Also, be sure to check out the special half hour pregame show on ESPN2 just before kickoff. See you then.

    I think you need to liveblog the pregame show, too. Just for fun.

  • Brooks Peck

    I think we can do that.

  • Ryan

    3 points, lets take them all.

  • Nicholas

    Jonathan Spector is not dressing. No word of injury. Ummm….yeah.

  • Brooks Peck

    Too slow, Nicholas, check above.

  • Nicholas

    Thanks Brooks. Being reported as a 4-3-3 formation. Potentially the most attack oriented formation/lineup in the Bradley era (or maybe ever for the US?)

  • Nicholas

    And what a place to do it….

  • Dan

    Beasley has no business playing defense, he looked lost the entire game, and Wynn was also horrible. We need to see some BIG changes on defense if we will be competitive.

  • Victor

    Agreed, Beasley can’t contribute on offense, cause he can’t cross, and still keep his mark on defense. Often Donovan was covering for him and the entire middle markings. If Michael Bradley isn’t the epitome of why American soccer is so weak, I don’t know what is. The coach’s son supplanting a self made leader, who walked around the field and was beaten badly on the last goal and picks up a card from a lazy tackle. Wynne is terrible, no touch, no understanding. Altidore had no help what so ever from the worst midfield the US has put on a field in 50 years. Dempsey….was he playing??? The backfield was unorganized and kept clearing the ball to no one…..reminded me of my U-13 days. Donovan and the US team needs to make chances of the set pieces, those were garbage. Overall, poor defense, poor build up from lazy midfieders, and can’t assess the offense cause I didn’t see it.

  • Unbelievable

    We need Adu and Spector in there. Enough is Enough. Torres and Adu are the only two legitimate technically skilled players on the roster.

    It is going to be a laugh in 2010.
