Int. footy friendlie's...

We have a decent little American right-back at my team (sheffield wednesday) - Frank Simek.
Think he has a couple of caps, but has been ravaged by injuries the last two years.
Seen him at all Lyle, Mick?

[OumaFan]

Simek's ok, haven't seen him in a while.

I actually would have been more surprised by a US win really. Altidore is kind of meh IMO. Living on potential at the moment. Davies being out is just a massive loss for us.

Right now we are a team of POTENTIAL OumaFan, bar Donovan, Howard, Dempsey, and MAYBE Bocanegra...everyone on our team can POTENTIALLY be a very good player.

I'm surprised that Justin Mapp hasn't gotten any run on the national team, he is a pretty solid player. Sal Zizzo, although he's having a rough go of it in Europe should start to get some run as well.

If Beasley or Johnson had lived up to their potential we'd be doing wonderfully right now even given what happened with Davies. EJ and Davies would have been a phenomenal combo very quick...but Davies is hurt and his career might be over and EJ just lost his ability to put the ball away and I don't know what the hell happened with Beasley.

I still hope Freddy Adu turns it on, he's only 20 he can still improve but each passing year we're getting closer and closer to seeing all he can provide and he hasn't lived up to the hype....he's good, he'd be a lot better in the MLS though. Altidore is tops for us, first pure striker you can really depend on.
