9points in the group stage

Maybe if the German A-team gets food poisoning. Which isn't insane at this rate.

Any of you New Yorkers going to the Men in Blazers USMNT event? MiB should have events in LA....

 

[Osorio]

Any of you New Yorkers going to the Men in Blazers USMNT event? MiB would have events in LA....

If there's free booze sure

I'm there right now. It's a lot of fun.

Edit: Alexi Laalas brought out the guitar :lol

 

[daegan]

On one hand, I'm super excited because I'm going to start a new job on the 15th!

On the other, I'm going to miss both the Ghana game and Germany game because of work (((((

Who from the 94 team did they get to come?

 

[B-Dubs]

Who from the 94 team did they get to come?

Him and the goal keeper, whose name escapes me. Kyle Beckerman was there too, I was sitting next to his family and girlfriend.

Tony Meola

 

[Heretic]

PHEW. Finally got my Brazilian visa today. Cutting it close, guys!

Good luck, bud!

I'm taking a day off work for the Germany game heh

 

[xbhaskarx]

The event today, will that be aired as part of the next March to Brazil episode?

Aww thought they'd bring out more from 94.

I would be surprised if they didn't show part of it.


Also...The official unofficial song for the USMNT.

[Delicious Waffles]

Grr. After reading this past episode of March to Brazil was an hour long, I specifically changed it on my DVR, which showed that it was an hour long. Went to watch it last night and it only recorded a half hour. Must've cut it into two half hour episodes in the scheduling, screwing up my recording. Oh well. Thankfully, someone posted a YouTube link here.

 

[ActStriker]

According to Paulo Bento, Ronaldo may miss the World Cup due to swelling of his patellar tendon.

(Let's be honest, no way he misses it.. but a man can dream)

pls pls pls pls pls

Open practice going on at Red Bull Arena right now.

Zusi, Davis, Bradley, Jones, Dempsey doing a drill together. Starting tomorrow? #usmnt

Timothy Chandler doing drills again at LB for the #usmnt here at RBA

Cameron again paired with Besler at CB. That's looks likely to be the pairing again tomorrow

Also, Former USMNT coach Jesse Marsch answers fan questions about our USMNT players for MLS Soccer. (Video feature)

 

[Nesotenso]

I would always take Bedoya over Davis in the starting XI. If he is on the left, Davis can deliver a better ball in but I don't think he has the pace or strength required to get the separation.

 

[Cornballer]

It's going on right now.

 

[Meier]

David Villa is in Manchester to undergo a medical ahead of his move to NYCFC.

 

[Meier]

Portugal and Ghana both play separate friendlies in about 2 hours if anyone is interested in watching our competition.

Ronaldo is skipping the game versus Greece.

 

[Cornballer]

- NY Times article from this morning: Fixed Matches Cast Shadow Over World Cup

In the first of a two-part series, a New York Times investigation of match fixing ahead of the last World Cup gives a detailed look at the ease with which professional gamblers can fix matches.

 

[Cornballer]

- Greg Seltzer confirming a couple of things from yesterday:

I can now confirm from both sides of the pond that Hannover 96 are in the race with former loan employers FC Utrecht for free agent Juan Agudelo, as reported in a Germany paper.

On a separate note, I will also reveal that Austrian champs Red Bull Salzburg are among the clubs that have been calling up about Terrence Boyd.

 

[Meier]

As has been rumored for the past few days, Frank Lampard was also spotted at Carrington and will undergo his medical. I assume both signings will be announced next week. Xavi or Gilardino are expected to be the third DP.

Not sure what he and Villa will do over the next 6-7 months. I assume they may be loaned out to other clubs in Europe but who knows.

Some World Cup ads with American soccer players...

[The Culture Vulture]

Sounders and RSL starting on MLS Live right now. Should be good.

 

[daoster]

Portugal and Ghana both play separate friendlies in about 2 hours if anyone is interested in watching our competition.

Ronaldo is skipping the game versus Greece.

Ghana lost 1-0 to the Netherlands, and Portugal drew 0-0...

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Doneil Henry cannot go a single game without some horrendous defensive play.

 

[distantmantra]

Sounders and RSL starting on MLS Live right now. Should be good.

I'm at the game. We're putting serious pressure on RSL. I don't think they've dealt with this all year. Go Sounders.

 

[SuperSonic1305]

Defoe is too good

 

[Zynx]

All that pressure and all those chances, eventually one goes in.

That's the type of play I want to see from Toronto, not that "give them possession all the time and then try to counterattack every so often".

lol, that ref. Gives a free kick...then immediately calls the game.

 

[Azuran]

Oh man, I can't believe we actually won after falling behind twice. I like this TFC team.

 

[Meier]

Neagle on my bench since he was still 'doubtful' after missing last week and would have scored me 8 points. To make matters worse, Hector Jimenez didn't even end up playing. SOB.

 

[Dr Campino]

TFC with a rare late win, I don't know how to handle these feelings

 

[Askani]

OMG...Collin again. Give me a break.

 

[Nesotenso]

Erik Palmer Brown replaces Collin around the ninth minute.

 

[ActStriker]

Ugh.

Gonna lose to Montreal? Gonna lose to Montreal.

 

[ATF487]

Montreal are dominating the revs. Im sick of losing games to Montreal in multiple sports! Also they use goal music (fucking Chelsea dagger) which is awful

 

[Dartastic]

Damn, RSL got STOMPED. Makes me feel good about our chances next week.

 

[FuturusX]

Defoe is too good

For MLS?

Just kidding. Glad he's doing well.

 

[Askani]

Vermes says, "No, son. I'm not having that."

 

[Askani]

"Well, I guess that's that..."

 

[daegan]

Ghana lost 1-0 to the Netherlands, and Portugal drew 0-0...

Any actual intel from these though? I know Ronaldo sat and I saw someone on twitter say Ghana sat most of their starters...

I'm taking a day off work for the Germany game heh

Oh, I had them all off at the old job, but that won't fly on like...my training week ._.

 

[zroid]

Ugh.

Gonna lose to Montreal? Gonna lose to Montreal.

Montreal are dominating the revs. Im sick of losing games to Montreal in multiple sports! Also they use goal music (fucking Chelsea dagger) which is awful

:lol :lol

 

[xbhaskarx]

What the hell was I thinking starting three players from Chivas USA this week....

 

[Wes]

If anyone else wanted to help out in some way with the World Cup thread who did not just get a PM from me, let me know.

[lastflowers]

I'm glad to see Davis given a shot to prove himself here. This ought to be a much better game than Azerbaijan.
