I’ll keep it short and simple. Trying out Adu And Altidore, and continuing to play Torres is no longer an option. The starters aren’t sharp/getting it done. Beasley needs to go somewhere else to get his act together, and Klejstan needs some training (as in, the ball is more imortant than style). Ridiculous about the name thing.

I think I read somewhere, I think of the epl talk site, that you’re from Florida? I am too.
Sorry if I come off as a stalker, I assure you I was not trying to do that.

I was confused there for a moment myself. One player who did disappear the other night was Michael Bradley. No not about it and it seems that most people have overlooked his poor performance. I am a`big supporter of the younger Bradley and believe he will be a fixture on the US team for years to come but Saturday night he was MIA.

I personally attended the US v. T&T game in the semi-final round in Chicago last fall. The teams have not changed much in that time and simply if the US does not dominate them on home soil there is something badly wrong.

I doubt that will happen and look forward to seeing the US in action in person in Chicago v. Honduras on June 6. The advance ticket sale is good for that game but there will be seats available in Soldiers Field, so I hope to see some of you from this board in the Windy City.

Very refreshing to find discussions and comments from people who understand the game and tactics. We’re in such a weird position here in the US. If we aim for results only, we may add a few clueless American fans, but will children look up to these players? Of we play 4-3-3 , then we see the full flowing attacking potential that will stop young Americans from buying Ronaldinho jerseys and start buying a “Donovan 10? jersey and have American footy heroes to look up to. But there is a very good medium. Find a balanced formation, hell what’s wrong with a 4-4-2 diamond midfield if Bob’s too incompetent to play anything else? To be honest, the worst thing about Bob is that he forces a rigid system that doesn’t fit our pool instead of adapting a system that fits the players. It’s quite depressing when fans, who watch all 90 minutes, can say that the performance was ok because we stole a point (or El Salvador handed it to us) when we couldn’t string three passes in a row. Then, we can’t play younger guys because “They don’t have experience, and the older guys keep there starting positions no matter how bad their club situation. It really is frustrating, because as I love supporting my country, I hate explaining to “fans” that while the result may have been adequate, the PERFORMANCE was disgusting. The quickest fix Bob could do is playing with two strikers. Seriously, if he thinks his son is such a good player (which he is, but to be honest, I’d still prefer Mastroeni if we had to play with a real D-mid) why doesn’t he pull Kljestan and give that consistent, but useless Ching a partner, say….JOZY FREAKING ALTIDORE.

P.S. My name is really Kartik, and I’m bookmarking your site, the articles are some of the top stuff.
