USA vs Honduras Tonight

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.

Bocanegra and Dempsey are both very good at set pieces though.

I think Bradley doesn't like the fact that as big as he is Cooper plays more like a small guy. Ching's more of a target forward even though he's shorter. I don't know much about Casey, I only saw him play for about five minutes last night.
