As long as Yedlin plays I won't care too much.

Yeah, and Advocaat ain't Poyet or DiCanio, so there's that.

Newbie fan question, how long will he remain with Sunderland?

Season-long loan according to Sunderland's website.

Really good point.

Jurgen Klinsmann has outdone himself on this one:

“It’s a good thing you have so much comments and opinions because it shows you that a lot more people care,” he said. “They care about the game, they care about the national team. They care about saying their opinion. Do they understand really what happened in the Gold Cup? Some of them absolutely do and a lot of people don’t. I take it, it’s not a big deal. But it also explains we have a long way to go to educate people on the game of soccer still in this country.”

 

I don't even know where to start with this. As fans, we think losing is bad and he didn't do a good job and that means we don't understand what happened? What a truly exquisite ego this dude has.

Thinking hard about going to Seattle/Toronto by myself on Saturday. Some international absences and no Giovinco but should still get to see all 4 USMNT players and Martins too. Any reason I shouldn't?

Nope, no reason at all.

[wolf stansson]

Jurgen makes me hate following this team. The games blow, the coverage is either too soft or too hard and mostly, his job security makes it all seem pointless.

 

His teams are just so lethargic.

[wolf stansson]

Jurgen all week: "We need to improve our possession."

Jurgen game time: plays a midfield of Zardes (a forward), Yedlin (defender), Bedoya (winger) and Jones.

 

Moron.

Thank you for your encouragement, that was fun even though I was wrong about Altidore being there. Deuce and Martins are just too much for MLS defenses, and Toronto looked like a team who didn't know what to do without Giovinco and Altidore to do the hard part of creating chances.

[KaiserCesar]

I caught some of that game. The three in the back was an interesting look for Toronto, but Osorio/Bradley both pushed forward at the same time a few times, left the back exposed and still and couldn't link up with the forwards.

 

With the quality of subs Seattle has, they are very well equipped to close out games at home.

The Oranje go down 3-0 in Turkey; Dutch TV commentators about to have a depression.

Great moment this evening: Miggy grand slam and Hazard winning goal within a minute :D

This is exactly how I feel. I almost have to watch on mute because I cannot handle any of the commentary when it comes to JK.

[KaiserCesar]

During halftime on the FS1 matches, you can see that Wynalda and Lalas are getting to the point of exasperation that most fans are at. It's pretty tiring that the commentary has to focus on player who is out of position that week or some player who got snubbed by Klinsmann.

[bukie]

Jamaica will be eliminated from WC18 qualifying tonight unless they win by at least two goals in Nicaragua.

[CubInOK]

Orozco and Alvarado will get torched tonight.

[USSoccer]

Good god I cannot stand JK. The sound of his voice makes me irrationally angry.

[USSoccer]

Hey, let's start 4 center backs on the back line and somehow only have one decent defender in that unit. Let's also play our best RB in the midfield because reasons

[USSoccer]

1-0 Brazil. There's that awesome backline

What? It's not like they have speedy attackers.

 

 

 

Screw sports, I'm watching Frasier.

[USSoccer]

Screw it. I hope Brazil hang 6 on us. Anything that ratchets up the pressure on German Lyle Lanley

[USSoccer]

Jesus Alvarado is so terrible. If Gonzo and Besler aren't the starting center backs next month against Brazil that's a fireable offense
