    Maybe I am forgetting which game Cameron played in that CDM/ RB. Can't really remember now that I think about it. Anyway I like his distribution and balls in the final third. The problem with Johnson being on the other side is both push forward and it could expose a non-stellar back line.

    I think we really need someone up there with Jozy... though I agree something like this gets the most talent on the field. -----------Jozy--------------------- ----------------Dempsey----------- Landon---------------------------Zusi -------Bradley--------------------- -------------------G...

    Pessimistic Projection Thread!!!

    I'm sure [most] of you guys are familiar with things being broken down into quartiles. Sometimes you see computer simulations of the NCAA [or NFL] season which base projections based on 1000+ simulated seasons. So, with all of the Kool-Aid drinking going on I was thinking of getting a more...

    Yeah but it was a dumb foul... the ball wasn't really close to the player. At least we look pretty good going forward.

    So it will likely be: Spain vs. Italy and Brazil vs. Uruguay European game and a South American Game. I think it will be a Spain-Brazil final with Spain on top. Brazil is a bit too vulnerable in the back. Plus Spain... yikes they are good.

    Brazil scores. Fred makes it 4-2. Bummer, was hoping to see some drama at the end...hopefully Japan can pull even!

    Can't believe Mexico-Japan is tied 0-0 at the half. So many chances for both sides. I think Japan is being a bit too patient with the ball, especially when the ball is in the box. Looking for the extra pass a bit too much IMO, but Mexico hasn't made it easy with there numbers around the ball.

    I'm watching Mexico vs Japan and enjoying the game so far. Been flicking over to Italy-Brazil, how is that game going? Which are you guys watching/ would recommend?

    Interesting. Didn't know that. Pretty good move as it gives significance to both Gold Cups. I'm guessing if you win both there wouldn't be a playoff. Thanks for the info.

    Impressed with Japan. A really entertaining game; though I was rooting for the underdog Japan, I'll take Mexico being eliminated (I thought they played better today. More up-to-par anyway). Japan or Mexico being the weakest team in one group is crazy, though I guess Tahiti is the only weak team...

    I looked through some others player rating of last night past and noticed some big differences between different people ranking on guys like Besler and E. Johnson. So, I put this together to get a better picture (click to enlarge the picture, so it easier to read). Not surprising Altidore...

    I thought Zusi was great tonight. Most of our chances came through him. I would not bench him for Landon. If Landon wants to play take out Eddie Johnson (who played well), or leave out Landon. I thought Altidore played well. I was impressed with his finishing ability (which it seems he lost...

    I agree. We played real well vs. Panama. But, no offense to Panama, but they aren't a team that will make it out of the group stage at the WC. We need to beat and play even with teams that are really solid: Mexico, Argentina, France, etc. (IMO they aren't top 5 teams, but still could advance out...
