A few more details on the additional callups:

@SoccerByIves: USMNT had originally planned to call in Graham Zusi but had to change plans, switched to Gonzalez. No word on what changed.

@GrantWahl: USSF says Omar González wouldn't join USMNT until Gold Cup semis if team makes it. Arena putting foot down?

@SoccerInsider: Oguchi Onyewu was dropped because of ankle sprain. Herculez Gomez still feeling effects of knee injury, not 100% #usmnt

Ike Opara has been a good fill in for SKC. So while I'd rather have Besler back there, it doesn't hurt as bad as it could. That and it'll be nice to see him get another cap and help him settle into a regular role for the USMNT. I'm assuming the last minute Zusi change is Vermes saying nonono with the huge games coming up. As it stands now, we play #1 in the West this weekend, #2 in the East after that, and #3 in the East after that.

- Jeff Carlisle over at ESPNFC: Are American players undervalued?

Really, really good article, which covered a lot of the angle. Truth be told, a great number of Americans look down on American born players, in relation to those from England and other parts o the world. It's almost bred into the culture of the sport.

I'm rooting so hard for Jozy's stint at Sunderland. Fair or not, he plays for more than his own reputation.

Alan Gordon? Him?

I don't know what is special about him besides being a dirty player.

71k sellout expected in Baltimore for the quarterfinals on Sunday. Should be a pro-El Salvador crowd for the US match.

EDIT:

Steven Goff on the crowd: In Gold Cup, El Salvador feels at home

@SoccerByIves: ESPN Deportes' John Sutcliffe reporting that #USMNT and Club Tijuana Herculez Gomez to miss 4-8 weeks after having right knee cleaned out.

[Clydefrog]

a knee can be... cleaned out??? *shudders*

 

[sazabirules]

It sounds like we're still getting the combined CONMEBOL-CONCACAF tournament in 2016 in the US.

Quarterfinal is this afternoon:

U.S. Men vs. El Salvador
M&T Bank Stadium; Baltimore, Md.
July 21, 2013 @ 4 p.m. ET
FOX

Goodson did the press conference yesterday, so he's probably starting. I'm not sure what Klinsmann has up his sleeve other than that, but here's Galarcep's guess. The crowd will be a sell out and overwhelmingly in favor of El Salvador - should be a good test for the US. The winner will play the winner of the Honduras - Costa Rica game.

On the other side of the draw, Panama and Mexico notched victories yesterday and will face each other in the semifinal.

 

[Cornballer]

#usmnt: Rimando; Parkhurst, Besler, Goodson, Beasley; Corona, Beckerman, Diskerud, Torres; Donovan, Wondolowski.

WHERE YOU AT USAMNT-GAF!?

 

[Nesotenso]

Wondo was terrible last time around. Don't like Beckerman but Jurgen clearly isn't comfortable leaving out at least one defensive mid.

 

[Judderman]

WHERE YOU AT USAMNT-GAF!?

THAT FLAG AIN'T BIG ENOUGH!

 

[Akim]

USA USA USA

 

[Cornballer]

Good to see Mixx getting an early tackle in.

 

[CobbFC09]

So much blue. Doesn't help that the seats are royal blue too.

 

[Judderman]

C'mon Mix.

 

[TheChits]

Damn that was such a good chance :/

 

[Cornballer]

Settle down, Goodson. Don't compound mistakes like that. :/

 

[timetokill]

FINISH damn it

Creating good opportunities but no finishing just yet

 

[CobbFC09]

Settle down, Goodson. Don't compound mistakes like that. :/

Yeah, we don't need any of those "legit" yellow cards.

 

[Cornballer]

Close again there on the corner. Need to finish one of those off and shut up this crowd.

 

[Judderman]

YES!

 

[timetokill]

Hell of a pass there

 

[sneakypete]

YESH

 

[TheChits]

YeSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

 

[Cornballer]

Lol, short corner goal!

 

[CobbFC09]

That was gorgeous.

 

[Frank the Great]

Awesome corner kick goal.

 

[timetokill]

Fuckin' beautiful!!!

 

[Cornballer]

Awesome corner kick goal.

I'm shocked that they linked up that many passes on a short corner play. Good stuff.

 

[ZZMitch]

Great goal

 

[Slizz]

Holy shit, huge saves.

 

[Judderman]

Oh fuck! Thank you, Rimando!

 

[Frank the Great]

[Judderman]

Hell yes!

[TheChits]

[GhostWriter24]
