I'm not gonna go into what I want to see cause I know he's gonna go with two holding mids in the center. Just no Josh Wolff please. If Donovan's back, go with him, Beasley, Dempsey, and Johnson in some kind of attacking mid/striker combination along with Bradley and Edu I guess as the two central mids.

I don't know a whole lot about Jaqua. I know he was in MLS last year, I just forget for who. Maybe Houston? If I remember correctly he's kind of a big guy so if we go with striker only it might be him.

Lyle, it looks like Altidore is going to Spain to play for Villareal. MLS apparently got ten million dollars for him.

And Donovan is out again.

That is really awesome for Jozy I think a lot of people in Europe will like that dude.



The US has played really well....sloppy at times but not sloppy enough for Spain to take advantage of it.....and no Donovan either!!!


Adu looked great before he got hurt....Dempsey is looking horrible....Johnson looks good though he had a PERFECT chance but couldn't finish!

Afraid Jonathon spector looks like he`ll be missing for you guys for a long old time.

WHUFC physios estimate he`ll be out for at least 6months and may not play again this year.

What with our luck with injurys this season i honestly cant say im surprised.

Will remember Jonny specs fondly for coming on last day of the prem season away at man utd when we had to win to stay in the league. 0-0 man u peppering our defence when anton gets a knock and jonny specs comes on to play at centre back a position he`d probably never played before.

1-0 WHUFC and spector had the game of his life!!!

[El Kabong]

That sucks about Spector...he's a good ballplayer.


The US just got tired at the end of the match today....too bad, we need to win away from home
