Tim Howard, Landon Donovan and Everton faces Jozy Altidore's Hull City in the day's most anticipated match for American fans.
The three Americans will reunite just four days after being in the United States' lineup for Wednesday's 2-1 exhibition loss to the Netherlands and all three should play roles in today's tilt.
There are other quality matches on offer today, including Inter Milan-Genoa and Independiente-River Plate. American striker Herculez Gomez will look to keep his torrid scoring pace going when Puebla faces UNAM Pumas today.

Donovan with an impressive substitute session today with a goal and assist. I think hes out of Everton’s price range now though.
Herculez Gomez is scoring goals in mexico like it’s nothing. It’s his 5th in 7 games.
there’s no way gomez is going. If Davies isn’t ready then Bradley’s not gonna take a forward just because he’s a forward. I’m sure he’ll have no problem putting dempsey or donovan up front. We have enough mids to cover.
Osman comes off with an injury and they bring in…Rodwell? Not encouraging if we’re looking to see Donovan in this match
Fox en Español just mentioned the Chelsea rumor…
there is always a fan behind one of the goals at the bernabeu who always has that flag too.
Oh boy and I say that and Hull stops the penalty then scores haha…
Hahaha Hull is such a joke
Talk to the MLS. Don’t think MLS would let Chivas USA transfer to the EPL. 🙂
hahaha
“Please some EPL team hire BB next year so our guys can start.”
Umm yea we would get a team of Klejstan, Bornstein, Casey, and Hejduk…
And Arteta scores…
So what is the reward for a scoring a goal as a Hull striker? The bench. Hasn’t Jozy been on the bench since he scored his goal? Why not start Altidore who just practiced against Howard and probably scored against him in practice. I guess it is better to start a striker who plays for a national team that is NOT going to the WC.
And Moyes is pissed that LD is moving to Chelsea. LD’s reward for being a rising EPL star? The bench.
Please some EPL team hire BB next year so our guys can start.
I can understand Donovan on the bench but Jozy on the bench is just ridiculous.
JOH and Jozy teamed up really well a couple weeks ago and now with Bullard back that can only make things better. But Phil Brown never ceases to amaze me. I always hear interviews from this guy talking about the most difficult thing as a manager is to find the right combination of players….ummm hey Phil its March and I haven’t seen one consistent lineup from you so whats that say about your skills as a manager?
was gonna race to the red lion for this one….maybe i’ll make it for the second half. no LD?? anyone know anything about his health? maybe still battling the flu, so no start?
forget firing bob bradley
lets all get phil brown fired for the simple betterment of man kind
http://www.livefootballstream.net/
best thing since sliced bread, imo
Nice video…
God, Zaki again……I cannot stand him for all the obvious reasons (won’t play for a team because of Algerians, unprofessional, etc.) He would be a guy I would love to heckle at a game and get under his skin….Good job Phil Brown…Guess you didn’t see how Jozy played well against the No.3 Defense in the world…
disrespectful? are you kidding?
I can’t…use him while you’ve got him. They’ll have plenty of time to get used to him not being there. (Not to mention, they had all of August – December to see how they play without him.)
That said, I guess he’s still recovering from being sick and didn’t show enough in practice maybe.
This video will get you hyped to watch the Yanks Abroad battle today: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NB4blj3e2ow
CHELSEA will acquire Landon Donovan and MOYES will soon learn EVERTON wouldn’t be near there current standings without him.
BROWN starts the obviously unfit ZAKI!?
No Jozy or Donovan to start? Zzzzzzzzzzzz. Well maybe second half will be worth watching. C’mon you yanks!
Yup. It just means I have at least an extra hour to get things done before either of them come on.
Landon starting on the bench today.
Ah tweets I see. Still haven’t gotten into that yet, useful as they may be. Thanks pjseven. Well that sucks big time. Kinda anticlimatic.
Both Americans on the bench. What a send off for Landon. That seems disrespectful to have him as a sub on his last game.
I don’t know if Phil Brown has paid attention to how horrid his team plays when Jozy is not in the lineup to disrupt the defense. I’m pissed that I was planning on skipping church for this game
Well them starting on the bench really puts a damper on things. I can understand Moyes preparing the team for post Landon, but nothing Phil Brown does ever makes much sense.
Ives tweeted that they are starting on the bench.
Boaz Myhill, Paul McShane, Kamil Zayatte, Steven Mouyokolo, Kevin Kilbane, Richard Garcia, Jimmy Bullard, George Boateng, Tom Cairney, Nick Barmby, Amr Zaki.
Tim Howard, Leighton Baines, John Heitinga, Phil Jagielka, Mikel Arteta, Sylvain Distin, Phil Neville, Steven Pienaar, Leon Osman, Yakubu, Victor Anichebe.
I cant find where you are seeing this. Nothing I’ve seen so far has the starting lineups.

sadly, you’re probably right. It IS strange though.
Weird. Saw a Confederate Flag in the stand of the Bologna-Napoli game. Hope that is meant as a symbol of southern living, rather than a symbol of racism. Sadly, probably the latter…
My head just might explode today if Jozy scores on Timmy.
But as a Liverpool fan, I have to root for Hull. Plus my favorite color is orange.
NY/USMNT pride today!
I simply do NOT understand how LD an Jozy aren’t starting.
And here comes Villa. Carew with 2 to put Villa ahead 3-2.
mcbride
Freidel and Villa getting smoke checked 2 nil at half to Reading…wow!
CHAAARRRLIE DAAAVVIIEESS!!! That’s right everyone yell it. He IS coming back no ands, ifs, or buts. We need to stay behind him. Why? Just like my friend said, “Where has this guy been. I have NEVER seen a forward like that for the US.” during the Confed Cup.
Think foxsoccer.rayv.com providesw live web feeds for ~ $5 per day. hope that helps.
Hope Jozy gets the start today – would be great to him, Landon and Tim on the pitch at the same time… and that he – Jozy – bags another goal.
Boo! Everton Hull not on ESPN 360. Does FSC have a 360 equivalent?
Good question Mike Z. How good IS this guy, I’ve never seen him play?
Davies should be back to training in a week or two. I really believe he will be ready to play in the WC. IF not, players like Dempsey and Donovan are much better options.
If Davies is not ready to go by World Cup time what is the chance of Bradley taking an in-form stiker that is outside of the current national team pool like Gomez?
