Pre-match: USA @ Ukraine. March 5th 2014 *CANCELLED* ...or maybe not

hoping AJ sees more than garbage minutes.

 

This feeling has slowly been building over the past few days as this match drew closer and events unfolded. This game being a friendly, this type of decision comes easier but in light of all that's gone on I'm going to cheering "slava Ukraina" today. Good luck.

 

I'm hoping I see more than garbage minutes.

 

Keller and Lalas just said Cam has been a liability?.... They pay them for stupid opinions

 

"John Anthony Brooks is one of our biggest talents we have" - Klinsmann about 1 min ago on ESPN

 

Seriously I just muted that

 

Have the reserves been announced?

 

I stopped giving a damn about what Lalas said after all of the numerous stupid things he has said over the years.

99% of the posters on BS have better soccer insight than that ass clown.

 

Don't see a subs bench anywhere.

Ukraine lineup: Pyatov; Fedetskyi, Kucher, Rakytskyi, Makarenko; Tymoshchuk, Rotan; Yarmolenko, Edmar, Konoplyanka; Zozulya. #USMNT

 

I didn't hear the comments but there have been some that have been critical of his play with the USMNT at RB and feel he would be better at CB or DM, both of which Cam himself thinks he is better suited for. In light of Chandlers injury I think some will be more vocal about this..just saying

 

He played lights out against Austria, as well as lights out in the Prem. Haters are fine, but they need to be warranted, of which these are not

 

Somewhat related question:

Does anyone know if a Chrome extension that blocks the browser from opening new windows? Would be extremely helpful on the stream sites.

Thanks!!!

 

I'm not hating on Cameron, it's just a gut feeling that JK would rather have him at CB.

 

Not sure how I feel about these jerseys...

PS. Those who want to watch UniMas - Aereo.com is a site that allows you to "rent" an over-the-air antenna and watch/record broadcasts from over the air channels available in your area. For me at least this includes UniMas. They used to, and probably still do, offer 1 month free.

 

Ukraine just scored.

 

First goal being blamed on Brooks (by CNN/SI):

"12th minute – GOAL UKRAINE!! Onyewu and Brooks leave a MASSIVE gap of space that Garmash runs into to receive a ball over the top. Howard made the initial save, but Yarmolenko easily put back the second opportunity. That’s more on Brooks for being pulled so far to the right."

 

I have not missed Gooch long balls.

 

Brooks almost responsible for a second goal, called offsides.

"16th minute – Man, USA gets a bit lucky with an offside call there, with Kucher seemingly timing his run only to be called off on another ball over the top before serving it up to Yarmolenko on the doorstep. Brooks having a hard go of it in the last few minutes, especially after the goal, caught a break."

 

Our centerbacks are stinking up the joint (from SBI):

"Daniel Karell:
23' Geoff Cameron saves the day as Garmesh nearly wound up with the ball in the box. Yarmolenko is running all over Brooks and Onyewu."

 

Gooch with an almost-own goal. His chances are falling by the second.

"Daniel Karell:
26' Ukraine break down the right but a cross into the middle is sent back to Howard off the foot of Onyweu. Not far from an own-goal."
