Game starts at 7pm on ESPN Classic and Galavision.

Feel free to post streams as you find them.


The USA lineup in practice yesterday was:

--------------Howard-------------

Dolo---Onyewu---Boca---Pearce

Donovan-Kljestan-Bradley-Beaz

-------Dempsey-----Ching-------

But that doesn't mean it will be the starting lineup, but seems likely.



I'm off to the game now...get some tailgating in. GO USA!!! Win and were in (the hex)!

That one will work nicely for me. :)

Surely hopes Bob Bradley will get some new blood injected into the starting 11 -- and actually look like some attacking soccer will be played.

Exactly what giffenbone said the day-before practice lineup was.

No surprises from Bob, it appears.

Goff's got the lineup: switch Dempsey and Donovan, and that is it.

[shadowmwo]

I hope Jose Franisco starts , I Really wanna see him out there.

[StillKickin]

Matchtracker has us playing a 4-5-1, both Donovan and Dempsey in midfield, Ching lone forward.

He won't start; that's now been confirmed. Steven Goff is as reliable a source as anyone in the media business.

But provided the circumstances warrant it, I'd love to see Altidore, Adu and Torres get into the match at some point.

4-5-1 is a crappy formation. :(

If we have a lead going into the half, I'm praying that BB makes those three subs.

My MatchTracker link isn't even showing up. Time to reload ussoccer.com, I guess.

But as much as I deplore a 4-5-1 and would rather see a 4-4-2, at least the personnel out there makes it suggest that we'll see more of an attacking style from the USA. Let's hope so.

[TigersFIMA]

It may look more like a 4-2-3-1 at times with Beas, Dempsey, and Donovan pretty far forward in the attack.
