^ why have you not pawned eduardo off to like...the korean league yet XD

haha, I use dudu and walcott on the wings for speed when the first team needs a break:icon17:

Thats exactly why I was leaning more towards him haha

Reading comp > you. He played for the German side. Go look for yourself. You can play for a country just not compete in a tournement.

forgot to add that friendlies dont count either.

******* Inter.

Whoo Ronaldinho! :woot:

I love that commercial.

It looks like the US will lose tonight's match, but I'm encouraged (considering it's the B squad). Hercules Gomez looks pretty impressive.

& then the Czechs score again & I'm slightly less encouraged.

well Bob Bradley picked a pretty solid team surprisingly, thank f'ing god Ching was left off the team, although I gotta admit i'm pretty surprised DMB made the squad, he showed flashes of brilliance last night and he supposedly has been great in training so who knows. As far as forwards go, i'd say we have pretty much the best we can have at this point, Findlay is very quick, Gomez is on a nasty tear, Jozy holds the ball well and provides a big target in the box, so overall not bad, what are your thoughts?

:iagree:
I think Bob chose the best team possible. I hope Gooch loses that fear factor he obviously had last night.

Who ever is paired up top with Jozy, I feel should do well..although I would love to see a proven international goal scorer like Dempsey at forward.

Overall the team looks good.

So out of morbid curiosity, i watched Japan (pretty much my second home) play South Korea.

Oh my god, they're going to faceplant so bad in the WC it's not even funny. Shut down Shunsuke Nakamura, and the entire team goes "ok we're stuck lulz" and gives up. :facepalm:

Netherlands playing Mexico right now, RvP already has a goal :tup:

Though I have no idea how the guy performs in club ball, Im a little disappointed to see Robbie Rogers left off the squad. He has impressed me when he plays on the intl team, whereas DMB I am skeptical about.

Sorry if this is a repost, but it seems that we have finally picked our players for the US team.
