    Better question, why'd I put that in here instead of the MLS thread but Rootgers nailed it. I heard clubs had the choice of taking breaks then having double game weeks later in the season or playing through the breaks.

    No it's near my office so it was totally last second thing, I'm going to have some beers near Santa Clara University then take the free shuttle from Caltrain to Avaya which is like 7 minute shuttle ride

    So many players called up to NT with the rise of the MLS it will be interesting to see if the trend of playing through the break continues.

    NYCFC teams are missing 7 players. Some 6 and 5. I think basically every team at least one.

    Columbus is only missing 1. Portland 2, so that might be another reason some of those teams want to play through other than not losing a weekend date.

    So my tv schedule says Mexico starts at 850 and we start at 930 on the same channel. That seems doomed not work. Or am I missing something?

    FoxSportsGo says Mexico at 9:30, USA at 10:30, which still makes no sense.

    The rise of the MLS over the past handful of years has been huge for the second tier concacaf teams.

    I know this isn't technically must win but damn if it doesn't feel like it. At home against Honduras should result in 3 points.

    When I first saw the 4-4-2 I thought it was Lleget next to Bradley with Nagbe and Pulisic out wide

    Didn't expect to see Bruce put him at CAM already

    Rob Stone continually pronouncing it as "Bundishliga" is really aggravating me. Just when I thought I couldn't possibly hate Fox soccer coverage any more than I already do.

    Also he told me he is on a 1 year suspension from US Soccer by AO after USA/Mexico where he lost a good friend because of his actions with the Mexico fans.

    Never heard of someone getting banned and makes me wish I'd gotten to see what went down

    Had this conversation with a buddy today. No way Dempsey was going to sit but he doesn't have a role that works and just fucks up our lineup. Has to play as a second striker and we really can't afford to lose a midfielder
