He was wearing number 4 for a while in late 2007 early 2008 so when i got my jersey that spring i got 4 but since then he has gone to 12(I know if Pablo plays he takes 4).

Come on LUyo. You can’t just pick one play and say “Well, if _________ hadn’t happened, then we’d be out.” Games hinge on dozens of plays, the reversal of any one could change outcomes. The table never lies.

if u look at how different our squad looks from the first game in qualifying after barbados to the squad we should have on wednesday more than half the players are different and the quality of the newer players is much higher

i think when we bring in a top class manager with better assistant coaches the player pool is good enough to do real damage in a world cup

were right on the edge of being a top class international team. the only thing were missing is a manager

A freak handball from being out of the World Cup?

HOW?!!!!!!

We’d just be in 4th.

Then we’d face a South American team. Maybe Argentina.

Never mind you’re right.

Et Tu Kartik?

Bradley is doing the best job possible?

Dude, we’re one freak handball against Honduras from being out of the World Cup.

Honestly, we have much better players than you think. But you are so latinized that guys with accented names impress you more than someone who may do an honest days work.

That’s why I take your analysis with a grain of salt when comparing Latin teams to Anglo ones.

We have much too much talent to be performing this way. We’re clearly the best in CONCACAF. Other than Guevara, Honduras has nobody and Mexico’s players are either really old like Franco and Blanco or too young like Vela and Dos Santos.

Franco wasn’t good enough for MLS and signed for some Argentine team, showing again how strong MLS is when compared with other leagues.

We have a better league than Mexico? Is that why MLS teams get b-slapped in the CCL every single year?

@trey
The mls better than mexican league? obviouly you don’t know what you’re talking about when it comes to world football. In the Americas the Brazilian, argentine, and Mexican leagues are the top three no questions asked. This coming from a brazilian-American who watches more mls than the brasileirao.

We need to start torres and call in castillo (so much better than bornstein going forward and can he be any worse than bornstein defensively?) to help us possessionwise. Though i’m not sure who’d come out for torres. Bradley the way he played today

No big deal. The USA will be in first place after Wednesday games. After Wednesday games the standings will look as follows.
USA 16 points
Mexico 15 points
Costa Rica 15 points
Honduras 13 points
El Salvador and Trinidad Tobago 5 points each.

Altidore was great! Why don’t they get the ball to Donovan more? Dempsey: he’s up, he’s down, he’s brilliant, he’s mud…sigh. Hope the ref gets punished.
