USA vs Costa Rica at Ticos tonight at 10:00 EST

How was that field FIFA approved Like playing on a driveway. The US sucked but playing there is like playing on the moon.

I don't get why Clint Dempsey seems to play so much better for Fulham than he does the national team.

[Memphis]

Maybe he has England syndrome?

I honestly think the astroturf hurt us in Tico's.

Freddy Adu just needs to get playing time...he's very talented but he can't help anyone unless he gets more playing time

[OumaFan]

You kind of have to build a system around Adu and I don't know that he's that good to deserve that. They won't play him as the attacking center mid in a 4-4-2 because they feel he's a defensive liability so its basically playing him as an attacking mid in a 4-5-1 which I don't really like because I don't like Altidore or Ching as a lone forward.

[El Kabong]

I think Adu on the left wing is perfect....the US seem to be going more for speed and I like that a lot.

I would also like to see Kenny Cooper get some action, he's 6'3 and could be great for our set pieces

I don't know why they took out Torres at halftime, at least he didn't seem to be trying to give the ball away.
