Thread: USA vs Honduras Tonight

I hope to hell the US can rebound from a poor showing vs Costa Rica and beat Honduras. If we can't win this match #1 we might not make the World Cup and #2 We'll definently need a coaching change

well at least we would get something positive out of a loss.

A coaching change Bob Bradley wasn't the greatest choice after Arena...he didn't make everyone jump up and say "We're contenders!" but he has been pretty good, I just think the leadership on our team is a big question mark we don't have Lalas or McBride anymore...Landon Donovan needs to step up and be our captain.

We need big efforts from our younger players like Altidore and Adu....I think Beasley can pretty much be cut off the team right now, he has been the biggest disappointment on the squad. I would love to see his roster spot filled by Kenny Cooper.

If we can't do better we need to go after a big name coach who can fire us up and get results and we don't need defense we need goals!!!

I actually liked the idea of Beasley playing left back but not sure its working right now, maybe should give him some time though.

Wynne pisses me off big time. Need Cherundolo back.

As far as Bradley, meh, I'm not necessarily thinking he should be fired right now but he doesn't exactly fill me with confidence.

good luck team US

If your struggling against the likes of honduras youve really no chance of getting past the 1st round in the world cup come 2010

Wynne is very speedy...I would like to see more of Maurice Edu, Benny Feilhaber, and Kenny Cooper. I think Michael Bradley, Freddy Adu, Jozy Altidore, et al are a very good group to build upon.

We won't struggle vs Honduras as we're playing in the US, but we have to look spectacular!

He does such stupid things with the ball though, not enough skill.

I tend to think this will not be our World Cup and we will be better off in 2014. Donovan, Dempsey and Onyewu will all be in their early 30's but still probably alright while the rest of the team will have grown up some. But who knows I was looking forward to the last World Cup and for the most part we laid an egg. Obviously a lot will depend on the draw. Assuming we make it. I've never really given serious thought to not making it.

This teams execution is killing me

What has happened to Demarcus Beasley? Horrible passing.

LOL right after I post that he takes a free kick and....kicks it out of bounds

either way a wins a win, I showed up right before the Bocanegra goal so I missed most of it.

Take away Honduras's early goal and the US dominated most of the game. Honduras had some good moments in the last 15 minutes. The US just had some really sloppy moments. Missed traps, missing passes. Lots of opportunities to score or at least put a shot on goal. I liked that they kept focused but they will need to play with fewer mistakes, better cohesion and the ability to finish better if they are going to play against top opponents

The US played a sloppy uninspired game....it was a very rough game and there were missed calls, like when a Honduran player made a headfirst tackle on Jozy Altidore in the box....that was a foul, that should have been a PK!

Clint Dempsey is not a midfielder, he's too slow and he just can't make those passes and he's not the guy OBVIOUSLY that you want controlling the ball in the middle of the field! He's a striker or a forward nothing else.

I liked how Ricardo Clarke played but Connor Casey?!?!?! What the fuck?!?!?! Why not let Torres play and if you're not going to use him, then pick up Kenny Cooper!!!! We shouldn't have to rely only on our backs to score off of our corner kicks!

The dude is 6'3-6'4 he controls the ball well, he's kind of quick for his size, and if the guys at Dallas FC around him were better he would have been picked up by a European team by now.

Dempsey's played well at midfield for Fulham. Maybe different systems.

To be fair Casey is leading MLS in goals but obviously Bradley doesn't see Cooper fitting in with how he plays for whatever reason.

When our only big guy for set pieces is Onyewu it doesn't help us out. All of the forwards we have used are 6'1 or shorter...I just think it would be to our advantage to give Cooper a shot.
