Really starting to get into soccer for the past year or so since my son now plays in highschool.
I have two probably very noob offside questions but figured this is the best place to ask.
1.) can you be offside on a throw in?
2.) say me and a teammate have completely blown by the defense. and it's just me and him running at the goalie. could i pass my teammate the ball even if he's 10 yards ahead of me, remembering that all defenders other then the goalie are behind us?

You cannot be offsides on a throw in.
Your friend will be offsides if he is in front of you. While you have the ball, your teammate is in an onsides position if he is behind you.
Google-Fu actually resulted in a pretty good PDF with explanations and pictures: http://www.fifa.com/mm/document/afdeveloping/refereeing/law_11_offside_en_47383.pdf

Timothy Chandler has re-signed with his old club, Eintracht Frankfurt.
Also, Greg Seltzer notes that Boyd is getting offers from some bigger leagues now:

If the Red Bulls become the Mets of MLS, they'll be my favorite team in the east.
Yeah, I can imagine it must be. One of the things that has been pretty damn smart from them is that they're using the stadium kerfuffle to their advantage. Touting Yankee Stadium as a selling point is pretty darn smart, especially since they'll probably pull in a decent number of folks who aren't accustomed to going to games anyway so the configuration shouldn't be quite as big of a detriment to them.
About 7 weeks or so until I get to see a game there. YES!

Liviu Bird posting about this on Twitter, too. Such bad positioning:
At least they have one game and a little under two weeks to fix it.
Nobody in their right mind would do that.
Red Bulls just need to advertise how fucking awesome their stadium is.

where was the ball hit from? Chandler should have been level with the other defenders there, but it seems he's probably in the right general position. Davis creeped over too much and should have been in the middle of inan, 9, and gonul.
I'm assuming the ball was hit from 15 or Erkin. if Inan had the ball, then yeah, that looks horrible. I'd need to see the leadup in order to really see what happened though
After that game, there's no way Chandler ever starts. I hope. He's not even looking at the play, he's looking at Howard and/or Beasler to figure out what to do.
And what happened to Davis on that play? How does get that far left when you are playing 4 in mid. When all 4 of your midfield 4 are on the same side of the field, you're gonna have a bad time. That's like something you should have learned in middle school level of soccer.

Why not? Could advertise at Citi Field. Get more exposure. That's all I really meant.

Quick reminder that there's a new episode of Inside: US Soccer's March to Brazil tonight at 7:30pm ET.
Yes, it'd require some context to figure out exactly what happened there, though the US was getting stretched regularly. The defensive setup didn't work very well until the halftime adjustments.
I think most of the odds makers that give the US about a 30% chance of advancing are probably about right. It's not likely, but not outside the realm of possibility. The US will have to play pretty well and get a little bit of luck to get through the group.
Well hell.
EASILY one of our top 5 players. I really liked him and liked watching him play. He had great control, passing, positioning, and makes some amazing tackles. Good for him that he's going home but I'm sad to see him leave.
I wish I knew how much Kamara money was left, if any, and how much we'll have after this. We need to make a big signing. Not a Clint Dempsey or Michael Bradley signing, but we need to spend some money on someone.

Yes. We play better as underdogs and between Germany and Portugal at least one has to falter.

Altidore?
Despite his poor run of form, Altidore won't come back to MLS for much less than $10m since that's about what Sunderland spent on him.
Perhaps Sporting KC had an agreement with Rosell that if a top European club came calling, they would make the deal happen. The transfer fee is pretty disappointing but depending on the sell-on fee, it could be quite beneficial in the end.
I was talking to someone about that. He's big and physical which we could use. His potential goal scoring upside is great. However he's in a seven month slump and we don't know how soon he'll come out of it. Also we always try to hard working players who aren't afraid to run and I don't know if Jozy will work hard enough to make Vermes happy.
There's a reason the "Is Jozy Running?" twitter account exists.

Yeah, that's a good point, you guys do tend to play a pretty fast paced offense. I can't decide if that would make him an awful fit or if having a big power forward up front would be an asset for you.

But if one falters Ghana is no joke and could easily take their place instead of the US.

The optimist in me says yes, the pessimist says absolutely not. I'm heavily on the pessimistic side right now.
I will eat a hat or something if we beat Germany.
no need to play the games then.
Pack it up boys.
Maybe we can start preparing for the 2022 games in

my DVR was so good that it caught the ending of the WNBA game before too
...it was an allright episode. just showed them with 50 cent, doing interviews in NY, beckerman being told to pretend he will win the world cup, and it made Chandler look like a fool during the Turkey game.
Damn it I'm really busy with work and stuck in a hotel room... anyone know if this one is up on Youtube yet?

Holy crap, we may just get lucky. Horrible news, I hope he gets better and all that but this may help us make it out of the group.
You need to make a big signing? Shieeeeet. The only DP we have is Valeri, and he definitely is not a big money DP. He's the kinda "just barely a DP" DP. I hope to GOD that Lescott signing goes through because our backline is TERRIBLE and the way the league is starting to pan out having a good backline is going to be more important than ever.
I hope he gets better soon. And by soon, I mean within the next couple months. Definitely not within the next month.
Honestly, it's a let down for me if he cannot play. I want to see this guy in person. I want to see the US beat him.
I know exactly what you mean. But if I had to chose seeing him play in person next week and us getting out of the group, well I want us going to the knockout stages.

Hey, even though the World Cup starts in about a week, the USA-Portugal game is almost three weeks away, so you might still have your chance, if Ronaldo recovers in time.
