If you get Jozy the ball, he will score.

The Fire own Rogers' rights and this is a classy move by their supporters: http://1863.pitchinvasion.net/post/43170485321/open-letter-to-robbie-rogers-from-fire-supporters-group

http://robbierogers8.moonfruit.com/ Robbie Rogers is 1. Gay 2. A Christian 3. Retiring I sincerely hope #3 isn't related to the first two, because I think he had his best soccer ahead of him. If not in England, certainly back in MLS. He apparently took a job at Men's Health in London, which is a badass job for sure, it would just be a bummer if a player walked away from their prime because they didn't want to deal with being an out athlete. Understandable, but a bummer anyway.

Put Gareth Bale at center (centre) forward and he'll score more goals than Luis Suarez guaranteed. Suarez would be #2 on my list, granted, but they play different positions and Bale is still more productive. Suarez is by far the superior passer and more intelligent on the ball, but Bale's physicality and dead ball skills set him apart. I don't think there's a ton of talent disparity between Tottenham and Liverpool. I think you can put a majority of the credit for the 12 gap squarely on Bale's shoulders.
-
If you were building a team and had first pick in an EPL expansion draft, Bale has to be your pick right? Don't know if that says more about Bale or the lack of super-super stars in the EPL.

Holy [expletive], yes.

I'm torn. I love seeing Mexico held to a tie but they're probably going to qualify anyway. Jamaica's one we'll be competing with and that's one point that we're probably not going to get. The other game, though, I completely agree. Too bad we couldn't get a draw today. If this is the form Mexico is in, then dream big. Even an improved Jamaica is the easiest of their first 3 opponents, meaning there's a non-zero chance we can keep them at 1 point through 3 matches(2 at home). This might be unfair, and it's definitely purely anecdotal, but it's worth mentioning that in the past when El Tri goes through some trouble, it usually snowballs before it stops. They're lucky they don't have two qualifiers in a row this month. It may carry over to next month's games.

http://soccernet.espn.go.com/blog/_/name/soccerusa/id/1294?cc=5901 Some good quotes from Howard and Gonzalez. Revealing about JK's decision to pair Cameron and Gonzo, which I was for, not that it matters. It's just odd that they had trained together ONCE and never played together. This brings all of our complaints here, and US fans and pundits complaints in the past about JK's odd roster selections home to roost. In a vacuum, each individual friendly or early qualifier where we'd pipe up with a "why is Goodson on this roster?" or "Why is Gooch on this roster?" or "Why is Bocanegra playing in a meaningless friendly and where is Omar Gonzalez?" didn't seem so bad, but on the tail end of a winnable or at the least, drawable, key qualifier where Gonzo and Cam paired together for the first time, it's very, very damning and very, very disappointing.

Lol Mexico.

Tim Chandler's all like, "first I made you want me, now you're stuck with me and now I'll make you HATE me."

Leander Schaarlaekens is going on about the US players and their poor body language. Confirmed? Heat or crowd?

Who can I blame for this BS?

Now it's time for some Wilson Phillips all up in this piece. JUST HOLD ON.

WHAT DID HE DO DID HE SCORE DEUCE DEUCE DEUCE DEUCE DEUCE DEUCE DEUCE BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG TIME PLAYER

This is a little stressful. I might have to stop following live.
-
Grant Wahl disagrees with my assessment and is probably correct. I plan on posting lots of nonsensical reactions to something I'm not watching today, so I'll lose the sig pic.

From Jurgen's scribblings: Would suggest Bradley as fulcrum, Jones pivoting up and providing cover for Chandler, Deuce roaming and cutting up the right channel and Jozy playing back to goal to lay off balls to him.
-
If that a hole would play, this would have been the strongest lineup under JK for his entire tenure. Fyi, Bein is replaying this tonight for those that may have not DVR'd it.
-
Here's the real deal: Howard ©; Chandler, Gonzalez, Cameron, F. Johnson; Williams, Jones, Bradley, E. Johnson; Dempsey, Altidore ---------TH TC---GC---OG---FJ ---DW---------JJ ---------MB EJ------JA------CD I [expletive] love that lineup compared to what I was hearing. Jurgen = master troll status.
-
Omar for Boca, EJ for Zusi a couple of the surprises. So there's some speed on the wing.
-
Honduras' centerbacks are beasts. Not sure if fighting fire with fire (Jozy) or going with guile (Herc) is better, but I do know that as a late-game sub, Jozy will be able to push some dudes around more than he would as a starter. I'd go with Jozy in every US game just because I believe in form more than over thinking match-ups, but I think that's JK's reasoning.
-
Agreed. I'm guessing we get 4 pts.

If anyone finds a stream for today's game, please share. I'll be looking myself.
