I knew that Costa Rica game was killer in terms of the yellows, but never once thought it would be a dagger to the Dynamo and my fantasy team as well. This loss will be very hard to overcome Sunday.
Putting Jozy in with a yellow before the Mexico game was stupid. Jozy getting a yellow was fuking stupid.
So not only are the Dynamo unuseually weakened by the Brad Davis call up, they are also uniquely hurt by SJE losing Goodson. The Dynamo need SJE to win at home against PHU Sunday night.
Nah, the dynamo don't need SJE. We just need to win all home games and adjust the adjusted weighted home advantaged TABLE, trust Dom, kiss the FO, love our owners, and we win the SS and the cup.
Anyone else think that Davis could have been called in AFTER the Sunday game? I mean he is not going to start against Mexico. Or am I just off.
If he played the full 90, he'd be pretty much worthless for any action on Tuesday. Klinsmann can't take that chance.
I apologize for insulting you. I am pissed that we are losing so bad, so im getting over it by poking fun of the sunshine people. On my defense, i didn't use any insulting terms or called you names (but you did). Please forget my post. I enjoy your posts also. Peace?
Thanks bro. I couldnt sleep last night wondering if you were going to castigate me with the látigo of your desprecio (to quote my badlingual niece). You are all right.
At least Boniek didn't go full 90.....but hes off this weekend either way :/ , here's to hoping he gets a much needed rest and gets his concentration back and scores a hat trick next game!
2014 Camp Cupcake roster announced: http://m.ussoccer.com/news/mens-national-team/2014/01/140103-mnt-january-roster.aspx U.S. ROSTER BY POSITION – Detailed Roster GOALKEEPERS (4): Tally Hall (Houston Dynamo), Bill Hamid (D.C.

Yedlin gets the nod, but not Sarkodie.... Can't say I'm to happy about that. I can understand Ashe not being called up.
I don't see why Yedlin was considered over Sarkodie. Maybe I will one day, but right now Sarkodie seems to be a better fullback defensively, and in attack. Sarkodie is less prone to the errors that we saw Yedlin make all season.
Could be that Seattle hype I don't know but he looked good at the start of the season but after that I didn't see much honestly. Edit: Well I guess that's it for Rico and his days as NT player shame Klinsmann didn't give him another chance either.
I think it's kind of irrelevant. He's not better than Rimando. And when it's time for the real games we all know it will be Howard, Guzan, Rimando. There's no room at the Inn for Mr. Hall.
Tally's other problem is age. He's 28, and Guzan is only 29. If Howard and Rimando end their respective USMNT careers soon (both are 34), Guzan is just a year older and far better. Goalies do age better than the other ten on the field, and the numbers just won't give him much of a window. By the time the guys in front of him will be done, it'll be more important to have a long-time successor lined up. With Jurgen coaching through 2018 (or at least getting paid to), he's going to continue looking ahead. That's not to disparage Tally, it's just a harsh reality.
