Don't forget -- he created Bradley's goal against Slovenia. And Donovan's goal against Algeria. Altidore is a hell of a player who had a...
Bradley should get credit for being ego-free enough to take off Clark after mistakenly starting him. But that's about it. He had three big...
Starving Gator is right -- during qualifiers, we'll have basically the same set up (clark and beasley will be gone but dempsey and donovan will be...
Today, our forwards weren't great, but the idea that Jozy isn't good or didn't have a good cup is a hysterical overreaction. Altidore set up the...
Why isn't SK attacking down the left flank more -- they have focused their attack on the right, but each time they've attacked down the left,...
Although a 0-0 draw is the best result, I think the thing I'd like to see is that the teams are lousy or out of form. Coming into the world cup,...
There are 8 seeded teams, so assuming Uruguay holds on, the breakdown is 13 Euro teams, 6 African (including the hosts), 5 South American, 4...
I think the problems are very different: In midfield, we have a lot of talent, but a difficult time making the players fit together. Bradley...
I actually was thinking about trying it out when Donovan wasn't in (I assume he'll play 45) or with Donovan pushed up. (So, with a Holden or...
I'd play a nearly full side, but with a tactical change, use the game to learn something about the boys against a team that will really care....
The 2002 team was young too -- Donovan and Beasley, who were keys to the team, were very young too -- although the 2002 team was more seasoned....
I doubt Bradley sits Donovan on account of a worry about card accumulation, but I can see it affecting substitution patterns, particularly if we...
I haven't seen many of their qualifier this round -- outside of our win and what was a pretty ragged second half against mexico. Taking into...
I remember that one too. Show us your Clint! Although look at this lineup: United States: Brad Friedel; David Regis, Jeff Agoos, Carlos...
So... Am I right that there is no difference between us getting a draw and us losing against Honduras? If home form holds for CR and Mexico in...
According to Wikipedia, Nick Sakiewicz played for Belenenses years ago....
I still quite figure out why everyone assumes that, just because the top teams have been winning at home, it will continue this way. We easily...
The important thing to remember is that weird things happen in qualifying. Remember 2002 qualifying, when we might not have made it if Honduras...
Schrutebrook is close, I think, but I bet BB (and me, to tell you the truth) would like a pure defensive midfielder on the bench in case we get a...
Well, that was brutal..... As bad as Heaps was, I think Pearce was equally bad. He got caught upfield. A lot.
Absent injuries, Ching, Davies and Altidore will be our first three forwards in 2010 (not sure whether there will be a 4th, though). Each will...
If we win, I would love to see Bornstein brought it to play on the right, not the left. If he can cover both positions, it would give the team a...
Captain 10 hit the nail. Definitely 2 defensive midfielders, with the attack running through Holden and Rogers on the wings. Marshall and Conrad...
Given the talent we have on hand, I think we are going to have to play with 2 defensive midfielders -- both Pause and Beckerman -- close down the...
Holden is ahead of Sascha and is right on the edge of making the team, but not because he is so great -- although I think he's been quite good in...
