    So admittedly I don't NEARLY as much as you guys do about soccer. However, I'm really starting to get more and more back into it. I'm also becoming real interested in this US team. Question is, how should we approach this match? You almost dont wanna play all your starters because your risking injury, yet I'd also like to see our starting back four on D so that can get sorta set in stone for the England match. What do you guys think we should do, and how should we approach this?

    We'll approach it similar to the Turkey game, though I'd like guys such as Landon, Dempsey, and Jozy to play just for a half.

    i think the usa needs to throw caution to the wind and try to develop as much continuity as they can between their starters

    if they get injured they get injured

    theyre not talented enough to get by pussy footin

    Some small stadium that's being used as a training facility.

    U.S. probably has as much continuity amongst a majority of it's starters than many teams.

    Landon, Dempsey, Jozy, Bradley, Onyewu, Bocanegra, Cherundolo, Spector have been in the starting lineup a majority of the games the past 2-3 years, and guys like Beasley, Clark, Feilhaber, and Edu have played in their fair share of games.

    The game is definitely important for Onyewu and DeMerit, who starts next to Bradley and who we utilize as a striker next to Jozy.

    but they dont have the talent as the other major teams

    so they need to overcome that lack of talent with additional continuity

    I think it's in Roodeport. Australia played Denmark there today and I was able to watch some of it. Looks like some training ground in the middle of nowhere.

    I only set the alarm on weekends when I actually need to be out of the house, like a tee time or a function. If there's a TV program or something I say fuck it I'll catch it later or DVR.
