Wtf are they doing since the goal. Get some possession.

9/11/2012 9:42:19 PM

yeah this has been another ugly game. I'll take the W if we hold on but we look terrible.

9/11/2012 10:02:55 PM

I feel bad for Dempsey

of course I'll take the win, though

9/11/2012 10:06:05 PM

^^1st half was the best us soccer I have seen in a while.

9/11/2012 10:06:48 PM

^^^we looked fantastic for 60 minutes

^^Dempsey looked terrible for about 179 minutes in 2 games against Jamaica


if that first half didn't get your dick hard, you will never enjoy being a US fan

9/11/2012 10:07:08 PM

I'm talking about him in general, not these last 2 games

and of course the first half was great

[Edited on September 11, 2012 at 10:17 PM. Reason : mainly referring to him not playing on a really good National Team while in his prime]

9/11/2012 10:15:13 PM

I'm sure AVB is thrilled he played all 90 both games on the break after not playing a game in months.

[Edited on September 11, 2012 at 10:18 PM. Reason : is stu holden EVER going to play for the usmnt again. is he still rehabbing?]

I picked up about 30 mins into the 1st half due to another obligation and agree we looked good for the remainder of the 1st half. I guess it was just bad timing on my part so it gave me a skewed perspective.

I felt like we looked bad for 90% of the 2nd half. I understand we only needed the W and had the lead but we just looked super unorganized.

9/11/2012 10:38:50 PM

I feel like this team has potential to be a great US team, honestly. Maybe I'm just drinking some Klinsmann kool-aid and I admit I'm more optimistic than most (and more optimistic than I usually am about my teams) but we have the pieces for a good team.

^ yeah, Klinsmann's subs were odd. I thought Williams did a great job at DM so it's kind of a head-scratcher that Klinsmann opted to move him to RM (where he's looked like shit) and bring in a completely out of form Edu. And Shea for Torres wasn't needed when we were already up a goal. Why completely dismantle our midfield when we were keeping the ball so well?

9/11/2012 10:44:05 PM

Agreed. I guess I need to go back and watch the first 30 mins that I DVRd now so that I get a better feeling of how we looked overall.

Roster for final two WCQs before the hex (if we make it) on Friday and next Tuesday

Quote :

"GOALKEEPERS (3) : Brad Guzan (Aston Villa), Tim Howard (Everton), Nick Rimando (Real Salt Lake) DEFENDERS (8) : Carlos Bocanegra (Racing Santander), Geoff Cameron (Stoke City), Edgar Castillo (Club Tijuana), Steve Cherundolo (Hannover), Maurice Edu (Stoke City), Clarence Goodson (Brondby), Fabian Johnson (Hoffenheim), Michael Parkhurst (Nordsjaelland) MIDFIELDERS (8) : Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake), Michael Bradley (Roma), Joe Corona (Club Tijuana), Jermaine Jones (Schalke 04), Sacha Kljestan (Anderlecht), Brek Shea (FC Dallas), Danny Williams (Hoffenheim), Graham Zusi (Sporting Kansas City) FORWARDS (5): Clint Dempsey (Tottenham Hotspur), Landon Donovan (LA Galaxy), Herculez Gomez (Santos), Alan Gordon (San Jose Earthquakes), Eddie Johnson (Seattle Sounders)"

No Jozy. I don't mind that he was left off but I'm little annoyed it was for Gordon/Johnson.

10/8/2012 4:37:00 PM

Does Beckerman have naked pictures of Jurgen or something?

10/8/2012 5:00:04 PM

Jozy is in the form of his life. What could he possibly have done to piss off Klinsmann.

I'll admit I have no clue who Gordon is..

10/8/2012 6:40:07 PM

Where is Feilhaber? Did he retire or something?

10/8/2012 8:48:18 PM

Seriously. If Klinsmann is going to call up Eddie Johnson, he might as well go the whole nine yards and just call up Wondolowski.

I like Zusi though. He might be a player.

10/8/2012 8:48:42 PM

No Donovan (or Shea) for the next two games now either. Ugh...

So any reason Boyd didn't get a call up? 5 goals in 9 games for his club.

10/9/2012 5:42:56 PM

Ridiculous that Jozy didn't get called up. Sit him on the bench if you're trying to punish/motivate/inspire him. His form is better than anybody in any position on the team.

