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

Exactly. I know Adu plays no D, but the guy is creative with the ball and tries to make things happen. Kind of wish he'd get another chance with the team. Also why I was hoping Donovan was playing.

Sigi please

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 agree more. Our defense is really bad too. Remy is a great player but exposed the back line in a matter of minutes.

Maybe it's just the players we have, but thus far under Klinsmann, we don't have an identity/style to our team.

It gets frustrating when no one put pressure on the ball. Somebody go after the fucking ball.

"All we need is an international coach"

lol. This is just sad.

Nesotenso · Nov 11, 2011

I just hope for once we get to see Dempsey, Donovan, Torres and Holden all play together.
Dempsey should be paired off with Jozy upfront.

Gamecocks625 · Nov 11, 2011

...what has happened to us?

daoster · Nov 12, 2011

All i have to say is uggh. I mean we're still a team in transition, but still....uggh

Klinsmann has to show me something today. I can't remember the last time our offense was this impotent.

After the clusterfuck of a performance from the midfield against France, Michael Bradley must see the field. He starts and plays 90 minutes every week in Serie A. That's as strong a resume as just about anyone in the pool.

Klinsmann's manlove for Beckerman has to stop. He has been mediocre. He also needs to stop playing Williams out of position.

Here is tonight's #USMNT lineup against Slovenia: Howard, Cherundolo, Goodson, Bocanegra (captain), Chandler

Beckerman, Bradley, Johnson, Dempsey; Buddle, Altidore. Bocanegra gets his 100th cap, Johnson his first start!

Beckerman manlove continues! But at least BRADLEY starts.

And Buddle, starting?

sazabirules · Nov 15, 2011

Let's see if we can score some goals. We haven't had this low of a scoring average since 1988. Altidore had a good game against France.

Oozer3993 · Nov 15, 2011

Buddle starting = automatic win. Pele 2: Electric Boogaloo is unstoppable when he starts.

sazabirules · Nov 15, 2011

Jeez the quality sucks haha. Are they playing in Silent Hill?

CrazyDogg77 · Nov 15, 2011

That was a nice chance created by Bradley.

Slizz · Nov 15, 2011

Wtf. Is that smoke or legit fog? Really gotta concentrate to see details....

EDIT: And of all the days to not use the yellow Hi-Vis ball...

Judderman · Nov 15, 2011

I can't see shit captain!

sazabirules · Nov 15, 2011

Buddle!

Judderman · Nov 15, 2011

BUDDLE!

daoster · Nov 15, 2011

Isn't 442 Old man Bradley's formation of choice?

VINDICATED?

jk.

BUDDLE!!

Slizz · Nov 15, 2011

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Judderman · Nov 15, 2011

How do you miss that?!

A guy tripping you does that. He should have had that but he was off balance.

CrazyDogg77 · Nov 15, 2011

I'm liking what I'm seeing so far.

Judderman · Nov 15, 2011

Hi-Vis balls were made for a reason...

Slizz · Nov 15, 2011

That was a nice finish.

Oozer3993 · Nov 15, 2011

After 2 gigantic mental breakdowns, I'm beginning to think Clarence Goodson forgot his brain in France.

Judderman · Nov 15, 2011

DEMPSEY! YES!

MaritalWheat · Nov 15, 2011

get in dempsey!
Edit: Penalty!
Welp, so much for not scoring.

Oozer3993 · Nov 15, 2011

Good things happen when you go 4-4-2.

Fake Edit: Really easy decision to award the PK and nice finish by Altidore.

MaritalWheat · Nov 15, 2011

This half has not started well at all sheesh.

Judderman · Nov 15, 2011

It was only a matter of time there.

Yeah especially after that corner. Who did Shea just come in for?

Nesotenso · Nov 15, 2011

Is the stadium fogged up or is the espn 3 stream fucked up ?

Looks so odd,. Fuck I had to miss the first half when they score 3.

Scoring summary so far ?

Buddle (9)
Dempsey (41)
Altidore (43) (PK)

Buddle's goal was a gorgeous half volley off the post from 25 yards out, Dempsey's was a header off a corner.

daoster · Nov 15, 2011

Finally...a win...and goals!!

Clydefrog · Nov 15, 2011

well i'll be damned!

Rafa=FedKilla · Nov 15, 2011

We need to install fog generators for every USMNT matches going forward.

Nesotenso · Nov 15, 2011

Having two strikers up front definitely made a difference. Was Agudelo selected in the squad for these matches ?
He needs to transfer to an MLS squad which will give him more playing time.

When is the next international friendly and when does qualification start ?

Rafa=FedKilla · Nov 15, 2011

Maybe Backe will be dumb enough to leave him unprotected in the Expansion draft.

Syracuse022 · Nov 15, 2011

Wish I could've watched the game. The highlights made it look like both teams blindfolded their defenders and tied their ankles together, but Buddle's goal was excellent and it's good to get a win. We've doubled our win total in the Klinsmann era. Nice work everyone. Co-sign on the fog generator idea by the way.

Gamecocks625 · Nov 16, 2011

Should have been the score in their WC 2010 matchup. rrrr

Pretty good game, though. Good to see the strikers get a little more action.

In every US fan's mind. Has to be.

The new FC Dallas shirt leaked...wait...this is our new home kit? Umm...

Regulus Tera · Nov 22, 2011

That actually looks pretty nice. Patriotic even!

Broder Salsa · Nov 22, 2011

White space on the back is kind of ugly but yeah, overall a lot better than the usual crap.

Nike did the same thing to the Away France shirt. It looks horrible and you should only ever get that one without a number.
