***USMNT Thread***

So when does Bradley get the armband?

 

Liga MX is still North America

 

Fuck Liga MX

 

Yes, its from the Dempsey article above.

 

Yeah really you're right, my mind just immediately went to USMNT

 

3 games for Dempsey

 

Pffff...lmao

 

Posted it in the Summer transfer thread, but thought it might belong here as well...

Happy 5th Anniversary to this magical moment

 

I still remember sitting in a meeting, secretly streaming it, and giving a visible fist pump when it went in.

No explanation needed because

 

best day off I've ever taken.

 

Was at an American pub in London. A middle-aged British man headbutted me after the goal. No fucks given.

 

Gold Cup roster being announced today

 

I dvr'd it as no one in my vicinity at work is a soccer fan. Naturally the women who keep news widgets on their computers decided to announce and discuss what had just transpired.

edit: now they are 'yelling' from desk to desk about Dick Van Patten dying.

 

My boss was off so I couldn't be. Worked at a bank branch and was listening on the radio in the drive thru and start yelling and high fiving with another guy

Fucking Wondo, just never ends with that one

 

Goddammit Wondo

 

Wondo over Morris. Boooooooo.

 

Son of a fucking bitch

 

so no

Agudelo
Besler
Beasley
Brek
Jordan Morris

 

Looks like Beslers time with the national team ended when he called out Jurgen in Febuary.

 

Fabian listed as a defender

 

gonna take a stab at an opening lineup -

-----------------Guzan-------------------
Fab----Brooks----Alvarado---Chandler
---------------Beckerman---------------
--Bedoya------------------------Mix-----
----------------Bradley------------------
----------Clint/AJ------Jozy-------------

 

Surprised Brek got left off for Brad Evans

 

Can we please leave Wondo on the tarmac and sneak Morris onto the plane?

 

Gold Cup is full of crap teams, have no issue with Wondo playing against minnows and getting bounced when it matters.

 

I didn't Cork

def expect it to be used

 

My feelings exactly.

 

is someone going to start a Gold Cup thread so TMB canadians, mexicans, hondurans, jamaicans can join in?

 

This except I'd rather see Yedlin or Zardes on the wing over Mix. Really hope Garza can get healthy so we can play him at LB and Fabian at LM

 

Who would y'all switch out?

Anyone/Jordan Morris/Bobby Wood for Wondo?
Brek for?
___ for Brad Davis?
___ Brad Evans?

 

Let's just hope that with all the broadcast rights Fox can get better.

 

I'm just disappointed to see no Bobby Wood the savior.

 

I think we would all like to see Yedlin in there (there's some Zardes hate so maybe not all on him) but I think for what we expect to see that's pretty spot on

 

But actually...since Timmy can play either, you'd think reserve fullback could be either.

 

I think I saw something on Twitter about a leg injury. Nothing major, but enough to hold him out of training.

 

I thought the defense seemed weird, can't put my finger on it other than Brek not being there.

Wondo being in there above Morris/Agudelo/Wood is a fucking crime against humanity.

Damn you Jurgen, why do you make it so hard for me to love you?!?

 

Why no julien??

 

Morris isn't even a professional and he's already done the Toulon and Euro friendly grind in the span of several weeks. Jurg probably thinks it makes sense to shelve him for a bit, and hell, maybe Morris himself is concerned about returning to school.

Wood has to figure his club shit out.

 

club situation

 

@landondonovan I have to admit, I'm pretty disappointed I didn't get named to the @ussoccer Gold Cup squad.
