Chill, Wondolowski. It's a sitter vs Belize. Act like you've been there.

@StarsStripesFC Find your nearest Mexican. Tell him what it's like to be winning and watch him stare at you in amazement.

I haven't seen Rimando play in MLS, but I have a hard time believing he's our 3rd choice keeper above Hamid and Johnson. He's looked incredibly shaky against these terrible teams and I don't think he has the athleticism or shot-stopping ability of either of those other two guys.

He's an INCREDIBLE shot stopper. By far our best pure shot stopper. He struggles on crosses because of his size, but his shot stopping is unbelievable considering he's like 5'9. He's so good in PK's that if it wasn't a crazy, firable choice, id say he should sub in for Howard if we were ever facing pk's.

Interesting, I guess I should've guessed he's a good shot stopper since his organization/distribution has been horrific for the USMNT and he's certainly not an athletic specimen.

Joe Corona tries too hard, Beckerman isn't Holden and Gooch would eat these men on set pieces.

 

Sub Shea for Torres, Holden for Beckerman and Jack Mac for Corona, move LD to Corona's spot.

Highlights flatter, but he's worth a YouTube session. Full disclosure, I have an inexplicable soft spot for Rimando.

[wolf stansson]

[expletive] you, Parkhurst.

[shnsajax]

That was actually a nice cross by Beckerman for the 2nd goal.

[Guest]

lol at Belize coach Nick Swordson muttering to himself

[shnsajax]

Giving up a goal against this team sucks.

 

Wondering is Klinsi is holding back on Holden cause of the field turf?

[wolf stansson]

Wondo's going full Torres on 'em. He's gonna grab that golden boot from one game.

[wolf stansson]

Ooh, good point. Probably.

[wolf stansson]

Which beloved current MNT player will eventually turn into a horrific color guy like Cobi Jones? I'm going Omar Gonzalez.

[shnsajax]

Landon would be pretty terrible if he tried. I would like to see Clint Mathis give it a shot just cause I miss him.

Heh, friend of mine is running that Twitter feed tonight.

[shnsajax]

Holden is going to get one tonight.

[wolf stansson]

Holden is going to get one tonight.

Pow!

RELEASE THE BREKKEN

[shnsajax]

Wish I could do that in Qualfiers.

 

Landon in 5 minutes is next.

[Guest]

These last two games have been fantastic.

[shnsajax]

Brek needs to be ready to shoot not just lay it back in the middle.

[wolf stansson]

Brek needs to be ready to shoot not just lay it back in the middle.

He needs a final touch, period. Shots or passes. Which is why I will be debuting a kick starter to buy him on behalf of AZ Alkmaar that launches tomorrow.

[Guest]

So is that ref expert just Alan Alda hanging out off camera or is my audio feed messed up?
