Grant Wahl notes:

Donovan not starting is a head scratcher since he, Dempsey, and Bradley haven't played together a lot recently.

I can only assume Donovan isn't starting because this is Wondo and Davis's last chance to shine. I can't imagine that it's anything else. He'll probably be coming on after the half, no way does Klinsmann have him as a sub in the World Cup. He's one of our most consistent players.

Replace Wondo and Davis with Altidore and Donovan and this is probably what the midfield and forwards will look like for the WC.

I don't know why he would get Wondolowski's hopes up like that. That lineup, midfiled forward, is set whether klinnsmann wants to admit it or not.

A few thoughts from the press:

The lack of foot speed with this #usmnt lineup strikes me as being a major concern tonight against Mexico

Confused by Beltran. If he was #3 on depth chart, he should've been in camp from beginning.

US lining up in 4-4-2, but it's effectiveness depends on Dempsey. If he drops deep, Wondo will be stranded, like Jozy in the past. #usmnt

IN this year: Brooks, Corona, Holden, Kljestan, Onyewu, Torres. OUT: Agudelo, Chandler, Edu, Feilhaber, Gomez, Parkhurst, Shea.

It could be he's just giving him one last moment in the sun.

Which once again shows the Klinsmann staff's lack of tactical understanding given that Mexico's biggest defensive weakness is speed, and yet LD, Yedlin, Green, Edu, and EJ are all on the bench.

 

[Toothpick]

No Donovan, Green or Yedlin? Come on man

 

[methodman]

No Donovan?!

 

[Askani]

It's a friendly. He'll sub half the team in the second half.

 

[daoster]

So...

We like to sing our anthem's fast

 

[methodman]

watching on espn3.com, stream is awful. espnews smh

 

[Cornballer]

[NobleGreenBeast]

Made it home just in time to watch the game. I do not have any hot cheetos this time but I do have some pizza. Lets go USA.

 

[Subitai]

Haha, that Texas flag.



This should deliver.

 

[Toothpick]

Let's go US!

 

[xbhaskarx]

Klinsmann says Donovan looks flat in training and not 100%... this guy is still fucking clueless.

 

[Cornballer]

Really high camera angle.

 

[NoRéN]

No Donovan, Green or Yedlin? Come on man

No Donovan?!

Seriously.

It's a friendly. He'll sub half the team in the second half.

How are we feeling about the uniforms after seeing them on the players tonight in-game?

I wish the blue and white wrapped around. Otherwise it looks better.

Too much red for me

The transition from the front to the back looks weird.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Beltran looks out of his depth

 

[NoRéN]

Pretty much.

If someone told me that designing the USMNT kit was the prize to the top chocolate bar seller across all elementary schools, I would believe them.

Yup

 

[Cornballer]

I was going to give Davis a hard time if he screwed up that free kick, but that was pretty nice.

 

[TheChits]

Woohoo!

[Cornballer]

Nice corner kick from San Zusi, too.

Nice defending by Mexico in the corner.

Nice jog. He needed to run.

 

[xbhaskarx]

Do Mexico just not practice set piece defending at all...

 

[methodman]

Bradley = best player on the field

 

[ActStriker]

I'm really close to ordering both the home and away kits... if they win I might just pull the trigger on it.

Damn you tax return

 

[ATF487]

Bradley is really good, guys

What's more American that spending your hard earned tax return on the American kit?

That cut to the sideline... Green looks HUNGRY AS FUCK.
