Adu just came on in the 37th minute for benfica

 

Wow, he must have impressed someone very quickly up there.

Still suprised that he got the call. Does Benfica not have much of a bench? Is Nuno Gomez playing or still hurt?

Next week's friendly against Sweden would be the perfect time to cap-tie Freddy.

 

How does he look, Seth?

he's not on the roster for Sweden. Sal Zizzo is, though. Weird.

 

I have no idea how he looks because the feed I'm getting here at work is jumpy as all hell.

Wait, the roster is out? I didn't think it would be out until tomorrow.

 

Why would we cap tie Zizzo and not cap tie Adu?

Kamani Hill, Charlie Davies and Zizzo.

 

 

Freddy with a near-assist. Headed a ball back across the box to a wide open teammate who got nothing on his header.

Peter Nowak? I hope not.

 

this is american soccer's take on the Euro roster

Heath Pearce must have lit Bob Bradley's dog on fire and then pissed on it and lit it up again. He plays an hour from Sweden, yet they're going to drag Bornstein all the way from LA to get lit up on the left side.

 

I am not impressed with Hill or Davies. Zizzo I'm pretty meh on. Not sure why Convey's going to play when he's still not playing for Reading.

The best part was that Zizzo was just supposed to be a backup at the U-20s until Johann Smith got injured.

If that's the case, then the USSF is outdoing itself in screwing up. Peter Nowak's personal issues with Adu shouldn't affect roster decisions for the national team.

8/22 1:30 PM CT - USMNT vs. Sweden - FSC and Galavision

 

Sweet. I love my FSC investment already. :D

 

dude .. have you yet seen the show (i think it's "premier league fanzone") where "they" let the fans do the commentary? they replay a fixture from the weekend and instead of the normal play-by-players, they have 1 fan from each side call the action. and if that's not enough, other fans are encouraged to send in text messages which scroll at the bottom of the screen. i stumbled upon it last season and am glad i did so. absolutely hilarious, particularly when goals are scored or controversial calls are made.

 

Haven't seen that before but I'll definitely be on the lookout for it...sounds hilarious.

[MPC]

fanzone looks like it's going be on monday nights at 7:30 CT.

 

Its a replay of the game they show sunday, so this week it'll be chelsea-liverpool.

A Liverpool v Newcastle FanZone would be the best. An incomprehensible Geordie and an incomprehensible Scouser yelling at each other for 90 minutes.

I think American's would get into soccer a lot more if they listened to that as well. Commentary over here really sucks.

[wolf stansson]

In our fantasy league, what happens if a player transfers out of the league? I've got Heinze and he is rumored to be heading to Lyon.

I just played mine

[MPC]

stupid ronaldo scored me -2 points. on top of it, he's my captain. i scored a huge 3 points for gameweek 2.

 

at least man utd has already dropped 4 points on the season, hopefully sven's boys take care of them this weekend.

[reggiemiller rules]

Beckham has his first goal for the Galaxy tonight in the semifinals of the Superliga. He also had a nice pass that set up Donovans goal. Also he donned the captains armband tonight.

I wasn't too optimistic about my team for this week because I also have Ronaldo as my captain but my team scored 36 points this week which was only less than wolf. :D

Yeah, he's clearly the best player on the team.
