It would be nice to give a chance to an up-and-coming coach who maybe proved himself in the Development Academy. Someone in their 30's would be...
Re: Stuart Holden Hurt, could miss up to 6 months Holden plays as if he has the body of Essien. He throws himself into tackles with much larger...
All of the players are good enough. Even Gooch, who hoofs balls down field in every game for the national team, manages to play on the ground out...
The same and more was said of Eddie Johnson when he was playing in the youth national team. He scored in bundles and everyone said he was a...
I can't see any scout being impressed with Findley. There has to be thousands of equal talents in the lower leagues of South American and in...
Bradley said he went with Clarke against Ghana because he wanted "fresh legs." So this sort if implies that Edu is the first choice if "fresh"....
Howard should have been positioned a step closer to the near post. Demerit's positioning covered the far post, actually, so Prince-Boateng could...
Sorry. Bad phrasing. The others had chances on goal but it was clear that they had no chance in converting those opportunities. Findley and Gomes...
Findley has NEVER scored for the US. Not just in this World Cup. Never. We started a forward three times who has never produced a goal for the team.
Our forwards didn't score in four games. Altidore has the excuse of youth, and he created some chances for others, but the rest of them - Findley,...
I like Klinsman. With Reyna on his side wearing an identical tight shirt.
Does anyone know if there's ever been a forward, besides Findley, who has started three games in a World Cup without ever scoring for his country?
And Bob Bradley to Fulham.
I think Altidore will find it hard to break into a professional European team. He loses the ball far too much and he doesn't have much technique....
Findley had the opportunity to make something of this World Cup. And maybe this was Bradley's reasoning for going back to him against Ghana - for...
I like the proposed idea of Klinsman with a Loew-type assistant that he's grooming, maybe Siggi Schmidt or even a Nowak. Since our youth...
I think Altidore hurt his chances. No goals, a lot of turnovers, sometimes lazy play, I think he'll have to turn up his game if he's going to even...
Balboa is all right but much better than Harkes since he isn't arrogant and talking about himself all game. But Chris Sullivan is by far the best...
Sullivan is by far the best American color guy. He understands the game better than anyone else and can describe what he's thinking. Harkes tries...
As said in the other post, the fillers could have been actors, but I didn't recognize any of them.
Juan Pablo did not play, and Altidore took it easy. But from my memory (I only watched the first half), these were the teams: Reyna Berhalter...
It isn't the coach. The coach can put the team out there and devise the strategy that will create the chances. It is up to the players to finish...
This U-23 team is the WORST team I have ever seen in the final third of the field. With countless chances, it seems almost impossible for any of...
I know this is off-topic, sort of. But this reminded me of a year ago when I saw sitting at a cafe in Lima, Peru, and a guy walked past wearing a...
How many seasons are we giving Zizzo before he's back in the MLS? I'm not being a pessimist here, but Zizzo seems to have little technical...
