    US should at the very worst take 3rd. Good win over egypt and perhaps a point from either brazil or italy and who knows what might happen.

    Gotta believe it`ll be brazil-spain in the final though!!

    For anyone wishing to put a few quid on the next world cup however do not look past argentina or the netherlands!!!

    3-1 Brazil over Egypt, Egypt's not bad attack wise but their defense is a bit shit. To be fair Brazil's scored two pretty nice set piece goals but the first goal by Kaka was shitty defense.

    To be honest I could see us losing all three. I just can't seem to find any confidence about a Bob Bradley led team.

    I've decided to blame this on being the man down

    Of all people to score, dude who was born in the US and that thug.

    Bornstein is horrible. Feilhaber makes one nice pass and then looks like a rec league player, just don't call him into camp, he's god awful. Ricardo Clark is too stupid to be on a national team, last ever start for him hopefully.

    And Demarcus Beasley should find a job bagging groceries. Why was he brought on, he comes on and his one contribution is a pathetic cross that almost hit one of our guys in the back.

    The same Argentina that lost 6-1 to Bolivia? Not sure why anybody would pick them out of all the favouritues with the form they have been showing in qualification.

    Holland/Spain/England on the other hand....

    Bruce Arena never even tried to get Rossi to play for the US.....how good could we be with guys like Jones and Rossi playing with us from the get go

    Altidore, Rossi

    Adu, Jones, Donovan, Dempsey

    Cherundolo, Onyewu, Bocanegra, Spector

    Howard

    That's a lineup we SHOULD be able to do something with!


    Oh FYI, Kenny Cooper 4 caps for the US and 2 goals.....why can't he be on the squad?

    Well of course he can be on the squad but after calling up Conor Casey its clear that Bradley has no use for him.

    I think the addition of Jones could open things up a bit for Adu. He doesn't really play defense but with this lineup Adu could roam a bit and be almost solely an attacker. And we obviously need the creativity.

    Altidore

    Donovan Adu Dempsey

    Jones Bradley

    Spector/Boca Boca/Demerit Gooch Cherundolo/Spector

    Howard

    Conor Casey isn't better than Kenny Cooper...Kenny can win headers, we NEED that, our only guy who can win headers for us right now is Gooch, and he's not all that wonderful at it.

    I'm surprised Cooper isn't playing overseas yet

    I would go with this against Brazil

    Altidore

    Donovan Adu Dempsey

    Bradley Torres

    Boca Demerit Gooch Spector

    I just want Bornstein out. I've been reasonably impressed with Spector.

    Spector is a solid player! I think Maurice Edu needs some run before Torres.

    We have a good core group of young talent, but they have got to step it up!!!

    I also don't think any of our strikers are good enough to work up front alone...Altidore is good but he needs help.

    Yeah but who do we have over there that can help him? I'm not sure Casey helps that much, having Adu and Donovan in behind him might help more.

    The one thing I like about Torres more than Edu is he keeps possession better, is generally more skilled as far as touch, dribbling, passing, etc. Edu is clearly a better ball winner/destroyer type. But I thought Bradley did a pretty good job of that the other day. Thing is for Bradley to play Adu in a attacking mid type role he'd probably want Bradley and Edu in there to shore up the defense.
