Just ordered the away USA kit, haven't been this fired up about soccer since my team played in the state championship senior year of high school 
I'm so starved for USMNT-related content that I just watched this video on the MLS website. This guy Simon on the right is pretty much an idiot.
Also, just a reminder that the match US - Turkey match tomorrow is at 2pm Eastern, 11am Pacific.

I would imagine ESPN would be showing it. I'm not sure when though.
xbhaskarx had a good line-up...here it is.daoster said:
However, read an article where Bradley stated that he expected "most" of the regulars to start. Given that it's a friendly with upto six subs, xbhaskarx's line up looks very likely. May even get to see Bradley paired up with more than two people.xbhaskarx said:
As for the entire starting team playing tomorrow, I'm guessing Onyewu is unlikely just a few days after playing for the first time in months and looking quite shaky at times. I think it will probably be Goodson instead.
My educated guess for Onyewu is that he goes against Australia, England, and then Algeria.

I gladly support my Yanks! USA! USA! USA!
The ones that walk out with the players, right? Hmm, I would like to know that too. Even better are the kids at half-time at GALAXY games. Little toddlers come out in huge shirt and play a short match. It's awesome and everyone gets into it!cashman said:

Those games suck. Half the time no one even scores and the game ends in a tie. Fuck that noise; they should make the kids stay out there until someone scores a goddamn goal and wins it.

I'd go with Altidore/Buddle with Gomez the super sub coming on in the second half. As for the midfield I like Bradley/Edu but Bradley/Torres would probably be just as good.
Also, who do you guys think is the first Yank sent off on some BS call? You know it's going to happen. I'm guessing either Mike Bradley or "Redcardo" Clark.
You guys really think Buddle will start up top with Altidore? He was virtually non-existent for the Czech game, so I don't think he'll get the nod this time around. I think Bradley will most likely play it safe and put Dempsey up on top...I've been reading some reports that Gomez has been playing well with Altidore during practices, so if there will be a gamble, it might be Gomez up on top (instead of the super sub!)
I think Bradley (the coach) will most likely pair up little Bradley with Clark, though I'd personally rather see a Bradley-Edu or Bradley-Torres (maybe even Bradley-Feilhaber?) combo.
And Oneywu really not starting? I think, more than anything, Bradley is desperate to get Gooch up to 100%, and the best way to do that is 90 minutes (or close to 90 minutes) of gameplay. Leaving him out till the Australia friendly is cutting it a little too close for my liking to properly gauge where he is.
And who's gonna be the first Yank sent off for a (maybe) BS call? Most definitely Michael Bradley man...I like the guy, but he seems like he has a major anger problem, like the incident with Uruguay at the U20 World Cup...or the red card against Spain in the Confed Cup (and he even confronted the ref at that one...).
Great player, let's hope his emotions don't take a hold of him when it counts.
EDIT: Here's the roster...Guess Gooch ISN'T starting
------------------------Altidore------
------------------------Dempsey----------
---------------Feilhaber------------Donovan--------
---------------------Clark--------Bradley-------
-----------Bocanegra---Goodson--DeMerit--Spector---
------------------------Howard

Dempsey always looks like he's ready to off himself, lulling the defense into a pitying state so he can smash one home from 30 yards out.
Thank you. Now I have context and he won't annoy me so much.sw33tclyde said:
Actually I was trying to interpret your intentionally obtuse statement. Your "you must not watch much international soccer, filthy plebe jocko" comment rang as though his attitude were the norm in the sport.
