Okay folks, I'm back from a much-needed vacation and it's time for the latest SBI Live Q&A.
There is a ton to discuss, including the U.S. national team's upcoming Brazil friendly, the transfer market, the CONCACAF Champions League and all things MLS. We can also discuss some pop culture, such asnew albums and the new season of Entourage, if you're so inclined.
See you all at 1:30pm.
What does the coaching switch at DCU mean to Andy Najar’s future? Will he leave at season end? Does the US stand a better chance at getting him to switch if Olsen, or possibly Bradley, is the coach?
What did you think of the Milk Cup? Who impressed you?
Who would you like to see play against Brazil, assuming everyone is available?
None. He would have been nice for this World Cup, but the next one? I don’t think we will be bringing that many midfielders on the wrong side of 30, and Donovan and Dempsey will be on that side, too. However, since he has barely played the last couple years, he should have a few less miles on the legs, so it is conceivable that he might be “younger” than 32.
I thought the roster for the Brazil game would be out by now, Bob always seems to take his time.
What kind of roster do you think he will pick? Heavily based MLS? Usual Eruos? Some young guns, like mls rookies, or euro roockies? Maybe even some U-20 kids from the Milk Cup? CD?
Now that the Fulham job did not happen for Bob, and if Europe does not happen at all, what about Mexico?
Ives:
There has been a lot of talk about Bradley rebuilding the USMNT over the next four years. Would this begin immediately or would he wait until after the 2011 Gold Cup? If it starts now, who do you think will be the surprise omissions for the Brazil friendly? Or, if he opts to give a lot of the WC players off to continue to recover, are there any mainstays that haven’t announced their retirement that Bob will move on from, like Boca, etc.? Thanks
Jermaine Jones: give your best prediction as to his future with the USMNT.
What do you think of Jemal Johnson’s trial with DC United? I think its great as he needs a fresh start he has stagnated in England for too long.
What are the odds of seeing Buddle start for the US national team against Brazil?
What do you think will happen to Freddy Adu?? And why doesn’t anyone need his services?
Q. Would the front office for DC United really trash their coach if they didn’t have someone in mind to step in immediately?
A. Yes. That is how the front office rolls…
Hey Ives: Is this a Blog or a Website? Some think it is a blog. What is your take?
