Vasquez is getting shuffled to the youth sides, since he knows how JK wants things set up ahead of Olympic qualifying, and Ramos was doing a piss-poor job. So basically Ramos got reassigned to carry cones and balls around, and Vogts probably represents a net upgrade in terms of scouting and preparation, since Vasquez is terrible.

So, the bomb pop away kit is real. I'm gonna stop thinking about how that happened before my head starts hurting.

Yeah, I was just coming here to post about it. Hideous. Ugh.

Awful. Why is it so hard for the USSF to design and use a reasonable kit?

[USSoccer]

That thing is hideous. Aside from it being the wrong shade of blue, it just looks stupid.

 

So we have the choice between golf shirts and bomb pop kits. Awesome.

[bukie]

I guess I don't hate it with red shorts and socks, but it also looks even more like a bomb pop.

Haha pretty hilarious april fool's day joke, Nike!

[shnsajax]

At least Deuce looks angry wearing that crap.

[USSoccer]

Huh. Not only is the blue wrong, the shade of red looks too bright, too.

[shnsajax]

Barca hit with a 14 month transfer ban. Wonder if they will try to keep some of the old guys now?

This is delightful. Ian Darke calls a date:

I like this one much more than the golf shirt.

I'm all jacked up. Work has been difficult to endure today.

Yeah, definitely looking forward to it. Tonight will be the first time under JK that Jozy, Dempsey, Donovan and Bradley have been on the field at the same time.

I can imagine. I showed up to the game in Seattle I went to about 4 hours early and time flew bye. Enjoy it all. Hopefully this doesn't feel like a complete away match.

And I'm also an idiot, since Jozy is still in England, and somehow I forgot this.

 

Also, this lineup sucks. This is a fricking friendly, and Brad Davis and Tony Beltran are starting over Donovan and Yedlin. Or Green. Stupid. Stupid stupid stupid.

[shnsajax]

Hoping for wholesale changes at halftime.

[Guest]

Perfect.

Ball movement hasn't been to bad.

 

Zusi deserves a statue at Azteca.

[shnsajax]

Mikey!!!

 

Loving the pace of the game so far.

[shnsajax]

Mexico has no answer for Mikey.

[wolf stansson]

Michael Bradley: Pretty good.

 

Mexico very preoccupied with Deuce, Beckerman doing what Jones doesn't-staying back to cover and Mike has devoured every inch between those guys. Master class.

[bukie]

How do you lose Marquez that badly?

 

EDIT: Ahh, Gonzalez got picked and Beckerman didn't notice.

[shnsajax]

So we got Landon, Deuce, Green, and Wondo all on the field at the same time?

Now EJ in for Wondo.
