News: What the Cyber Media is saying today..6/29/2010

US REJECT! clapclapclapclapclap!

 

We really needed a Mcbride or Ching. Buddle was the closest but didnt have the experience.

 

We needed someone who could finish and that is not Ching.

 

If Jozy had a better touch a couple of times, we wouldn't have to see stories like this one...

 

if jozy could finish with consistency outside of concacaf we'd be pushing to the semi's.

 

how many goals did mcbride and ching have in 2006? just wondering

Altidore was way better than any striker in 2006. sure he didn't put it in the net himself but he played a hell of a lot better than mcbride and eddie johnson

 

What does the Honolulu Star-Advertiser have to say about Mark Tuinei, Sid Fernandez and Tia Carrere?

 

How can I take this seriously when the guy doesn't even bother to spell Charlie Davies name correctly in the body of the article?

 

couldn't have done worse

 

of course the honolulu star-advertiser would say that.

 

For US Soccer, it's time to set sights higher - Sally Jenkins, Washington Post

 

he also said Davies was a double-digit goal scorer in France...I guess 2 is a double digit now.

 

He must count in roman numerals: II

 

Seeing as one is a 1, two is 1 and 1.

Clearly now that is a double digit goal scorer.

 

I'm sure Sochaux will be happy to here that "Davis scores in double digits with his club team in France."

What a piece of shit article

 

"Once again we are teased: In 1999, it was the U.S. women's team that won the World Cup, as well as big TV ratings. Now we have a U.S. men's team again getting to the quarter finals and showing some competitive kick in its loss to Ghana, with the biggest TV ratings ever for a soccer event: 19 million viewers. "

Very credible...

 

Well that'd be cool. I'd rather MLS spend the money on improving the refs overall so that players can actually score instead of getting ass-pounded every time they go around a defender, often with no foul called. Oh well, I guess we'll have the technology to know a team scored if they can ever avoid the rugby tackles well enough to actually score.

 

Agreed. Ching not getting on the roster certainly was not the problem. But I will say this, if Bob Bradley just wanted somebody speedy to stretch a defense, Adu would have been the nicer pick.

Wow, that article was awful. It just brings this to mind-

 

We could have used his leaping ability, hold-up play, and clever passes / flicks to teammates. Against the powerful and strong Ghana team, we could have counted on his body strength. I thought Bob Bradley not picking him was a mistake and still think it is.

 

If Jozy had more experience and had balls played to him slightly better he might have scored.

If Rooney didn't suck he might have scored too. and of course Messi is not required to score...scoring in the WC is only demanded of 20 year upstarts. Sorry to vent but the sh*t about Jozy's not scoring is a bit much