10/9/2012 7:39:39 PM

I'm not sure if any of you saw this over the weekend.

GOALKEEPERS (3) : Brad Guzan (Aston Villa), Tim Howard (Everton), Nick Rimando (Real Salt Lake)

DEFENDERS (8) : Carlos Bocanegra (Racing Santander), Geoff Cameron (Stoke City), Edgar Castillo (Club Tijuana), Steve Cherundolo (Hannover), Maurice Edu (Stoke City), Clarence Goodson (Brondby), Fabian Johnson (Hoffenheim), Michael Parkhurst (Nordsjaelland)

MIDFIELDERS (8) : Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake), Michael Bradley (Roma), Joe Corona (Club Tijuana), Jermaine Jones (Schalke 04), Sacha Kljestan (Anderlecht), Brek Shea (FC Dallas), Danny Williams (Hoffenheim), Graham Zusi (Sporting Kansas City)

FORWARDS (5): Clint Dempsey (Tottenham Hotspur), Landon Donovan (LA Galaxy), Herculez Gomez (Santos), Alan Gordon (San Jose Earthquakes), Eddie Johnson (Seattle Sounders)"

Updated roster for tomorrow.

Gordon on this team is so dumb when he's not even the best striker on his own fucking MLS team.

My guess at the starting lineup: Cameron, Goodson, Dolo, Boca in the back. Williams, Jones, Bradley, Zusi in the midfield. Dempsey and Gomez up front. Bench is fucking weak as hell. Better hope we get some goals early because if we're looking for something in the second half, our only hope is Eddie Johnson.

10/11/2012 2:28:32 PM

This beIN channel is starting to piss me off

10/11/2012 2:32:39 PM

My lineup prediction was right, except he's starting Johnson for Jones. That's pretty surprising.

10/12/2012 6:43:09 PM

that's why I'm a nobody and Klinsmann is who he is. GAM with the header, 1-0 USA

[Edited on October 12, 2012 at 7:30 PM. Reason : lol and the Antigua equalizer like 5 minutes later. fuck.]

10/12/2012 7:27:08 PM

Wow, BigSoccer must be in full-scale meltdown by now.

Never actually watched the USA-Barbados game from 2000. Suppose I should go find it.

10/12/2012 8:17:10 PM

Eddie fucking Johnson. Grown. Ass. Man.

10/12/2012 8:55:54 PM

Ugh! We have to start doing better than this against CONCACAF teams.

10/12/2012 8:59:07 PM

Just flirting with complete disaster

10/12/2012 9:04:34 PM

Was the game actually on timewarner? I figured it was on pay per view again.

10/12/2012 10:33:59 PM

What game was played in the middle of a soaking wet cricket ground during '06 WCQ? Was it Grenada?

Edit: Yeah, second leg of Round Two in Grenada. LOL @ the puddles: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cqnQDwqgJYc

Neither, brahhh. Al Jazeera's new sports channel beIN available only on DirecTV - rights to all away games, I believe.

USA-Guatemala on Tuesday should be on ESPN5 since it's in KC. And it should be interesting since we could barely beat a pair of islands with 1/3750 the population of our nation.

I've been to Antigua dozens of times...cricket is bigger there than soccer. And just layin' around is even more popular than cricket.

[Edited on October 13, 2012 at 12:24 AM. Reason : ^^]

10/13/2012 12:24:25 AM

Not that the US team shouldn't wipe the floor with Antigua, but I think the recent relative success may be due to Antigua now having a team in one of the minor US leagues. Most of the Antigua team probably plays for the same club.

10/13/2012 4:32:08 PM

That team was dead last in the US 3rd division.

10/13/2012 9:55:48 PM

bump for tonight's game at 7. we need a tie to advance and so does Guatemala. Hopefully we kick the shit out of them and Jamaica wins big at Antigua but I doubt either of those things happen.

10/16/2012 12:42:01 PM

I want to see Zusi ball out


... and Deuce score

COYS

10/16/2012 12:45:52 PM

I'm more than a little worried about this one. Predict its gonna be 0-0 for a while.

10/16/2012 5:36:54 PM

0-0 would be jim dandy by me.
