    Reading the power rankings it seems to penalize us for the group we are in... Maybe that is why we are a bit lower than I'd hope/ expect. Not really a good reason IMO. Who we play doesn't make us worse, it may make us less likely to advance but not worse.

    It looked awesome on TV as well. A couple of comments about the outstanding support. I thought Chandler was okay, save whatever the hell happened in the 87' (ish) that led to the chance and goal. If he at least stayed to pressure the Turk, he wouldn't have been able to stand there with the ball...

    No Beasley! I don't like that Davis is starting, but for the most part agree with the starting XI. I hope Mix and Aron get some time (in Brazil) as well, but could be great off the bench. Today I am interested in seeing Green and Yedlin as well as Gonzalez (and his health), in addition to...

    That's what I am afraid of. Evans may also have a shot there though. I like Cameron starting. I liked him a bit more in the CDM role, as would like giving him the ability to trek forward a bit more. But Gonzalez has been pretty horrid, so this is good news for me. Also not sure what the tweet...

    Not surprised much. Landon was not going to start, his fitness has been lacking, and IMO never gel - ed with the guys who are starting. I think Zusi is a much better option and we have some other intriguing ones (Green, sliding Aron back etc. ). What I was surprised by is the inclusion of Mix...

    I liked Yedlin going forward last night. I want to see more from him in the next few friendlies. Gonzalez and Beckerman did not impress at all. Although I don't like it J. Jones may be the best option there (though I personally like G. Cameron). Landon should not start. Zusi brings a bit more...

    Speaking of Wondo goals... another tonight. We are looking good (not great), but Mexico certainly is not. I am still concerned with the back line (given we have just two starters (I think) on it, but still...)

    Thankfully the Phillies choked so hard core the game isn't going into extras and I can watch my boys!

    Thought on Julian Green? I hope we see him in extended time tomorrow, though I bet it is more of a cameo role for him. I think we have a good idea of what the other forwards (Dempsey, E. Johnson, Wondo) can give us, so I'd like to see what Green can do. Though, I guess we do need to make a...

    ND-Maryland NCAA soccer final tomorrow at 3pm outside of Philly. The two teams played to a 1-1 draw October 8th at ND. (Also did anyone know Matt Besler's brother starts at DM for ND?)

    I still see Cameron as a DM I guess. He has said that is his preferred position [both club and national], so I'd have liked to see him there again in a friendly to see how it works out. But you are probably right on Jones and Beasley. Jones does bring something, but is really frustrating to me...

    After sub-par matches vs. Scotland and Austria (admittedly not our best sides), who do you guys see in the starting XI and on the roster at the WC next summer? My thoughts: - Brek Shea is good... off the bench. His energy seems to be better coming off the bench rather than the whole match. It...

    As the one who started this mess: I am not mad we won. I am mad that we didn't play well. I am mad Mexico is in the WC. I would not have thrown the game. I play to win. Would Mexico being out of the WC be better than us winning an inconsequential game versus Panama? Yes. Would I throw the game...

    Arsenal got a steal with Ozil. How was Bale worth so much more? There is only one year different between the two.

    I have a chance to tour Anfield next week and was wondering if anyone has done it themselves? I'm not an Liverpool Fan, but was wondering if it would still be a cool experience. Thanks
