US's Fabian Johnson still sick, won't report to KC for Guatemala game. No replacement. Bocanegra again at LB?

Wee!

 

[vas_a_morir]

Man, soccer is blowing up in the US. This is the first time I've ever seen so much coverage and discussion about WC qualifiers.

 

[artorias the abysswalker]

unreal nervous about this game...really wish fabian was not sick. speed on the outside is a big deal vs guatemala....boca may get really caught out here.

If you want to believe in the United States men's national team, spend some time listening to Clint Dempsey. The soft-spoken yet passionate U.S. star emits a confidence that oozes as thickly as a teenager's cologne. Forged during his well-documented rise from humble beginnings in Nacogdoches, Texas, this belief is well placed and contagious. After learning to master the game as a toddler kicking a basketball around a dirt field barefoot, he proceeded to net 17 Premier League goals last season. Each one stands as a testament to his talent, sacrifice and dedication.

[Meus Renaissance]

Are you guys football fans, or do you just watch because the US are playing?

 

[Cousteau]

Love quality football.Doesnt matter who is playin.

 

[nick nacc]

If you watch USA football you definitely are a footy fan IMO.

 

[ActStriker]

Are you guys football fans, or do you just watch because the US are playing?

Over the last 2 World Cups I'm becoming more of a soccer fan. I try to watch when its on and I'm not busy.

 

[sazabirules]

Many of us post in the main thread as well...

 

[Owensboro]

I only watch "Big" or "important" matches, but that's mostly because I have no rooting interest for any team. I watch all the USA games though, and every game of the World Cup. I freaking love the World Cup.

 

[Seda]

I'm a huge sports fan in general. For soccer though, I really only watch US games or major tournaments.

 

[daoster]

Jamaica is up 2-0...on the other side.

 

[nick nacc]

This game is awesome, so much attacking

 

[Owensboro]

Jamaica is up 2-0...on the other side.

What's the goal differential Jamaica needs to make up in order to get in (assuming USA wins)? I got a buddy who's parents are from there.

3 goals

Not quite sure, I think Jamaica needs to score 1 more in order to get through if USA wins, because Guatemala scored on us.

 

[ActStriker]

YES

 

[Heretic]

What a dick! Give that to Bradley hahaha

it was going out.

 

[Cousteau]

Well damn

 

[Seda]
