Aron Johannsson will make the WC roster. Obviously a player at this level.

8/14/2013 4:21:27 PM

JOZY IS A GOLDEN GOD

8/14/2013 4:23:28 PM

Johannsson has been great so far, JOZY is a stud.

8/14/2013 4:23:59 PM

lol i was joking about how so many guys are out that freaking jozy is taking the free kick and look a there. he puts it in. man on fire.

8/14/2013 4:24:51 PM

lol. best striker in the world

8/14/2013 4:25:20 PM

fucking hell

8/14/2013 4:25:29 PM

shit is awesome.

8/14/2013 4:25:47 PM

I have a boner

8/14/2013 4:26:38 PM

Things are looking up for Sunderland.

Dzeko scores and this ain't over.

[Edited on August 14, 2013 at 4:29 PM. Reason : .]

8/14/2013 4:28:47 PM

dzeko is a fucking beast though

8/14/2013 4:29:30 PM

12 in a row.

8/14/2013 4:33:05 PM

basically 4 goals for alitdore if you add the awesome assist

8/14/2013 4:33:14 PM

Great second half for our boys. Down 0-2 at half, and win 4-3. Nice

8/14/2013 4:37:02 PM

never going to lose again

[Edited on August 14, 2013 at 4:41 PM. Reason : if we win the next 4, think we will get a seed?]

8/14/2013 4:38:49 PM

Aron Johannson had unbelievable control and his first touch was great. Very excited to watch Jozy this year in England too..

Not only did he score a hat trick but they were all very nice goals.

8/14/2013 5:49:30 PM

what in the world. I went from frustrated with our overall look and depth early in WC qualifying to now feeling like we have one of the deepest teams we have had in awhile. And we're actually scoring a lot of goals.

I hope we continue the momentum and tear up the rest of CONCACAF.

8/14/2013 6:02:21 PM

That free kick goal was nasty

8/14/2013 7:04:17 PM

Can we ban E Man from soccer threads?

8/14/2013 7:58:07 PM

Thanks for the links. That free kick was nasty!

Replay appears to be on ESPN2 at 9:00.

8/14/2013 8:42:26 PM

^^don't hate on me because brooks isn't ready. brooks isn't ready. i know its a friendly and thats why we experimented with the lineup. He's a great coach but I wanted to keep the streak alive. We need to be ranked as high as possible to have a chance. Thank goodness altidore went superman to save our poor defense today.

8/14/2013 9:32:19 PM

Dvr cut off right at injury time, I take it we survived!

8/14/2013 9:32:25 PM

If we happen to be in form and can defend a little better in Brazil I could see this squad making a serious run. Talent wise this could be one of our best WC squads ever. Crazy how things have changed since the doom and gloom after losing to Mexico in the Gold Cup 2011.

8/15/2013 6:44:23 AM

^ exactly.

8/15/2013 7:23:24 AM

Depth chart I found on another board. I don't agree with some stuff - Cherundolo has lost his starting spot, Beckerman should be higher, Dempsey should probably be a forward - but it's a good look at our pool right now.



[Edited on August 15, 2013 at 8:27 AM. Reason : his "AM" is any midfielder that isn't a CM too]

8/15/2013 8:26:14 AM

Was Bosnia at full strength yesterday? I think our win was made a little more impressive with no Donovan or Dempsey. Those two plus Altidore gives us three guys I feel very confident in being able to score goals against top-flight competition.

8/15/2013 10:04:24 AM

Never heard of Edgar Castillo before but his picture up there made me lol.

8/15/2013 10:10:13 AM

From what I've read, their starting lineup was mostly a strong squad. They did make 4 changes at halftime so obviously that had something to do with our comeback.

I know the jerseys are fake but is the site legit?

I have a Firefox plugin installed that warns me when I'm trying to go to a questionable site. It hardly ever alerts me, but it does on that one.

Trustworthiness: Very poor
Vendor reliability: Poor
Privacy: Poor

8/16/2013 2:31:21 PM

Yeah, that seems shady as fuck.

8/16/2013 2:34:11 PM

Not only are those fake, they're extra shitty looking fakes.

8/16/2013 3:28:44 PM

well please point me to a good alternative because even the real replicas are way too expensive. "I'm like yo, thats 50 dollars for a tee shirt."

When I go to flea markets or chinatown, they have the old ones and every other country's new one and every club team for like 35 but not this one.

8/16/2013 3:44:34 PM

I always buy them a few years after on eBay.

Just bought this one for $19.99 today, actually.

8/17/2013 9:40:14 AM

I have the same jersey, but #11 Brian Ching instead. Probably the rarest jersey on earth.

8/17/2013 10:10:31 AM

hahah that's random as fuck. I'm guessing you got a deal on it?

I typically get jerseys with no names.

8/17/2013 11:06:09 AM

yeah but thats ugly as shit and i want one now not in 2 years wtf would you suggest that. "o just wait 2 years and buy it"

8/17/2013 12:07:34 PM

u rite. go to http://www.queenjerseys.org

I highly recommend.

8/17/2013 12:11:41 PM

oh no

anyone but Ching

8/17/2013 12:17:54 PM

Go USA!!!!!!! I'm so excited! My cousin is getting married on July 19, 2014 instead of in June! Now I can watch the World Cup!

8/21/2013 10:29:55 PM

Jozy scored his first goal for Sunderland today.

8/28/2013 12:47:59 AM

looks like some fifa13 video game bullshit setup that goal

8/28/2013 12:49:02 AM

lol it totally does

8/28/2013 9:34:04 AM

they all count

8/28/2013 11:17:55 AM

Brooks and Johannsson both called up for the next WCQ games.

GK - Guzan, Howard, Rimando
Df - Beasley, Besler, Brooks, Cameron, Castillo, Evans, Gonzalez, Orozco
Md - Beckerman, Bedoya, Bradley, Diskerud, F. Johnson, Jones, Zusi
Fw - Altidore, Dempsey, Donovan, Johannsson, E. Johnson

8/29/2013 3:39:19 PM

Donovan as a forward means he or Johnson will sit I guess. Unfortunate.

8/29/2013 3:44:08 PM

you might want to do some research on that

8/29/2013 3:57:49 PM

YOU GUYS THEY HAVE TO PLAY IN THEIR ASSIGNED POSITION

8/29/2013 3:58:57 PM

No surprise with any of the roster decisions. My prediction for starting XI:

Howard

Evans, Besler, Brooks, Beasley

Donovan, Jones, Bradley, F. Johnson

Altidore, Dempsey

8/29/2013 4:42:39 PM

see, no eddie johnson

BECAUSE WE PLAY A 4-4-2

ASSHOLES
