I think we're setting up an AOL/AIM Chatroom.

The chatroom name is "Bigsoccer" and if you don't know how to enter the room there are directions for entering a chat on the FAQ on the DCU board.

The US Soccer "Match tracker" shows Brain Dunseth starting at forward? Tell me this is a typo.

[jelliot]

Hedjuk and Beasley are running the flanks very well, the US defense is looking good so far, and Donavan and Mathis are playing with a flare!

[iowa007]

bless your hearts for filling me in.

i would appreciate any and all comments to keep me up to date.

thanks

go US NATS

[Fah Que]

Armas still sucks. You can't have any kind of combination play with Armas in midfield.

[iowa007]

if armas continues to suck, bruce will proabably put in ernie stewart.

that is just my oppinion,

i have to admit i am not watching the game,

i am going by what you guys tell me and the match tracker.

Howard just made an amazing save!
Mexico has no one that can finishl

[Fah Que]

Mexico looks very good. Any Mexican player on the field have 10 times more ball skill than Armas, including the goalkeeper probably.

[jelliot]

McBride is doing his job winning the headers, so far a pretty good showing for the USA, although Pablo has disapeared so far from the game.
Hedjuk just got burned, but Mexico could not convert

[csh2000]

Mexico is looking very good, but they often look good and finish the game without a goal, having given one up on a counter.

[iowa007]

thanks jelliot.

keep me posted.

Mexico is dominating the flanks, Beasley and Hedjuk are getting chewed up in the last 10 minutes.

[Fah Que]

Mexico is great building up attack from the back. US on the other hand can't keep possession because defenders and central midfield can't pass and can't keep possession. US flank players and forwards play well so far.

[iansfavouritecopilot]

seems to be swaying slightly in favour of ther mexicans at the minute.

i remember the WC game was pretty much the same......nothing to worry about, they cant finish

[Fah Que]

Did I say Armas suck?

[Ringo]

NO!!!
my matchtracker keeps crashing at work. and now my wife just called to say power is out at home (good-bye VCR) and from what I can tell ESPN isn't reshowing this game. DAMN!!!!!!!!
