A mate of mine was at the Nou Camp to watch Barca back in '04, he was taken back by the amount of fans smoking weed in the stands beside him.

-----Shea------------Altidore--------------Gomez----
---------------Edu--------------Jones------------------
--------------------Beckerman-------------------------
Johnson---Bocanegra----Cameron-------Cherundolo

this is gonna sound corny as fuc but here goes: i've been getting high (outside) and going to sounders games by myself for about a year and i CANNOT believe how much more, tactically, i've gotten out of the games. off the ball movement, width, 1v1 matchups, tactical shifts, all are more clear. and yeah it could be that i'm going by myself (not concerned if gf/friend is bored), watching more in total, whatever, but man, i suggest it, one hitter quitter and sit and ~~watch~~.

when we went to the grand opening of red bull arena in 2010 there were some massive bluntz circulating in the stands. in retrospect I can't believe we didn't get thrown out/arrested.
didn't get a lot out of that tactical-insight-wise beyond "damn I wish we had joel lindpere" and "oh shit we are going to suck this year".

yeah i bet its better than getting drunk and shouting at players and the ref! (this is great fun too tho)

The hour is still early and the sample size small. But with just four points from three qualifiers and advancement into the fourth qualifying stage no longer straightforward, the realization dawns that the match might not be as hoped for and the marriage not guaranteed to always be a happy one.

Zusi was surprisingly goodJones is looking lamer by the gameToo bad it's taken Herc 30 years to get to this point1-0 when needing a win is acceptable of course and they hit the frame at least 3 times, but it still seems like they are capable of so much more

I like that Bocanegra comes in and gif bombs Clint.
There was a lot of handbags and bullshit in that game last night. Cheap and divey from both sides.

So there is the usual "Klinsi out" chatter flying around. With only a 16-player roster (+3 goalies) available for tomorrow vs Guatemala, is anyone else feeling slightly nervous?

Dempsey is a diver, it pissed me off to see that again. Not a bad game overall though.

Can't believe the turnaround on opinions of Eddie Johnson after these past two games. Now instead of shitting on him they're shitting on Klinsmann playing him in midfield.
