Two shots blocked after that corner, both were going in.

This sod could really help Canada.

[USSoccer]

Yeah, that 4-3-3 died right quick. At best that's 4-4-1-1.

 

Canada are just going to pack it in and look for the break.

[wolf stansson]

This is the worst set piece defense I've ever seen. Gooch should've started.

It's only a matter of time before we score. Canada sucks.

That was pathetic goalkeeping.

[wolf stansson]

Shocker by the keeper, but well taken by Jozy. 1-0.

Why isn't this game in HD?

 

And nice goalkeeping. Glad to see Jozy do something.

Telefutura FTW.

 

That's why you shoot, though. At least he held his guy and shot.

 

This game will get ugly, fast.

[wolf stansson]

Good diagonal run before receiving the pass too.

 

I have FSC in HD #directvftw

[USSoccer]

I really wish we'd press higher against teams like this.

Agudelo's killing it

[wolf stansson]

Team in white totally dominating team in red. It's a weird facsimile of Saturday.

DEEEEUUCE just after he missed the scorpion attempt

 

That's what happens when you play fast!

Great finish too.

I hope there was a particular reason we played this game in neutral.

 

Mikey, Jozy, Jones, Clint and Howard all played well. If that stupid Canuck had not blocked it, Clint's scorpion would have been the GOTY.

 

We were too slow, though. Wondo and Sacha killed our attack, and Donovan still looked sick.

Livestrong Sporting Park opens tonight. Looks like a great stadium.

[wolf stansson]

Nice.

Altidore is beefing with a reporter.

 

First this article from Noah Davis: http://www.mlssoccer.com/goldcup/news/article/2011/06/08/commentary-dont-read-too-much-altidores-game

"All you need to look at for that is the World Cup," Bradley said. "He wasn’t able to score, but his overall contribution to the team every game was big. He’s a guy that does a lot for us and we count on him."

 

But just because he did score a goal doesn't mean he played well. The forward still didn't show much understanding of the tactical game plan against Canada. He spent much of the night arriving a step late, if he arrived at all. Sure, he drew a few fouls in dangerous areas and used his body well on the goal, but he needs to work harder, much harder if he's going to make a serious impact.

 

Then this:

Sounds food related. CONCACAF will hopefully give them a dispensation to replace the banned players, or else this weakens the tournament and will cheapen our eventual win

Ricardo La Volpe's shirt cannot be called awesome enough...he looks like he's seven drinks in at a cantina.

[shnsajax]

The New York Cosmos will play ManU in the Paul Scholes testimonial. Guess Cantona is the one who got this match to happen. Nice job.

[USSoccer]

They don't have any players...who's going to play?
