Dempsey, Buddle, Altidore

This is entertaining.

Awesome goal from Buddle!
