He drew five yellows against defenders in the Group stage. That's the sort of thing that scouts will take note of, even if he's not scoring goals.
The senior team is going to get worse before it gets better. And when thinking about 2014, we first have to get through 2012 and 2013. It's...
0-0 by far is the best result. It's not even close.
That's gonna be on the internet as a new "epic fail" forever.
Listen to Carlos Bocanegra on this topic: He needs to grow. He's done good things already, and, you know, he has the potential to do great things....
I am never going to fault any coach for playing his best players in a competitive match. This was the "A" team, and you want your "A" team on the...
All I know is that for 14 years the team has sucked, the management has royally sucked, and the stadium has supremely royally sucked, with the...
I'm sure Obama called Sunil personally to tell him to throw the game.
A draw at HON opens up other avenues for top three that don't exist now -- specifically, instead of needing a win or draw vs. CR, we'd also...
Yes, really. The home record of all six teams in the hex is 18-3-3. As someone said very early in this thread, there are no style points given....
Matchday eight, no one has clinched anything, and five of the six teams are still in it. This is about as good as it gets.
We won on the road in the Hex. Not a single other damn thing matters right now. If you want style, go watch What Not To Wear.
In a match of skill vs. tenacity, skill won. I don't know how you'd consider DeMerit's defending "atrocious"; he was right on top of Fabiano....
Just appreciate the fact that we'll get 180+ more minutes to play competitive matches in SA.
It's been a long time since I've posted here, but I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for the videos and news links, and prayers for peace and...
If anything, Bob showed himself to be too cocky in CR with a 4-3-3 and Beasley at LB. In Azteca I would guess we'll use a 4-5-1 with either Casey...
It's not a big enough sample. Another (equally unfair) way to look at this is, Bruce Arena-coached teams conceded the first goal 15 times in six...
The home record (W-L-D) of the US, Mexico, and Costa Rica combined over the last 3 1/2 rounds of hexagonal qualifying is 41-3-8. The teams went...
We don't really want Mexico to lose here -- we are really better-off if both TNT and ES drop down to the bottom of the hex, since Mexico still has...
This is just patently false. Three home wins + win at TNT = 19 points, which not only gets qualification, but could top the group. The truth is...
A couple of things... 1. This is a "be careful what you wish for" type of situation. Honduras can play, CR can play, and we know that Mexico is...
There's nothing that Freddy would have done on the field last night that would have changed the result. We still would have gone down 2-0 because...
If you're first or second gen immigrant, I can understand a decision to root for your heritage country over the USA, your adopted country - if I...
This feeling is weird - I was kinda bored with this match. I don't think the US were especially good tonight, but Mexico were downright lousy for...
I've decided to treat Oasis the way I treat Bob Dylan - the last show was surprisingly good, so why chance it again when I'm left with a positive...
