USA-Netherlands friendly

[El Kabong]

Altidore should be untouchable, he's one of the few offensive threats we have.

I would like to see Torres get some run.

Bradley is good and everything but he does deserve to have some run. I don't think he has enough skill on the ball to earn play over some other guys.

If we run a flat 4-4-2 maybe we could see Holden and Bradley...that could work pretty nice and could really help our attack. We could always sub in Edu, Clarke, or someone more defensive minded in after we go up a few goals.

I am making plans to watch the game and I'm hoping we don't get a red card...we don't need that.

must be the 1st world cup in years where nobody is really talking up the dutch instead concentrating on the likes of brazil/spain/italy

These friendlys really are nothing but a good day out for those in attendants getting to see world class footballers going about as they would in a training session.

England-Egypt for us tonight. 90,000 fans get to see a nice little performance, a few quality goals and everybody goes home happy!!

good lord Findley looks like he'd have trouble making a high school team, just dreadful, but its early and this is a big step up so he might just be nervous. Jozy's looked all right and Holden's got something there, he should be one of our starting 11 most of the time.

Meanwhile, guys that shouldn't sniff our national team: Bocanegraa (ha he's our captain, fuck) and Bornstein. And maybe Findley. I guess there's nobody to replace Bocanegra at the moment.

Bradley looks pretty awful too, not that it matters.

[OumaFan]

De Jong takes out Holden, Holden injured has to be subbed out, and not even a yellow. Fuck off. Guaranteed straight red if its us playing in a major international tournament.

[OumaFan]

And they gave Torres a card for arguing about that cunt De Jong not getting a card, bahaha.

[OumaFan]

And now down 1-0 on a fucking idiotic PK given up by Bornstein, a hilarious dive by Schneider who's apparently working on that aspect of his game, but it still was a penalty.

[OumaFan]

Jonathan Bornstein is one of the worst players I've ever seen on a national team. EVER. Ha, that should be two PK's on him. I don't get it. Pick somebody up off the street.

The one bright spot was Holden and he was taken out by a stupid tackle.
