EJ up top only because he's the only option we have traveling with the team right now. He definitely is not the long term solution. Frankie H. is a tough scappy defender, but I've never seen such bad service from a right back. Why are we playing these older guys who will not factor into the future of the team? Mastroeni? Bob B. is killing me. By the way, while Landy is nursing his groin is there anyone that can put a corner into the box? No Wolff.

We need a coach who actually understands how the game is played at the highest levels. Sadly, there is no American who fits that bill so we'll need to import a foreign coach. Until that time, our specific lineups just aren't that significant compared to our lack of technical and tactical nous. The only meaningful change the US can make in its lineup is at the top.

I thought Gooch's lack of speed was exposed in the loss to England, and Spain brings a speedier squad to the pitch. I think we can all agree that Josh Wolff has no place in this match, but then I wouldn't be surprised to see him in the starting line up...again. Put Adu in there!
