HailtotheYo Posted June 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Very very happy that Brad Evans had a great game considering how much shit he gets from fans on a regular basis. Well, as a mid he's nothing spectacular. He has a great game and then is just there for several matches at a time ... but damn he freaking looked great at RB though.

Want to see Hall finally get some time. GOOOOOCH !!!! Interesting to see Beasley on the GC roster, and hopefully Boca can come back and be himself. The midfield is pretty much what I expected and I'm glad to see Feilhaber back in the mix as well as Gatt finally being called in. Stewie in the shirt again will be nice to see, and .... EJ is a mid now ? Bruin, JackMac, and Wood getting a shot, I love also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szumi Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 (edited) JackMac is nowhere near USA-international quality. Does not put in the effort off the ball required. Lazy striker. I like him and hope he does well though, despite my criticism of him. I still believe that Sheannon Williams should be the first Union player to get a crack at the national team, always have liked him and his engine. I wish him or Sean Franklin would get a real look at a tournament like this, when we'll be heavy favorites and have low expectations going into the Cup.

gunnar hendershow Posted June 8, 2013 Report Share Posted June 8, 2013 Brad Evans! Great night for US soccer. Mexico is losing some more ground, I'd say it's 50/50 they have to play New Zealand. Also, GoGo are you going to the Panama match? I'm debating going to the US-Mexico match in DC on Sept. 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So as long as my vocal chords can repair themselves after tonight's fantastic Sounders match I'll be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailtotheYo Posted June 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 Super Raton is out against the US ! Good news for us as Mr Blas Perez usually plays well against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailtotheYo Posted June 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 and for the US, Zusi is out (card accumulation) as well as Jones (concussion likely keeping him out) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Szumi Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 So who comes in tonight for Jones and Zusi? I am REALLY hoping Klinnsman stays away from Brad Davis and Eddie Johnson. Johnson and Boyd both have not impressed me lately, and Davis is just too slow for the international game. I think Cameron is smart in the midfield to let Bradley go forward. The right wing is a tricky one. I am thinking of maybe Kjlestan. I know he plays in the middle now, but with how deep Panama will defend, an extra dab of creativity might help.

GoGo Yubari Posted June 11, 2013 Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Eddie Johnson's going to start because it's in Seattle and the only obvious better options are either out due to accumulation or didn't get called in, unless Klinsmann seriously opts to put Fabian Johnson on the right and either DMB or Davis on the left. Kjlestan in the middle for Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gunnar hendershow Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Oh Seattle The point when I could clearly hear "USA ain't nothin' to fuck with" on national TV was the moment when I got sad that nowhere else in the country is like you, you liberal coffee-drinking metropolis.

HailtotheYo Posted June 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 That was a fantastic performance and a great night of results. Mexico held again only kicks them in the balls. We're two points up, two goals up, and have a game in hand.... Honduras next Tuesday and Boniek Garcia might be out (subbed of in 29th with muscle problems, that's from Diez in Hondruas) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GoGo Yubari Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 So basically as long as we get three or four points in the next five games we're assured qualification. And one of those next five games is Jamaica at home. We are going to Brazil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailtotheYo Posted June 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 The chants at the end of the match were wonderful: We are going to Braaazil .... we are going to Braaazil ... we are going, we are going, we are going to Braaaaziiiiiiilll ! Team played well after about 15 minutes in, and really it should have been 3-4 to nothing. Clear handball not called, Dempsey heading like 8 shots right at the keeper, Eddie's one timer .... plenty of chances created. The table after six matches: Team v t e Pld W D L GF GA GD Pts United States 6 4 1 1 7 3 +4 13 Costa Rica 6 3 2 1 7 3 +4 11 Mexico 6 1 5 0 3 2 +1 8 Honduras 6 2 1 3 6 7 −1 7 Panama 6 1 3 2 5 7 −2 6 Jamaica 6 0 2 4 2 8 −6 2 What makes this awesome, is that Mexico still has to come here and go to Costa Rica ... and still play Honduras. They could be in real trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
