predict the lineup against costa rica

that is not a bad team

 

as long as we're posting "our" lineups, i'll go for something weird
howard
albright-boca-gooch-spector
dmb-mastro-convey-dmb
ching-tino

or
howard
albright-boca-gooch-lewis
clark-spector-convey-mastro-dmb
ching
with convey playing behind ching as a withdrawn forward, and spector & mastro pinching in a bit.

 

That is weird indeed. How about...

dmb
albright-dmb-gooch-dmb
dmb-convey-mastro-dmb
ching-dmb

 

gk- howard

def- albright gooch boca lewis

mid- mastro
Q DMB
convey

for- teabag ching

 

------------- Howard ------------

Spector -- Gooch -- Boca -- Lewis

Quaranta - Clark - Mastro - Convey

------ Ching ----- Twellman ------

 

is it just me or does anyone else have a good feeling about this game???

I don't care who plays...as long Spector gets a chance and Beaz + Convey run the flanks. Hopefully Twellman and Ching FINISH

 

If Quaranta and Beez are knackered:

--------------Ching----------------

--Convey------Clark------Martino---

--------------Mastro----------------

--Lewis-------------------Albright--
-------Boca---Gooch---Spector-------

Why bring 8 defs if you aren't going to play 'em...

 

Things I'm looking at:
Even if Twellman scores don't sing the praises of how great he is. I'm watching how he controls the ball, links with teammates, sets others up, his passes, first touches. Maintain possession and move towards goal. That's what I'm looking for not if he can one touch a cross into the net.
I want to see Spector also. I think he's a fullback not a centerback. I want to see if he stays calm maintains possession remain calm under pressure, I like his athletiescism.
Again If Lewis plays well.
I want to see Martino and Clark. I know what others can do but want to see them. Maybe v Panama.

 

i didn't mean to imply that i had perfected the cloning process with a double dmd lineup, but you never know.

if i were going to do that, then it would be 11 tiny ditkas....

 

This wasn't his first camp ever -- he was in camp prior to Jamaica in Columbus last fall.

 

unfortunately spector doesnt start in costa rica...he gets the nod in boston though...good luck to him

 

Gk: howard

Or

Spam, DMB, DMB. Spam
Spam. spam, DMB Spam
Spam and Spam

 

I remain convinced that the only reason Eddie Lewis is here is to be battle-tested at left back. He is certainly a known quantity at left mid.

 

I don't think this is a difficult conclusion to come to.

 

Is that you, Emperor Palpatine? Unleashing the clone army a bit early, it would appear.

 

I don't like spam!
