Okay, so I want to buy a US Jersey to support my country this year, but don't know who's name I want on the back. I'm an RSL fan, so I'm thinking Findley, but I don't if he'll make it. Love Dempsey. But I just can't make up my mind. Help would be appreciated. USA!
I wouldn't recommend going with Findley. He's probably got the worst chance of all forwards of making the final 23. You can't go wrong with one of these core guys: Dempsey, Donovan, Gooch, Boca, Bradley, Jozy or Howard if you don't mind a GK. You can bet they'll start every big game for the next few years, probably. I'd go Dempsey, myself as well.
Everyone has a Dempsey, Donovan, etc. I myself have a Donovan Go with the player who is representing your club.
Umm, did I say worst chance? I meant that Bradley likes him so much that he won't even need to look at him in the gut Czech game. I hope you held out for Findley.
To late. I bought Dempsey. But after reading the article on him in SI, I love the guy even more. Trust me, I'm surprised Findley made it to
Had placed an order for my Away Dempsey Jersey #8 then bigsoccer called me and said they were out of the letter "e" and "i" as well as the number "8." Two weeks at least for the letters and number kits to get there. Bummer. Switched to a #10 Donovan.
Does anyone know when the specific numbers will be assigned to players? I wanted to get an Altidore but don't know what number he'll be wearing? Correct me if I'm wrong but the following are probably pretty set: 3-BocaNegra, 4-Bradley, 5-Onyewu, 6-Cherundolo, 7-Beasley, 8-Dempsey, 10-Donovan, 13-Clark?, 19-Edu, 22-Holden GK: 1-Howard, 18-Guzan, 19-Hahnemann (wouldn't put # on a field jersey) Please add others if you know the numbers?
Altidore said on twitter that he'll be 17. (DaMarcus was 17 in 2006 but lately he's been 7 when Eddie Lewis isn't around.)
Thanks! Good to know b/c on the ESPN Magazine World Cup guide he's wearing #12 while standing next to Landon Donovan. It just seems like last World Cup the roster and numbers were set a lot sooner than this time around, which allowed for more time to figure out which jersey to buy. Last time I got a #20 McBride Home and a #17 Beasley Away. What jerseys are people getting this time around?
Yeah, last time I got a McBride 20 too. This time I was going with Dempsey but my buddy got Dempsey and its gotta be some sort of man card violation to wear the same shirt around to games. I went with Jozy since I met him at a Lakers game couple weeks ago.
