  1. Jozy would've turned that dude like a rag doll but EJ gets pushed off. Comments, Phil Schoen? Didn't think so.
  2. Blackstock making our defenders look like they're wearing cement shoes. Nice missed sitter, EJ.
  3. Dudes talking like this is a different EJ. How exactly? EJ did nothing but score in MLS and against CONCACAF minnows for years. That's all he's doing now. And as I type, they score.
  4. Shut up, Phil Schoen. Leave Jozy out of this.
  5. Mike Bradley is our best player. Eddie Johnson is not. Despite that goal. Zusi's passing range is really, really strong.
  6. Real 2005 vibe to this broadcast. Standard def, two cameras and Marcelo Balboa on the mic. Awful.
  7. Love A-B's fat keeper.
  8. It's like the 2004 Cubs, right down to the incompetent manager. According to twitter, EJ is starting wide left in a 4-3-3. Our manager knows jack [expletive] about our player pool. EJ is [expletive] but even worse when asked to do anything but play center forward. He's desperate for speed apparently.
  9. http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2012/10/10/hyndman-injured-shea-called-miami-see-specialist This explains a lot. Shea has been secretly nursing an injured left leg since April.
  10. Castillo out for both. Fabian in for game 2. No replacements as of yet.
  11. I understand that he wants to send a message, but World Cup Qualifying is not the god damn time to do it. Anyway, I'm guessing Eric Lichaj and Chris Pontius get a call with next week in mind.
  12. Donovan and Shea ruled inactive for the next two friendlies. PERHAPS MAYBE YOU'D HAVE THOUGHT JURGEN MIGHT POSSIBLY HAVE NOTICED THAT THEIR TEAMS DIDN'T PLAY THEM LAST WEEKEND BECAUSE THEY HAD REAL INJURIES MAYBE POSSIBLY? No immediate replacements announced = Jurgen won't put his tail between his legs and call up the obvious replacements because he has terrible relationships with Altidore, Wondo, Feilhaber etc. Someone find Deuce and wrap him in foam, please. Zero width now. Zero. I predict: -----------------------Howard Dempsey--Williams-Zusi-Bradley-Jones-Edu-Beckerman-JFT-Cameron-Kljestan His dream of playing 10 center mids is going to come true!
  13. So he starts in the San Siro and sits in a league match and that means the coach doesn't think he's reliable?
  14. USS, that's kind of why I don't get your anti-Kljestan stance. At least guy can put together a forward pass. Jones, Williams, Edu, Beckerman...none can really string together a forward pass or combine with the wings to get forward. Spacing has also been a huge issue under JK. Bob Bradley was pragmatic and played to our strengths, Donovan and Dempsey cutting in from the wings (ironically enough the player that suffered the most was his son who was forced to play deeper), but from a combination of tactical ineptitude and not having a first choice squad consistently (Bradley was very fortunate with player health over his tenure) has led to JK's administration being over a year in and still seeming like he has no idea what his best 11 is. If we aren't able to play a high defensive line and our wing backs are pinned in their defensive third, we have zero width and playing through the middle is impossible without Bradley and a pairing with another center mid who can ping a pass like Holden or Kljestan.
  15. Deuce has a cool bass boat. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Y0U1p6yUxR8
  16. It's a FIFA fixture date, clubs have to release any players called up. Not optional. AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WHAT THE [expletive] Alan Gordon is like a third as good as his own damn teammate, let alone Jozy Altidore. Is there a Quakes game that Wondo can't miss to try to take down the goal record or something?
  17. "Club form matters." -Klinsy last camp "Except when you don't worship the ground I walk on." -Klinsy today
  18. Was just coming to post that. Good lord, if Eddie Johnson is called up and Jozy isn't...this really sucks because I want JK out and he's going to be here for at least 6 years.
  19. Despite playing today and scoring his 13th goal in 13 games for Aarhus, Aron Johansson has pulled out of iceland's world cup qualifier squad due to "lingering groin issues." Think we're trying to poach him. He was born in Alabama.
  20. Bradley back for Roma, scores a goal. Dempsey still not quite himself. Don't know if it's pressure or lack of sharpness, but he's missing chances.
  21. Good Altidore article: http://msn.foxsports.com/foxsoccer/usa/story/united-states-striker-jozy-altidore-remains-cautionary-tale-for-usa-soccer-despite-turn-of-fortunes-100412
  22. Favorite part of that site bukie linked to is their Best XI generator, so instead of using a bunch of hyphens, I can do this: http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm16/dhohulin/bestxi.jpg
  23. Yeah...that site is must-bookmark for USS fans.
  24. Got some issues with that list, but only fun, nitpicky ones. Rest of the site looks interesting. liked Leander Schaerlaeckens best 11 post.
  25. Dempsey in the starting lineup.
