I'm sorry if this has already been posted, but here is a statement from UEFA confirming the US-Holland friendly in February. http://www.euro2004.com/competitions/EURO/news/Kind=1/newsId=133944.html
Green The UEFA website makes me envious. Why can't our confederation get its site to look presentable?
Ahhh. So they finally set the USMNT's funeral date...jk. I mean come on, the Dutch are awesome. I pray that we win, but would be thrilled with a draw.
Re: Green It's sad how our confederation's web site isn't as good as most A-League team sites. http://www.uefa.com http://www.concacaf.com
Re: Ahhh. I could actually care less who won. I just want to be entertained and see our guys go after them. Lets get some free flowing soccer going here and let the attackers have some fun.
Re: Re: Re: Ahhh. thritto. though not caring less is a little strong. We have to admit we'd be pretty thrilled with a win. At least the Dutch in Amsterdam will believe I am thrilled if it happens.
wonder what got it switched from Rotterdam to A'dam? I'm still there though...finally get to see a US match
Re: Re: Re: Re: Ahhh. well you get the idea I mean the most important thing for this match is for USA to give Holland a good game. We don't start qualifying until June and even then we're playing some minnow. Holland can use this match to see where they stand as they start going through players for Euro 2004. While we aren't Germany we're not chopped liver. -EDIT I think some part of me wants to see the massive uproar that happens if Holland rolls us. Dear lord could you imagine the choas??
Splarg and I were having a little trouble getting to Rott, so we made some calls. How you getting there?
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Ahhh. and the thing is, this is probably going to be the best team we've ever faced. They're going to be tuning up for Euro, guys looking for spots. The talent on that team is unfrickingbelievable. I am afraid, but if there's one thing I like about Bruce Arena, it's that the players who take the field are going to believe they can win.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Ahhh. Well they have better attacking talent than anyone else in the world. But this is why I think that this USA team assembled will be the most talented USA team ever. Like I said I don't care all that much about the score line (even thogh it'll feel damn good to get a draw or a tie out of this), but I will definatly be dissapointed if we just end up in a defensive shell for the whole match. Thats not why Holland invited us to play them. And I also wanna see Holland BRING it. For sheer entertainment value.
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Ahhh. both US-HOLLAND matches have been entertaining, they seem to agree to come at each other - i wouldnt expect much shell game btw nice avatar... i guess it would be nice if i could touch her body
Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Ahhh. But we don't know who Bruce is going to bring yet. And he doesn't have the same reasons for brining his best as Holland.
WOAH! hahahahah, I missed that. Than just fly to Amsterdam for like 25-50 bucks less. Huhuh, good times though.
Maybe a draw, but I just won't be satisfied with a tie I really hope to attend this match though. For all the reasons mentioned above. And I mean ALL of them
