Confederations Cup

I say you move Dempsey up front....Clint is a good distributer of the ball and with Jozy at striker and Landon at CAM he'd have plenty of options to pass and he could also take some of his own chances. ALSO we could consider pairing Altidore and Adu up front....Freddy is creative as hell and he can put the ball away too, only we would give away a lot of size with Freddy not being much more than 5'8 or so.

I just think giving Kenny Cooper a shot even as a guy who can come off the bench late as we press and get corner kicks, is a wise idea.

The coaching and on the field play have been bad, we haven't attacked, we haven't controlled the pace, and we just haven't finished our chances.

I agree for the most part. Surprisingly enough I think we did two out of three fairly well for the first half against Italy, we just didn't finish chances.

I also think our guys need to get the fuck over playing in "hostile environments" I understand Tico's was astroturf but get the fuck over angry fans who throw stuff at you and shout at you!!! Boston goes into Yankee Stadium and they aren't affected by the stadium, The Florida Gators go to UGA and LSU and they don't cry and whine about it, UNC goes to Cameron In-Door Stadium and they don't care about rowdy fans....get over it!

The guys we need to use more: Adu, Cooper, Altidore, Feilhaber, Spector, Edu and this new kid Jones

The guys we need to use less: Mastreoni, Beasley, Ching, Davies, and Casey

This lineup is a joke. I wouldn't be surprised if we lost 5-0. Fire him now.

**OumaFan** · 06-18-2009 12:08 PM

haha Demarcus Beasley is the worst player ever. EVER.

Fire him now.

Anybody that complains about the red card is just missing the point.

Very disappointing...we never even got close to scoring until Benny got in.

Bob Bradley has done an OK job when you look at what he did right after Arena got canned, but recently the boys just haven't been playing for him.

I would call Klinnsman or Rafa or whoever right damn now! We NEED a coach, we need someone who can get more out of our players who are talented but just don't work together very well. We should be able to afford a top of the line coach and to be honest if a coach was able to turn US soccer around he'd be a God and be able to get any contract he would ever want in any division he could ever dream of.

I was always a fan of Beasley but that's it for him, its gotta be, at least for awhile. He's gotta go back and turn it around at the club level and then maybe we'll see.

Please Cherundolo get healthy. I don't care if Spector's not a left back, either he or Cherundolo is gonna have to move there so we can get those two guys on the field and Bornstein off.

I'd be absolutely shocked by Rafa, no way, unless there were more problems between him and the owners. I would like Gus Hiddink but he's with Russia. Klinsmann, anybody really, Bradley must go I don't care what happens against Egypt.
