So, is the USA game not at 6:30 ET?
Why Klinsmann why? Orozco needs to go, Evans in the line up, Ream as LB? Yet, “we need to get younger and play more proactive soccer”?
Looks like it’s going to be
———–Zardes , Altidore———-
Shea, Williams, Jones, Yedlin
Ream, Orozco, Cameron, Evans
——————Howard——————
one of the more conservative line ups he could have gone with
Ecuador and Bolivia playing in a tropical rain at 0:0 35 mins in on BeIN sports…game should be suspended and replayed tomorrow at normal conditions at another time, as far as I am concerned…
Paraguay-Argentina next!!!
The 8 playoff teams in Europe, ranked by quality by me…as subjective as it gets, I have followed closely this Euro qualifying campaign:
1. Bosnia.
2. Sweden.
3. Ukraina.
4. Denmark.
5. Slovenia.
6. Ireland.
7. Norway.
8. Hungary.
Giovinco putting in the cross that creates the equalizer. Probably more of a Norway mistake tho
now nearly with the winner , but right at the keeper
Tight fight for a playoff spot among Bosnia-Herzegovina, Israel, and Cyprus.
Cyprus and B-H tied at 2
Israel in a scoreless draw at a weakened Belgium side
if B-H wins, it advances
if B-H loses or draws, and Israel wins, Israel advances
if Cyprus wins and Israel loses or draws, Cyprus advances
Wow Netherlands down 0-2 in a must win at home
Absolutely train wreck… 0-3 Van Persie Own Goal… lolz
If the dutch cant qualify when its now 24 teams that is just laughable. But i guess better than a repeat of them flopping back in 2012
puts the 4-3 friendly win in June into perspective.
exactly.
Also it is amazing seeing young talent from the region achieving some level of success. Joel Campbell of Costa Rica and Andy Najar of Honduras. Even Bryan Ruiz of Costa Rica.
what in the hell are you talking about?
campbell hasn’t done much of anything (if jozy had as poor a scoring rate as campbell, just imagine the criticism!), najar has had about as good a career as sacha kljestan so far, and bryan ruiz is 30 goddamn years old.
The problem with our NT is too many of our top players in MLS. Dempsey,Bradley,Altidore should all be in Europe. Spurs,Roma,Sunderland or whoever. Guys like Zardes,Agudelo,Bruin,McInerney should have moved to Europe years ago. Come on. Just like Jordan Morris. Needs to be in the Netherlands or Portufal or even Belgium
One of the few players actually playing at a high level in Europe, got sent home, so who knows
