Goff states taht we should watch Fabian Johnson on the left. Expecting him to be the wing help on the left, Zusi slamming in crosses on the right.... Torres dropping back to help on LB when he goes up.... Should be interesting...
If praying is your thing, say a few hail marry's or whatever it is you do, and hope Jam does not score first. I have even less confidence in this lineup if we have to play from behind.
So Torres is going to cover for Johnson? He'll be gassed in the 20th minute.. Anyone up for a bevie or 8? Smh..
Not sure why people are so against this lineup. With the players called in its close to the best that can be done. USA wins 3-0 tonight, stop fretting people
Pause... Why aren't Jozy or Boyd starting? Deuce has the best footballing brain on the pitch, and he's isolated to the front line? This is the exact same thing Ben Olsen tried to do with DeRosario and couldn't produce a goal. The moment he stuck that IQ in the midfield, goals galore.
I'm not sure I can watch. I really can't believe this team is in a virtual must-win this early in qualification. That brilliant free kick in Guatamala to equalize really eliminated the safety margin for this team. The scenario I worry most about is the game heading into the 50th and 60th minutes as a draw -- 0-0 or whatever. A draw will seem like a loss, and I worry about pressing and giving up a counter. Whatever happens, if they give up another free kick near the box, I'm going to puke. Three straight goals conceded on free kicks. Something about free kick alignment and defense isn't working.
