Pre-match: USA v. Jamaica, Oct. 11, 2013

He played there vs. Mexico and played well

 

Man, this sucks. No drama here. I wish we were Mexico, still playing butt-tight games.

 

I would have liked to see GC at RB, but I love the line-up, absolutely love it.

 

I saw him more as a second striker versus MEX, with Dempsey further back and to the left.

 

The one dude playing butt-tight games for Mexico isn't even there:

<-- Tranny

Oh wait, I forgot about this other one:

 

huh? every media source has him down as a LW

 

+1 to loving the lineup.

 

Yes, that's the formal lineup and where he started.

But he moved forward as the game progressed, and was much more dangerous when close to the area.

Now with AJ as SS, he's likely to be LW for the whole game. I haven't seen him play LW for a whole game in a while.

 

Now we know why Vela won't return if Salcido is there! It's all a love triangle!

 

These two matches do allow Jozy to send a statement of sorts to his new manager which could be important.

 

Even if we drop a bunch of guys, Jozy, Besler, intentionally don't bring in Bradley, start an MLS CM at RB, we still aren't as bad as Mexico.

It's tough to be that bad in CONCACAF.

 

Jamaica starting 3 MLSers in attack - Deshorn Brown, Ryan Johnson, Darren Mattocks

Talk about pace, strength, and overall athleticism!

Should be a great test for our back 4.

There's just something depressing about watching Lalas and Keller in suits and Brittney mics...

Jozy wins a header. How's about that?

 

So you disrespect Michael Bradley with the suggestion that he needs a "message" and when I defend him you say that I am confrontational. I will leave it to others to take sides on that one. It is clear where you stand, you are taking the confrontational approach with Michael Bradley. I think y lee got it approximately right if you ask me tho that would not apply to the green girl comments which I'm not getting.

 

I went to take a shower and WOOHOO,... two goals!!!! #1 in CONCACAF Baby!

 

I was wrong, full credit to JAM and @Athlone, JAM did come out and play the USA straight up. USA were totally flat in the first half; but turned it on in the second half with Zusi, Castillo, and Kljestan.
