Not much too say. No one stood out. Would like Shea to take on players more but he will get better. One of the better prospects.

It's a non-qualification match away to a very good team, no one should be freaking out.

What about losing 1-0 to Costa Rica at home?

But yeah the big problem is not the results, it's the roster selection and the lineups and the substitutions and a lot of that other stuff that Klinsmann has far more control over.

Well we had a promising start there, but everyone just grew tired. I just hate the fact that Altiidore or Agudelo or always seem to be alone up front . I like Chandler but his crosses are not good enough but he is not alone. We need better crossing in to the box and the players need to be more aggressive to create shots.

Hopefully guys like Castillo and Rogers will not come back into the side.

Obviously it's not the result people wanted, but Kilnsmann is just feeling out the lineup. He's been tinkering and trying players that Bradley never gave the time of day to.

If he's still starting Castillo and Rogers in 4-5 months then I'll be out on the ledge with you, but it's not like he hasn't hit on a few selections. Shea and Torres have been pretty good. I'm sure goals will come.

I though it was a handball because the flag went up so quickly. Saw the replay only once though. It's too early to pass a judgement on Klinsmann. Would prefer wins but I ould rather have a good core come qualification. Good to hear Holden playing a reserve game. Hopefully he will be full strength by the end of the year.

Bradley used 111 different players over his tenure. How many players have made their USMNT debut over the last three games? Zero.
In fact Bradley was calling Joe Benny Corona for the Mexico friendly and he says he would have accepted, Klinsy didn't call him in and now he's with the Mexican U22s. But hey at least he brought Castillo and Fiscal back after Bradley had not given them the time of day for so long...

I was pissed when Bradley named Rogers to the Gold Cup roster, as a replacement. He never played a minute, I don't even think he made the bench. Now he appears to be a f'ing regular starter for us.

You should look at the previous 2 matches against CR. I'd take a loss in a friendly over our previous 2 matches against Costa Rica in the Hex.

I didn't catch the second half but I'm not surprised. Chandler should stay as a RB since he can't cross from the left and Rogers should never be a starting winger. Hopefully Klinsmann's relationship with Rogers doesn't cause him to favor him. We keep him on the roster but get rid of Chris Pontius...

I've watched the replay multiple times.

It really doesn't matter what the ref called. Be it a foul, offside, or handball, he made the wrong decision, because none of those happened.

The US game against Ecuador is at Red Bull Arena.

Edit:

Tony Sanneh is spreading a rumor that Joachim Löw was visiting Chandler today to convince him to play for Germany but Greg Seltzer shot it down.

Some German press officer is not enough to keep me from being worried, given Tony Sanneh's connections to both FC Nurnberg and Chandler.
On the other hand there are Chandler's public statements that he would never play for Germany, and European arrogance...

Egypt name American Bradley as coach

* Bradley expected in Cairo by Monday

* Replaces Shehata who left in June

* Egypt not in African Nations finals

CAIRO, Sept 14 (Reuters) - Egypt have appointed former United States coach Bob Bradley as national team manager, state news agency MENA said on Wednesday.

Bradley replaces long-standing coach Hassan Shehata who left in June after holders Egypt struggled in qualifying for the 2012 African Nations Cup finals. They have since been eliminated.

Bradley, fired by the U.S. in July, was on an Egyptian FA shortlist that included the experienced Francisco Maturana, who has managed Peru, Ecuador and his native Colombia, and Zoran Filipovic, the former Yugoslav striker and Montenegro coach.

The American will be given the task of getting Egypt to the World Cup finals for the first time since 1990.

Bradley is expected to arrive in Cairo on Sunday or Monday to sign a contract, Egyptian FA spokesman Azmi Mugahed told MENA. Details of the deal will be announced next week.

Bradley took over as the permanent head coach of the U.S. in 2007 after being taken on as interim coach when the Americans flopped at the 2006 World Cup in Germany.

He enjoyed instant success, winning the 2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup at home and leading the U.S. to the final of the 2009 Confederations Cup in South Africa.

Bradley guided the team through the qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup, also in South Africa, but they lost in the second round to Ghana after drawing with England in the group stage.

Bradley was linked with a move to English Premier League club Aston Villa but signed a four-year extension last year to stay on as U.S. head coach.

However, his position came under renewed attack after the U.S. were beaten by Panama in the group stages at this year's CONCACAF Gold Cup. They recovered to reach the final against Mexico but squandered a 2-0 lead to lose 4-2.

Egypt really isn't a bad squad. Wouldn't be surprised if he could finagle something decent out of the squad. All the best to him.


Tickets for the Miami game go on sale tomorrow can't fucking wait.
