That kick was awesome. Would have been even better if it somehow was a goal.

Make SJ proud, Wondo.

That save by Howard by sick. I love him.

agreed.
thanks, howard!

Pretty much. Howard pulling those saves near the end was great. Defense did not have much to do so that was both good and bad as they are still to be put to the test. Altidore scoring was good but I felt that Agudelo went somewhat silent when Altidore scored. Dempsey, Donovan, and Bradley were themselves, classy.ngower said:Shaky performance to be honest, but a win's a win.

Overall, good win but I fear that a performance like this against Costa Rica or Mexico will not be enough.
I thought we played very well. There were a couple of times where we let Canada have extended possession, but we possessed the ball quite a bit ourselves and the defense looked solid for the most part. Bradley/Jones was an outstanding pairing in the middle and Jozy had a great confidence-boosting performance.
We could have done some things better, but I'm happy.

Definitely. Bradley seems to be the deciding factor in whether or not the other CM option plays well. Jozy had a good game, first in a while. Let's just hope now that Agudelo brings some of that swag he's had in past games, both for the national team and the Red Bulls.Pre said:I thought we played very well.

The MNT yes, but the U-17s have their World Cup in Mexico starting later this month.
The latest videos they posted are pretty good:

U dudes forgot the WNT World Cup! >_> <_<
xbhaskarx said:Wow Dempsey, that would have been insane.
That place has to be in even worse shape than RFK right?
Decently preserved, and the renovation plan is batshit insane. Basically they want to put the field at the base of the current upper bowl and stick an arena underneath the field, taking the dome off at the end. So you have a soccer stadium on top of a hockey/lacrosse/basketball arena.
More than anything, as a local, I wish that our best hope for a team wasn't all the way out in Pontiac. It means awesome scenes like the march to the stadium yesterday could never happen; but it's a chance and I'll take it.

Some Mexicans on the team caught doping. Are they trying to help us win?

LOL
Starting goalkeeper Guillermo Ochoa and four teammates were removed from the Mexican national team on Thursday afternoon after positive drug tests for the substance "Clenbuterol", a banned stimulant that can be used to ease the symptoms of chronic breathing disorders.
The following players Francisco Javier Rodriguez, Antonio "Sinha" Naelson, Christian Bermudez, Edgar Duenas, and Ochoa face a suspension of up to a year depending on whether or not the positive drug tests were not accidential.
In a press conference held on Thursday, the Mexican Football Federation speculated that the players consumed chicken that was tainted with the drug and will request that the team be allowed to field replacement players for the rest of the Gold Cup. The removals come just one day after defender Ricardo Osorio also left the team due to an injury.
The removals have major ramifications for El Tri, which loses its starting goalkeeper as well as several key players at the start of the Gold Cup. It should be noted that none of the players have been formally suspended from the Gold Cup, just removed from the Mexican team as a precaution, which means there is still the possibility the players could return if a logical and legal explanation for the initial failed tests is found.

^^ That should be a fun time!
Mexico says its beef doesn't contain clenbuterol, hurting soccer players' defense lat.ms/irg3zP
Mexico's health department said Friday that occurrences of contaminated beef in Mexico are less than one in a million.
CONCACAF said that a meeting of the Gold Cup organizing committee that had been scheduled for Friday to consider possible action regarding the players was postponed so that more informationcould be gathered.
Unfortunately only the keeper is good out of the bunch...xbhaskarx said:Cabrera Names U.S. Team for 2011 FIFA Under-17 World Cup in Mexico

Yeah that confused me too, but it is the LA Times stating what the Mexican health department said, presumably they both know more about what's going on than we do.XMonkey said:I thought they blamed it on chicken?
