So what would everyone consider a success for tonight?

I would love to see Die Klinnsmann Reich starts off with a victory, but that might be an unrealistic expectation considering he's only had a couple of weeks to mold this team to his liking. And Mexico is just a better side at the moment. But, I would be happy if they play well and keep the match close.

I love what Jorge Ramos just said on ESPN: "It's time for the US to stop playing soccer and start playing football".

 

[xbhaskarx]

They can't hold down the next American superstar, Brek Shea, he wants to be known on the global stage.

lol

 

[sefskillz]

couldn't they move the little league game to espn news? yeesh

 

[Tristam]

Fucking Little League baseball.

 

[sazabirules]

So I guess we'll have to watch on ESPNews or Univision until the baseball game ends.

 

[Heretic]

I like what jurgen said about playing for the crest on the jersey therefore no names in the back. Fuck I'm nervous...

EDIT: its on ESPND for me right now. 424 on time warner

Oh yeah - I forgot Univision was showing this. Won't have to worry about that stupid ESPN bar on my plasma.

 

[DominoKid]

whole lotta empty seats

 

[Regulus Tera]

who the fuck did you guys get to sing the Mexican anthem?

EDIT: Just stick to recorded mp3s next time and let the stadium sing please. /facepalm

 

[daoster]

Fuck you little league

 

[StriKeVillain]

US coach smiling, what is happening here!?

 

[Regulus Tera]

US coach smiling, what is happening here!?

Mexican coach is the grumpy one now.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Uuggghhh they need stop this thing where a man with a British accent gives them instant credibility, same for individual teams that follow it too. At least have one guy with a Mexican accent.

MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED. And what class.

 

[Mindlog]

I appreciate what José Feliciano's rendition of the national anthem meant at the time. I really do.

However, we have to standardize the sporting event version of the anthem.
The crowd wants to get into it, but the artists get in the way -_-

 

[Regulus Tera]

MY PRAYERS HAVE BEEN ANSWERED. And what class.

If you are watching it on ESPN2, the guy is Uruguayan.

 

[Sky Chief]

Why is the stadium so empty?

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

If you are watching it on ESPN2, the guy is Uruguayan.

Thank you. I apologizing for offending you.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Thank you. I apologizing for offending you.

No offence, he's just a really cool guy.

I'd be less pissed if the British guys they got weren't so good. Ian Darke is amazing and so is Arlo.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

Why is the stadium so empty?

They are all at PPL park brah. Cheering for the USMNT ain't as hip right now.

 

[Chris R]

The usa kit looks so bad. New kit for a new coach please.

 

[Slizz]

12-6 and we can't switch to soccer.... Annoying as hell. No SAP on Univision.

 

[DominoKid]

The usa kit looks so bad. New kit for a new coach please.

dude the sash kits are the best kits we've ever had by some margin.

 

[Sky Chief]

Then where are the Mexican fans

 

[xbhaskarx]

dude the sash kits are the best kits we've ever had by some margin.

We've had 3 good ones in our history:

The current 2010WC sash (red and blue only, white sucks)
2006WC white with a single vertical stripe
2009CC horizontal stripes (both home and away)

 

[StriKeVillain]

wtfisthisshit?

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Someone just started firejurgenklinnsmann.com

 

[Heretic]

Lame...

 

[Sky Chief]

That sucks

 

[Regulus Tera]

That goal was so United-States-circa-2002-like.

 

[NoRéN]

New coach, same defensive problems.

 

[Pollux]

12-6 and we can't switch to soccer.... Annoying as hell. No SAP on Univision.

i hate espn. seriously. this is crap.

 

[bluemax]

This shows you how far down the ladder Soccer is in this country.

That Mexico scored? Or that the stadium has a lot of empty seats.

 

[xbhaskarx]

That Mexico scored? Or that the stadium has a lot of empty seats.

I thought "that a national team friendly against our biggest rival is pre-emptied by little league baseball."

 

[Chris R]

Now I want some Tako Bell

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

I thought "that a national team friendly against our biggest rival is pre-emptied by little league baseball."

ESPN was making a statement on the purity of LL Baseball and how they are against jersey sponsors.

 

[Sky Chief]

I thought "that a national team friendly against our biggest rival is pre-emptied by little league baseball."

Don't forget that it's the first game that our team is being coached by a legendary player and exciting coach and they're still being preempted by 13 year olds

 

[Judderman]

What the fuck was that pointless shove? Get the fuck out of here with that.

 

[Crisis]

It takes three Mexicans to fight one Us Player.

 

[painey]

It takes three Mexicans to fight one Us Player.

and three US defenders to mark one Mexican player

 

[Judderman]

Wow that was embarrassing.

 

[Judderman]

We look like fucking clowns right now.

 

[Tristam]

Damn, Agudelo is incapable of controlling the ball...I know the delivery isn't always the best, but come on dude.

 

[xbhaskarx]

^ Agudelo is on the bench dude, that is Bundesliga 2 little used sub Edson Buddle.

Castillo had the ball bounce off his head for a corner kick and then completely whiffed on a clearance a minute later... why wouldn't Bradley give him a chance...

My mistake. Anger transferred to Buddle then.

EDIT: I'm liking what I see from Torres. Unlike most of the rest of the squad, he actually uses his head (figuratively), controls the ball well, and shows possession of good field vision.

 

[Rafa=FedKilla]

My mistake. Anger transferred to Buddle then.

If you hear the name Wan from the British dude then you know Aguedelo is playing.

 

[xbhaskarx]

That was not worth a yellow...

 

[Amibguous Cad]

I dunno, I think Buddle's been playing pretty well. We really need someone who can play in that lone striker role, and I think his hold up play's been pretty good.

 

[Pre]

Torres is a human turnover machine.
