Lineup Vs Jamaica Prediction contest

[ursula]

The interesting thing about the standard lineup thread is the wide variety of possible starting lineups being thrown out. Collectively we have no real idea what Arena is gonna do. I like that.

So why not have a quickie contest?


The goal: predict the US starting lineup and subs Arena will use vs Jamaica.

Scoring:

1 point for correctly predicting a starter, regardless of where they start.

1 point for predicting the correct starting position of a player.

(In other words if JOB starts and you predict it you get one point. You get another point if you correctly predict that JOB starts at.. I dunno- left wing say.)

1 point for getting the entire defense, midfield, and/or forward lines right. Up to 3 points can be earned this way. (Sorry the keeper doesn't come into this.)

1 point for each sub correctly predicted.

An additional 1 point for correctly predicting who that player subs in for.

Tie breaker:

Name the minute each sub enters play.

Do you think we have enough up top to get the scoring we need to win?

Donovan out in the 80 minute so you think we have the game won by the 80 minute? I hope your right.

Armas for Quaranta 75 minute to help hold the lead? When we do that we have more of a tendcy to clear out of pressure then to play out of pressure. We become weaker when we clear out of pressure that does not make it easier on the defense it makes it harder.

This looks like playing with only 3 mids right? You think we won't lose the midfield with just three mids?

For the lucky subs:


Wolff for Noonan in 70'
Armas for O'Brien in 75'

[Onionsack]

NE has a big game so i wouldn't doubt Bruce maybe holding one NE player out and also subbing off Donovan if they get in a good position.

............Marcus..............
Hedjuk....Gooch...Pope...Vanney
Quaranta...Donovan...Pablo...Beasely
........Noonan.....Wolff


O'Brien for Donovan
Davis for Beasley
Armas for Pablo

Rally and Dempsey play for NE that night
Donovan gets subbed by 60' and is released to play Madrid.
