This had better be a better side than the one against France; both teams looked liked warmed-over baby-shit on Friday.

They look pretty attacking and dangerous but both teams have had a bunch of great chances, the pitch is so densely covered in fog it could get farcical.

Gooch still out on a groin strain, right?

Could be, he's not on the bench.
1-1 now.

ooh just saw a replay of buddle's. lovely.who drew the penalty that jozy put in?
― carstens, Tuesday, 15 November 2011 18:10 (twelve years ago) link
I thought he won & scored it, could be wrong though.
― boxall, Tuesday, 15 November 2011 18:11 (twelve years ago) link
I didn't see, but my friend who is paying attention said Johnson drew the PK.

i saw a gold cup b-team once (holden! adu! guzan!) but this is my first US friendly.
i'm more excited than i should be probably. haven't seen a game in person since november.
― toandos, Thursday, 19 January 2012 20:06 (twelve years ago) link
this'll be a bit of a B/C team as well tbh, but I'm sure it'll be fun. venezuela is bringing their domestic players mainly afaik. be nice to see a win.

good luck to the guys. pretty impressive record italy has against us. we are 0-7-3 with an aggregate score of 32-4.think we'll see terrence boyd make his debut?
― mizzell, Wednesday, 29 February 2012 16:13 (twelve years ago) link
I would guess so, given that they yanked him out of u23 camp for this. He's already getting massively hyped a la Altidore and Agudelo.

a half-empty stadium, the endearing italian whistles, ian darke's bloviations and dumb-as-shit sounding taylor twellman make this match a can't-miss!
― jojothejojo (toandos), Wednesday, 29 February 2012 19:50 (twelve years ago) link
surprisingly (occasionally) incisive at the front, shaky in the extreme at the back

Back at work - so I can't watch teh second half but flipping back and forth between Italy - USA and Eng - Ned, I thought at least the US game looked more entertaining.

johnson cross to jozy in the box, holds of his man and then lays off to dempsey for the goal, nice play
Nice!

from what I've seen so far johnson is gonna end up being the new lb

holy shit we win

end of the second half reminded me of the game against spain from the confeds cup, just manic defending
― Wild Flag Post (dan m), Wednesday, 29 February 2012 21:40 (twelve years ago) link
Did they just park the bus in front of goal or did they try to counter at all?
― pareilles à celles auxquelles l'étiquette de la cour assujettit (Michael White), Wednesday, 29 February 2012 21:42 (twelve years ago) link
a couple attempts at countering, including one 2-on-2 with boyd and dempsey where it was pretty obvious only boyd had any gas in the tank, but mostly a lot of blocking shots and clogging up the front

saw the end of this in a bar, shouted "dos a cero" and startled some people

didn't see the goals but thought gyau, agudelo, and adu all looked good. diskerud too.really liked the senior team's new kits. though the us still needs a new badge.
― mizzell, Thursday, 1 March 2012 14:55 (twelve years ago) link
watching some highlights this morning I started feeling some real hope for some of these dudes, can't wait to see a few more of them integrated with the senior team

hadn't realized that az is in first place in the netherlands (and jozy is their leading scorer). has there been an american on a league winning side in europe before?

Edu and Beasley won the SPL with Rangers iirc. Gooch with Standard Liege in Belgium, maybe?
― dan m, Monday, 5 March 2012 20:56 (twelve years ago) link
good call. beasley also won twice with PSV.

Demerit's Watford won promotion but I don't think they actually finished top of the Championship.
