I missed it but apparently Aaron Ramsey suffered a pretty brutal leg injury - no replays were shown and the gamecast on soccernet said it was a leg break similar to Eduardo's.

The title race just got a hell of a lot more interesting. Chelsea is one point up on Man U and three up on Arsenal with 10 games to play.

I just saw a picture of it on soccernet homepage. It is very bad, snapped below the knee. I think Wenger is the only one left to get hurt for Arsenal.

Injury picture spoilered for size.

Edu scores in the 92 minute vs Celtic for a 1-0 win.

Donovan missed an open net too. Would have salvaged a point v Tottenham.

Anyone know what kind of a lineup the Netherlands is expected to throw out there tomorrow?

According to Oranjebytes.nl, they'll likely go with: Stekelenburg; Van der Wiel, Heitinga, Mathijsen, Van Bronckhorst; Van Bommel, De Jong; Sneijder; Kuijt, Huntelaar and Robben

Hope Howard is ready to play today. This should be a good test for M. Bradley as well. If we can come out with a 1-0 or 2-1 loss I think I would be happy.

The new kits are available as of today...got to decide between Mikey and Clint.

 

Also, I'm going on record by saying that I really hope Zombie Beasley plays terribly tonight.

U.S. Men’s National Team players will also be wearing the most environmentally-friendly and technologically-advanced kit ever produced. In an important step to make all Nike products more sustainable, the U.S. uniform – along with all of Nike’s national team kits – was made entirely from recycled polyester, with each jersey produced with yarn made from up to eight recycled plastic bottles.

 

WTF

[USSoccer]

I can't remember if the kits run large or not.

 

And there are still no scarves on the web wtf

[Jon]

I think I'm going to order one. It looks much sharper than the original images. Navy blue with the red border on the white stripe.

Starting:

 

1-Tim Howard; 2-Jonathan Spector, 15-Jay DeMerit, 3-Carlos Bocanegra (capt.), 13-Jonathan Bornstein; 22-Stuart Holden, 14-José Torres, 4-Michael Bradley, 10-Landon Donovan; 12-Jozy Altidore, 19-Robbie Findley

 

Happy to see Torres in there.

 

Who is this?

Alejandro Bedoya (Orebro), I didn't watch the last two crap friendlies and don't remember him on the U23's though Wiki says he was on it.

[Jon]

Nothing gets me pumped for a friendly against the Netherlands like blackface.

[Jon]

Great strike from Torres. Just a couple of feet off.

 

Hopefully Holden is okay.

[brinoch]

That was a red in the Confederations Cup this summer.

[brinoch]

Great strike from Torres. Just a couple of feet off.

 

Hopefully Holden is okay.

 

And, yeah, that was a nice drive by Torres. Quality.

[Jon]

Well that was incredibly stupid.

[brinoch]

That's a weak PK call. Total dive. Bornstein grabbed him, but barely.

[brinoch]

Total handball there by Bornstein. Youch. Got lucky.
