From the link:


It will be interesting to see who else they add...

I know. I was trying to imply that it is highly likely that the Union are being knocked out tomorrow. I'm not surprised Fabian Hürzeler didn't make it. He's barely played for BMII and they are terrible.

[sazabirules]

This is a horrible method for releasing the roster.

Howard, Hamid

Timmy Chandler, Steve Cherundolo, Clarence Goodson, Alfredo Morales, Michael Orozco Fiscal, Onyewu, Bocanegra

Kyle Beckerman, Maurice Edu, Clint Dempsey, Michael Bradley, Fabian Johnson, Jermaine Jones, Robbie Rogers, Brek Shea, Danny Williams

Jozy Altidore, DeMarcus Beasley, Edson Buddle, Landon Donovan

I question the choices in bold.

 

[daoster]

Lol, yeah...freaking annoying

 

[Skellig Gra]

This is a horrible method for releasing the roster.

Howard, Hamid

Timmy Chandler, Steve Cherundolo, Clarence Goodson, Alfredo Morales, Michael Orozco Fiscal, Onyewu, Bocanegra

Huh, is that the whole thing?

 

[sazabirules]

Huh, is that the whole thing?

No they're having Bocanegra tweet it and answer questions at the same time so it is taking forever. It's nice that we're getting Morales before Peru tries to cap him.

 

[Skellig Gra]

No they're having Bocanegra tweet it and answer questions at the same time so it is taking forever. It's nice that we're getting Morales before Peru tries to cap him.

Oh...lame.

 

[sazabirules]

It is very lame that Klinsmann chooses his boytoy over Sacha Klejstan or even Chris Rolfe who are both in very good form.

 

[Clydefrog]

Should be an interesting game against France. I agree with you, sazabi, on the bolded choices as irking.

 

[daoster]

Haven't heard of Morales...is he good?

 

[sazabirules]

Haven't heard of Morales...is he good?

I've heard mixed things. He's played five times for Hertha since last year. He's young and Peru was looking to cap him so I assume we're just trying to get him to commit to us even if he is just a raw prospect.

Klinnsman is an idiot if he doesn't swap a player out for whoever is left in the MLS Cup final. I'd rather have LA lose so we don't get Beckerman and we get Donovan.


Klinsmann: "We agreed that whoever will be involved in the [mls] final will be released after the game against France"

 

[xbhaskarx]

Michael Orozco Fiscal

Robbie Rogers

Are you fucking kidding me....
Also, it still boggles my mind that Omar Gonzalez (instead of MOF) and Herculez Gomez (instead of either Beasley or Buddle) are still not getting called up.

 

[Nesotenso]

What is this fascination with Rogers? The dude is just straight up mediocre.

 

[xbhaskarx]

He is barely above average as an MLS player.

Also, I still can't believe that Kyle Beckerman is now a regular starter for our national team, ahead of Bradley, Jones, and Edu.

Kyle Beckerman, Maurice Edu, Michael Bradley, Jermaine Jones, Danny Williams

Did Bob Bradley regularly call in that many defensive midfielders?

 

[methodman]

Will this finally be the game where demps and Landon play together?

No Freddy Adu

I was never impressed by his play that I saw with the Union.

 

[sazabirules]

Jozy scoring on his birthday.

 

[~Devil Trigger~]

Jozy scoring on his birthday.

wow that was brutal

 

[daoster]

Jozy scoring on his birthday.

Very nice!

 

[Slizz]

What do you suppose it is with Jozy and his scoring Club vs. International? Seems like his club manager LOVES him and Jozy responds by really preforming on the field. Is it all about his manager's faith in him?

 

[methodman]

that was a great run, damn.

 

[daoster]

Donovan pulled out of France friendly

 

[Clydefrog]

Jozy scoring on his birthday.

Damn, Jozy be stylin' these days. He's only 22!

 

[neoanarch]

Did Joe Corona accept the call up in the u23 squad? He was just in mexicos squad a few months ago. That just irritates me.

 

[sazabirules]

Yes and he was going to be called up in our game against Mexico but Bradley was fired.

 

[methodman]

Will this finally be the game where demps and Landon play together?

Donovan pulled out of France friendly

fail lol

 

[sazabirules]

Our Olympic camps had two scrimmages today. The U23s played Bochum's reserves and won 3-1. The goals were scored by Terrence Boyd, Tony Taylor and Dilly Duka. The mainly younger squad tied against Azerbaijan's U-21s 0-0.

It's also looking like we're playing Italy in February in Genoa.

The three cities for Olympic qualifying are Carson, Nashville, Kansas City.

USMNT starters vs. France: Howard, Cherundolo, Goodson, Bocanegra, Chandler, Williams, Beckerman, Edu, Shea, Dempsey, Altidore

USA bench: Hamid, Orozco Fiscal, Bradley, Johnson, Jones, Beasley, Buddle. Not in 18: Onyewu, Morales, Rogers.

Why BECKERMAN gets the start before Bradley...I still dunno.

 

[methodman]

beckerman keeps losin the damn ball. cmon man

edit: alti should have gotten a penalty kick.

 

[Slizz]

beckerman keeps losin the damn ball. cmon man

I don't get it. He is so slow and sluggish. Like he's playing in quicksand. Micheal Bradley pleasssseeee

 

[shoplifter]

beckerman keeps losin the damn ball. cmon man

He cannot adjust to the speed of international play - he always looks a step behind.

 

[methodman]

Alti is playing extremely confidently.

 

[Nesotenso]

The midfield needs to hold possession and put more pressure on the ball.

 

[methodman]

Nice save by howard

 

[Nesotenso]

The midfield needs to be more aggressive. Our attack barring Jozy with a few good touches has been non-existent.

 

[Heretic]

Any streams online?

Espn 3 ?

Jozy scoring on his birthday.

Very nice!

 

[Heretic]

ref needs to get that laser of Howard's face!

 

[jacket320]

Unbelievable save

 

[Heretic]

Dammit!

 

[Nesotenso]

We seem to fall down a lot anytime we come in the vicinity of the box. Attacking venom is seriously lacking.

 

[Creamwolf]

We're extremely difficult to watch.

 

[methodman]

We're extremely difficult to watch.

We don't have any consistent method of attack. Our possession game is subpar and our midfield is not able to hold the ball longer than a couple seconds.

 

[Shito]

If that's any consolation for you guys, our French team is quite painful to watch as well...

 

[Nesotenso]

We don't have any consistent method of attack. Our possession game is subpar and our midfield is not able to hold the ball longer than a couple seconds.

Couldn't have put it better myself. We need some creative and determined players in the midfield.
