Gold Cup Roster Update

By: Marlon | July 3rd, 2009 | 9 Comments »

Tomorrow’s game against Grenada is at 9PM EST on FSC. Here is the original roster announced for the cup:

GOALKEEPERS- Jon Busch (Chicago Fire), Troy Perkins (Valarenga), Luis Robles (FC Kaiserslautern)

DEFENDERS- Steve Cherundolo (Hannover 96), Jimmy Conrad (Kansas City Wizards), Clarence Goodson (IK Start), Jay Heaps (New England Revolution), Chad Marshall (Columbus Crew), Michael Parkhurst (FC Nordsjaellands), Heath Pearce (Hansa Rostock)

MIDFIELDERS- Davy Arnaud (Kansas City Wizards), Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake), Colin Clark (Colorado Rapids), Sam Cronin (Toronto FC), Brad Evans (Seattle Sounders), Stuart Holden (Houston Dynamo), Logan Pause (Chicago Fire), Robbie Rogers (Columbus Crew)

FORWARDS- Freddy Adu (AS Monaco), Brian Ching (Houston Dynamo), Kenny Cooper (FC Dallas), Charlie Davies (Hammarby IF), Santino Quaranta (D.C. United)

And here are the seven additions made by Bob Bradley earlier this week:

- Jozy Altidore

- Jonathan Bornstein

- Conor Casey

- Ricardo Clark

- Benny Feilhaber

- Brad Guzan

- Sacha Kljestan

I’m a little disappointed to see a slumping Sacha Klejstan get the call ahead of en fuego duel-citizenship holding Mikkel Diskerud, but such is the way of the Bob.

Post Confederations Cup Thoughts

By: Marlon | July 2nd, 2009 | 16 Comments »


It was a tournament that displayed the highest highs and the lowest lows of American soccer. A tournament where we saw everything we dreamed about and everything we feared. The first two games were displays to be forgotten. After a tough 3 - 1 loss to Italy and another stupid red card ... [read]


Almost.

By: Brooks Peck | June 28th, 2009 | 42 Comments »


That hurt. In a way it would have almost been better to lose the way the first meeting between these two teams went. But to so dominate the first half, hold a 2-0 lead, then watch it all slip away was tough to take. Bob Bradley’s management of the second half was ... [read]

It’s a rematch.

By: Brooks Peck | June 25th, 2009 | 19 Comments »


Well, the Confederations Cup final will be a rematch of USA vs. Brazil, which, uh, didn’t go so great the first time around. But this time, the US is rocketing off a convincing win OVER THE BEST TEAM IN THE WORLD and Brazil is sneaking away from a 1-0 win over South ... [read]


USA vs. Spain: Respect The Adumerica!

By: Brooks Peck | June 24th, 2009 | 64 Comments »


Here’s the US starting XI:
Howard
Spector, Onyewu, DeMerit, Bocanegra
Donovan, Clark, Bradley, Dempsey
Davies, Altidore
(4-4-2)
Wow. Not only did Bob remember that the 4-4-2 worked, but he leaves Charlie Davies in, and gets the now fit (I guess?) Boca in at left back. Wow.
Of course, he had to leave Ricardo Clark in there just to ... [read]


Confederations Cup Semifinal: Yes, the US is actually in it. Against Spain.

By: Brooks Peck | June 23rd, 2009 | 11 Comments »


Alright. The reality of the situation has finally set in and now it’s time to get down to brass tacks.
We all know how good Spain is and how they haven’t lost in their last, like, 112 games, but you know what? They’re not taking this game lightly. Kind of. Says Xavi:
“It ... [read]


HOLY CRAP WE ADVANCED

By: Brooks Peck | June 21st, 2009 | 57 Comments »


I have no idea what the hell just happened in those two matches, but I do know this:
1) We need to play the 4-4-2 all the time.
2) Charlie Davies needs to start more often.
3) Bob Bradley still needs to be fired. I hope that doesn’t get lost in this madness. But it ... [read]


Confederations Cup, USA vs. Egypt: Is it over yet?

By: Brooks Peck | June 21st, 2009 | 40 Comments »


Here’s the starting lineup for what will almost certainly be the US MNT’s final Confederations Cup match (and hopefully Bob Bradley’s final match period.) via the USSF Twitter:
Guzan; Spector, Onyewu, DeMerit, Bornstein; Donovan, Clark, Bradley, Dempsey; Davies, Altidore … a 4-4-2.
So Charlie Davies and Brad Guzan get rare starts, which could be ... [read]


Friday night news nuggets: Listen up, Sunil edition

By: Brooks Peck | June 19th, 2009 | 9 Comments »


I said before that I was going to offer more thoughts on the Brazil match, but after reading all of your fantastic comments I realized we all know what the problems are and there’s no use in rehashing events that were so terrible and redundant and terribly redundant. So — let’s move ... [read]
