- Cameron with another strong effort at RB for Stoke in their 2-1 win over ManU this morning.
- Howard & Guzan with starts, as well.
- Danny Williams with a start and a goal for Reading today.
- Onyewu started for Sheffield Wednesday against Barnsley where Shea also started. Gooch came off with a knee injury.
- Johannsson should start for AZ this afternoon when that game starts.
- Dempsey came on as a sub for Fulham. Good that hes getting some PT, but it sounds like he and Fulham arent playing well at the moment.

Cameron solid as always. Dempsey was never going to be able to turn Fulham's season around by himself but as long as he's getting play time it's good. Poor gooch.

Very excited about this game. S Korea has some quality players and great teamwork.

Cornballer · Feb 1, 2014

First game against South Korea since the 1-1 draw in the 2002 World Cup. That featured a Clint Mathis goal off a sick John O'Brien pass and Friedel saved a PK.

xbhaskarx · Feb 1, 2014

Altidore played well right up until he blew that chance late in the game...

Sigh, time to reset the "It has been ___ days since Gooch's last workplace knee injury" sign.

From Sciaretta:

The #usmnt starting XI Rimando/ Parkhurst, Besler, Gonzalez, Evans/Mix, Beckerman/Davis, Donovan, Zusi/Wondo (via @ArnoldcommaJon )

xbhaskarx · Feb 1, 2014

I'd rather not see either of the Brads starting but unfortunately that's no surprise...

Cornballer · Feb 1, 2014

Eddie Johnson is nursing a minor injury. He's on the bench.

Cornballer · Feb 1, 2014

Magee has food poisoning and won't play today. Tough break for him.

toxk_02 · Feb 1, 2014

Magee out with food poisoning, tough break for him.

edit; whoa

ed2 - waiting on bench, imagine Yedlin is there and will grab his 1st cap in the 2nd half.

Yeah, probably. Hoping Harrington will as well.

Hey ESPN2? TURN OFF THIS COLLEGE BASKETBALL GAME PLZ.

ActStriker · Feb 1, 2014

Stupid game needs to end.

Can't even find the game on WatchESPN, wtf

ActStriker · Feb 1, 2014

MISSED A GOAL ALREADY WTF

B-Dubs · Feb 1, 2014

I found it online, it's at the bottom of WatchESPN website. The stream sucks though.

daoster · Feb 1, 2014

hey, I'm at the game....or at least the parking lot of the freeway that is outside the the Damn stadium, you guys will probably see the game before me

ActStriker · Feb 1, 2014

holy shit Rimando

B-Dubs · Feb 1, 2014

It's on! College ball is gone! What a save!

Chris R · Feb 1, 2014

Lucky that GLT isn't in the game yet... that looked close.

darkside31337 · Feb 1, 2014

Just wanted to say fuck ESPN.

Missed the first 5 minutes and a Wondo goal cause of some shitty ass college basketball game. Fuck that!

At least it was close :| It would have sucked if the game wasn't even a contest but they wouldn't switch over. Basketball games NEVER finish on time, always take an extra 30+ minutes.

And wow at that finishing in the box, bottom of the group here we come!

Dartastic · Feb 1, 2014

Wow. That was quite a run. Could very easily tied the game.

ActStriker · Feb 1, 2014

That was almost pretty

Grover Cleveland · Feb 1, 2014

SK has the US really pinned down right now.

Have to weather this spell of pressure.

ActStriker · Feb 1, 2014

so close D:

darkside31337 · Feb 1, 2014

On the positive side we're up 1-0.

... And well thats about it :|

Nesotenso · Feb 1, 2014

the passing out the back from the centerbacks needs to be better. Would like to see Evans subbed out. The team is clearly showing signs of not playing competitive games together. Could go either way this game.

Cornballer · Feb 1, 2014

Feels like a Jan camp match. Not a lot of interest.

However, this pleases me:

That pass a second ago was horribly botched, providing a perfect example of why you're right.

Oh shit. Harrington isn't even available as a substitution?

Would like to see Yedlin come in.

Dartastic · Feb 1, 2014

Terrible pass by Davis. It was even called BEHIND him and Davis passed in front. Terrible.

ActStriker · Feb 1, 2014

WONDOOOOOOOO

NH Apache · Feb 1, 2014

Damn Wondo

darkside31337 · Feb 1, 2014

Yay Wondo!

Seriously. His play has been fantastic.

Cornballer · Feb 1, 2014

Nice to see Yedlin and Gil get some time.

darkside31337 · Feb 1, 2014

So theres still no chance Wondo goes to Brazil right? Unfortunate. I think he belongs.

I would agree.

xbhaskarx · Feb 1, 2014

Finally getting the f'ing Brads out of there and playing Yedlin and Gil...

(I forgot to press post on this comment ten minutes ago)

Dartastic · Feb 2, 2014

I kinda feel bad for Wondo. His play has been fantastic, and yet there's still not much of a chance that he's going to Brazil. Sad.

I think he'd have a seat if we didn't grab Johannsson. After this performance I hope he gets to play the Ukraine game, just to see if he can rise to the occasion.

On another note, I am totally getting tickets to that Jersey game.

Nesotenso · Feb 2, 2014

Wondo did what he does best. Good positioning sense and being an excellent poacher. I just don't think he will get the nod over EJ, who I find more infuriating whenever he attempts a step-over. Both the Brads showed that they don't belong. Omar and Besler need to cut out making mistakes while passing from the back because the WC opponents are going to punish them for doing that. The passing as a whole was off today.

Pretty much. Wondo is a good poacher but that's not what the team needs right now. Gonzalez and Besler were good until they tried to pass.

Now, if Donovan is going to be paired up front with someone, I don't see Dempsey fitting in the starting eleven anymore. I'm fine with that. Dempsey is too much of a sulk. Donovan is the type of player the team can depend on during high pressure situations(Slovenia and Algeria games for example).

Heretic · Feb 2, 2014

Good win today

daoster · Feb 2, 2014

I have nothing to say other than I was in the car more than the actual game today...at least I was able to see the second goal!

Fucking L.A. traffic. I'm lucky my dad used to own a dry cleaners nearby. The new owners know me so they let me park there and i just walk over to the home depot, i mean stub hub center.
