Aron got an extension till 2018 with AZ. Not that they won't still sell him, but 1 more year in Holland isn't a bad thing.

Coached by Marco Van Basten, no less.

 

Forgot all about that. Now fully on board with staying in Holland.

Seconded.

Mexico's Montes just broke his leg in multiple spots like 2 minutes after scoring a golazo. Unimas showed some horrific replays. The guy he collided with, Segundo Castillo, broke his leg in the same collision.

 

Also, Ricardo Montelivo broke his leg today, too.

Looks like Rafa Marquez broke his foot too.

Ghana might have lost their starting CB depending on the severity of his ankle sprain. Carted off.

Maybe he's perfecting those time wasting skills we all know and love from Ghana.

It's awesome seeing Jack Warner linked with buying the WC away from his own region. I do wonder how Qatar will be used in electing a new fifa president.

Howard

Fab Cameron Besler Chandler

Zusi Jones Bradley Davis

Altidore Dempsey

 

 

Don't get having a left footer at RB & a right footer at LB., BUT WHATEVER.

So polo shirts over Russian hockey uniforms today.

[wolf stansson]

We look sharp on the counter in this formation so far. That's going to be crucial.

Zusi & Fab are ballin.

[wolf stansson]

Man. Only 8 minutes in but this looks like the Mexico first half.

[wolf stansson]

Fab & Mikey ran that pick and roll like Stockton and Malone.

[Guest]

Great chip over the top by Bradley and nice finish.

[shnsajax]

That was damn pretty. Several nice balls over the top.

[USSoccer]

This ref is beyond terrible. Beyond terrible. That sequence with Jozy getting kicked down, Clint getting fouled in the 18, and then Altidore getting kicked again and not a foul called.

It's in the USMNT's best interest that TUrkey doesn't get a red, though, since it makes the friendly rather pointless from a preparation point of view.

It's official, Giuseppi Rossi will never play in a World Cup. Left off the Italy roster.

Yeah, true, but it's not in their best interest for the ref to allow the Turkish defenders to kick our guys out of the game.

[wolf stansson]

SURE WOULD BE NICE TO GET TO WATCH JULIAN GREEN PLAY SOCCER.

[wolf stansson]

The fact that a 20 year old German kid bites Deuce's ink style is a sign of his innate leadership qualities. Never thought I'd see an Illinois tat on a dude's elbow.

[wolf stansson]

I think Turkey is over this game.

[USSoccer]

Ho hum, Deuce nice tap in.

 

Davis and Zusi have been bad. Brooks isn't ready for this cycle.

[wolf stansson]

Lol, Turkey don't want this speed.

[wolf stansson]

Brooks obvs shouldn't see many minutes in Brazil but he looks much more comfortable. Easy to see his potential.

 

Jozy is hopeless finishing right now. His work rate is valuable and effective, but man...

[USSoccer]

Green and Davis are out of their depth, for very different reasons.

 

I feel bad for Julian; he shouldn't be in the position he's in.

[wvcbxl]

Grats on the win against Turkey.

 

My guys also had a good night in Sweden. :D
