Neither Frankie or Bradley are what would be considered "impact players". Young Bradley may be some day. But he ain't there yet. We will lose...
Best game I have seen him play so far against Canada, then he had to go and do that very stupid challenge from behind. But hey, he is very young,...

9-0-1 ya thats right....but! Who the hell did we beat in those 10 games? The last two gold cup games have been less than stellar If...
In watching the Mex - Arg game today I noticed they did not come out in a defensive 4-5-1 formation, even though they were playing a better team....
The Mexicans have a leauge that is much more competitive and in-line with leagues around the rest of the world, unlike MLS. Sorry, invalid comparison.
I agree with Hector & Jane, too much whining about refs and conspiracys. I really don't believe all this tlak about how this will result in less...
I can agree with Quieroz as our next coach, and he is already very familiar with the good and the bad of your youth system and MLS. I would prefer...
Time for all of us to face the cold hard truth, we are not there yet. It won't happen over night, and probably not in 2010 either. But we'll be...
Your theories about Ghana being as good as Argentina will be tested next round against Brasil, without Essien, I don't think they stand a chance....
Ante Razov anyone?
this is spot on, we don't have the players to honestly think we have a chance to win the World Cup. The fact that we were even still alive in this...
WTF? why did he wait almost 20 minute to brong on EJ? Makes absolutely no sense? why not make that adjustment at the half? Can anyone give me any...
The Dempsey goal was a fine piece of finishing, but there is no doubt that Arena has made a mistake here by choosing to play with one forward. The...
I agree totally, but if we can't nit pick then we have no reason to waste our time on this board and we would have to do real work.
ok, I will concede that point, but why not sub closer to the end then to eat up some clock, after all a draw is the result we want at that point,...
finally, someone who makes sense! There would have been no harm in letting EJ have a crack at things.
Re: Hysterical screaming your the one resorting to name calling. Perhaps the learning curve is on the other side.
I am quite confident that Italy will beat the Czechs, the bigger question is can we beat Ghana? Who will replace Mastro and Pope? JOB and Conrad?
Re: Hysterical screaming My guess is Totti was hurting from the knock he took agaisnt Ghana. Arena did no "skinning" of Lippi. DeRossi gave him...
good point. All those defending Bruce for not making the third sub, why didn't he just use it to add a defender if a draw was what he wanted?
Re: Hysterical screaming ra-ra? share the board? Arrogance is ugly. If you read 100% of my original post I bascially agree with you, I just...
Beasley is not "defensively challenged"? He looks challenged with every aspect of the game.
Yes, I think it would have given us a better chance to score a goal, McBride was spent, the Italian denfense was spent, why not replace McBride...
I think we should have went with a 3-5-2, with EJ and McBride up top. I think we could have put Italy on their heels, taken an early lead and then...
