zenryan Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I just figured something like that was going to happen. Chandler didnt look that good and it seemed like there were times the back line played very lax and to put out that type of effort on the game winner is just pathetic. Get a win vs Costa Rica, take our lumps against Mexico and go from there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 Apparently Comcast cancelled my sports package without giving me any notice, so I couldn't watch this game. Turned out to be a good thing. Oh well, not the end of the world, just leaves a little less room for error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont see why this team cant get 3-4 points from Panama,CR or Jamaica. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I'm sure Mexico will still qualify, but tieing Jamaica at home is a way worse result than losing @ Honduras. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox_Sonix Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Losing at Honduras is not the end of the world, but the US strategy in the game was horrible. They just sat back mostly, didn't look to press or attack and looked lethargic and uninspired. Chandler looked bad, Cameron made a horrible mistake, Gonzalez was sketchy and Klinsmann's choice of starters as well as subs (and timing of) were all suspect. If we get 3 points against Costa Rica we're fine, but it was not the greatest of starts for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juve is just another class though. Yeah, it was always going to be a big ask. In actual fact, we gave a much better account of ourselves than the three goal margin would suggest. We had them under severe pressure for long periods of the game - alas, they took their opportunities to score, whereas we didn't. The whole "ball in the net" thing aside, I'm actually quite heartened by how well we played, if that makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texsox Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 I am pretty excited, my local university is back with a Div 1 soccer program as part of joining the Western Athletic Conference. Sitting on the border, and being one of the top Hispanic universities in the US, I'm hoping we can pull in a few of the top players from Mexico.

ChiSox_Sonix Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 US U-20 team won their opening qualifier yesterday for the U20 WC. Didn't look that great, especially in the back, but I really liked what I saw in the attack from Cuevas, Gil, Rodriguez and Villareal - Cuevas in particular. It is very important that they qualify for the U20 WC so we can try and get players like John Anthony Brooks and Julian Green into another American youth squad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiSox_Sonix Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 US qualified for the Under-20 World Cup in July last night. This was really important for the developmental program and also because it might allow us to get some dual nationals into US Soccer like John Anthony Brooks, Adam Henley and Shawn Parker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoxFan562004 Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 Apparently in prepping him to be an announcer for matches, somebody told Gus Johnson "in the area" is an important soccer term. I've watched one game and sixteen minutes of the MU-RM game and he constantly says it anytime a ball is near one of the goals. Don't play a drinking game based on it, you will get sick.

ChiSox_Sonix Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 USMNT roster for the next two WCQs just released. GK: Guzan Johnson Rimando Defense: Beltran Besler Cameron Gonzalez Goodson Morrow Midfield: Beasley Beckerman Bradley Corona Edu Jones Kljestan Shea Zusi Forwards: Altidore Boyd Dempsey Gomez Johnson Take another look at that backline again. 4 of them are going to be facing Costa Rica's forwards and then heading down to Azteca. Think about that. Scary s***. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LittleHurt05 Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 In general I don't recognize many USMNT names, but when I noticed that the entire backfield has a combined 12 WCQ caps, I knew they might be in trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenryan Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 Geez, if this team wasn't already wasn't questionable on the back line without the injuries... Well they better figure out a way to get 3 points vs Costa Rica because it'll be a moral victory if the US gives up 3 or less vs Mexico next week. If we are sitting with less than 3 points after Mexico then Jurgen might be doomed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think the ref was bad but he missed that call and called a foul on every free kick for us. And I thought sitting through the first WCQ in a driving rain in Tampa was bad.
