USMNT Roster for Panama, T&T

Anyone want to see USA try to qualify out of Europe?

Oh Bruce... I think the likes of the Netherlands, Wales, Scotland, Ukraine, and whichever 4 lose the UEFA play-off game would happily trade qualifying routes with the US.

I'll take the CONCACAF qualifying route over UEFA, CONMEBOL all day, every day. The US doesn't qualify for... what is it 6 or 7.. consecutive world cups if they are coming out of either of those confederations. Shoot, qualification for this world cup is not even close to a sure thing. I don't love the way things are lining up for the US tonight. Sloppy pitch, CONCACAF officiating, and Panama and Honduras both hosting teams that have nothing to play for. It's going to be a very interesting and intense night.

Julian Green seems like a shrinking violet to me. He plays down to whereever he is. It doesn’t matter where you put him.

Didn’t Jack Harrison ride the pine in that U-21 game? that’s hardly any sort of validation.

The point is that certain players belong in the Bundesliga and certain players that are not as talented or are mentally weak like Donovan don’t.

Demeaning the MLS? Check.
Demeaning Landon Donovan? Check.
Minimizing the achievement of making the 23 man squad for England U-21? Check.

Your post had it all in there. Nice work...

 

[UConnDan97]

Ummm...Bruce...all the European teams would hand us our ar$e, dude.

What a dumb comment. Even Poland would be salivating at the chance to go through concacaf, and I'm not exaggerating. Lewandoski would have 20 goals in 10 games...

 

[SAMCRO]

you have got to be kidding me. US playing passive, sitting back. F'ng Gonzo with an own goal. And off the reset almost give up another one.... and Gonzo lucky to not get a red card and give up a PK moments later. They need to get it together quick.

On the upside, Mexico up 1-0 on Honduras

Lol Omar Gonzalez with one of the worst Own Goals ever, should've given away a penalty too. He's bad.

U-21? Is that even a thing by the way? You’re supposed to be an established pro by the time you turn 21. But congrats to the MLS English U-21 bench option and his big win over European big fish Andorra.

Check.

Check.

Check.

And Check.

They are just standing around on offense and defense. Zero energy. It’s pathetic.

 

[ZooCougar]

Nice to see Bruce had the team ready to go tonight.

 

[CardiacAndre7]

This team is awful. Arena can F off, so can 90% of the team. Absolutely pathetic.

 

[LIuconn]

when's the last time bradley played a forward pass on the ground? 2012?

 

[SAMCRO]

Come on Costa Rica and Mexico. What a pathetic display by all involved.

 

[SAMCRO]

The poor pitch doesn't seem to be bothering T&T one bit.

 

[401husk]

Pathetic display so far. The fact altidore now has 110 caps signals how poor things are. Guy is useless.

 

[progrocks]

Arena messed it up today before the game even started. How do you not start Cameron? Gonzo was lucky last game, not good. Why not play your highest level central defenseman? Because he had 1 bad game?

Absolutely horrible 45 minutes

Welcome aboard.

[CardiacAndre7]

Welcome aboard.

I've been saying it to my friends for a while now, worst US team I have seen in I don't know how long. Not one player has done anything well tonight.

Quick change this pathetic group with the u-17s at half, bet the effort would be better

 

[SAMCRO]

Gonzo needs to stay in the locker room, bring in Cameron.
Altidore can stay in the locker room, bring in Dempsey.
Save the final substitute for later in the half in case of an injury.
Arena can stay in the locker room too... in fact, when is the next flight off the island.

Arena has cost the US the first half and quite possibly a spot in the WC, depending on what happens with everyone else the rest of the way.

Why change your tactics four days after winning 4-0? Really, why? Because you want to see how bad Jozy can be as a left winger in a 4-3-3? You want Bradley to feel uncomfortable in a role that he doesn't often occupy or excel at?

God damn it, Bruce. God damn it. He had better make a formation change to start the second half or we're dead...

 

[LIuconn]

need dempsey to pull on a fulham shirt to get us out of this bind. some build up and service would help, too

 

[ZooCougar]

Is it Altidore pretending to be a bad d mid with no touch tonight? So much for that awesome hold up play of his.
