Past is past. Looking forward, I have a feeling that loss might help us in this tourney. The whole team played pretty awful with a few exceptions, first loss in group stages, could be just the kinda shit we needed to get us up and motivated(should already be motivated but still). Got a feeling either Donovan or Swag will have a good game.

Why Altidore? he shouldn't even be near our goalie box...sazabirules said:
Ream got beat but I feel Howard had that. Kick that leg out, dammit!
Man, Donovan was nowhere to be found till the last 5 - 10 minutes of the game. I don't think Bradley and Dempsey compliment him well. Or at least it didn't look that way.

He was the one covering the guy who headed it at Howard...
Starting at 1:12-1:13 of this video you see Altidore doing jack shit.

Watch the replay, you'll see Bocanegra and Altidore are the two closest to the guy who heads it. Before the free kick you'll see Bocanegra point the guy out to Altidore, who stands right next to him.

Only if we tie Guadeloupe, and if that's the case we don't deserve any better.

He had to be there because we defended a free kick seconds before.

I wouldn't be surprised if he starts with Dempsey up top. He had the most chances last match even before moving up top.
What channels has everyone been watching the matches on? I've been watching on the Spanish channels since I don't get FSC. Pablo Ramirez never gets old listening to as the commentator.
I'd like to see Agudelo and Dempsey up front. They're our most skilled ball movers. I can't see Altidore beating guys one on one or two on one. That's what we're missing. Ugh... it pisses me off that we don't have a single player that can "Joga Bonito"... stupid brazilians and their skilled players...
I've been watching on Univision or Telefutura. I have both in HD so i'll put up with the horrible comentating.

I love all the near misses.
SEEEE LAAAA PERRDDDIOOOOOO
Maybe it was cause the US was losing but I couldn't stand them last game. Jesus Bracamontez and Pablo Ramirez were my nemesis. I had my goggles on and any little credit they would give to Panama boiled my fucking blood. I wanted to kill them everytime they mentione Beloy or whatever his name was. I still prefer Andres Cantor.sazabirules said:

I just pray Bob makes a few changes and doesn't stick with the same exact lineup.

op you need to update the op with an up to date schedule
I just started playing Assassin's Creed II and I thought the main character's name was Ezio Altidore (it's Auditore, not Altidore). But I'm definitely going to start calling Jozy Ezio now!
and yell fake italian obscenities when he screws up
and go "mama mia! bravisimo!!! MEATSABALLSA" when he scores goals

I look forward to Altidore starting tonight and giving up possession 90% of the time he touches the ball.

Lineups should be out any minute. If Dempsey is not moved to withdrawn forward people will flip out.
I'm hoping we're a bit less defensive-minded and start out with Kljestan over Jones or Edu, but we probably won't be.
I wonder what happens with Cherundolo and Bocanegra, they're both a little old to be starting again on two days rest. I assume Bocanegra is at least moved to CB. Which means we could see Lichaj at RB and Bornstein at LB.
