Mastroeni is better. Even as a Fire fan I must admit it. Mastroeni is faster and bigger than Armas. In skill they are about equal. The only thing Armas has over Mastroeni is experience.

It's on FSW, they didn't have the rights to show it until a few days ago so that is why it probably isn't listed. Don't worry about it though.

Yes I just recieved an e-mail yesterday from ussoccer.com saying that FSW would be televising the game.

The US is best when it attacks.

I say 2-1, US wins.

I definitly agree with u elder, but unless it's mexico, we never play attacking football.

You know, I think you are right! Except the US attacked just about the whole game against Germany in the WC and came away with nothing.

I just wish the US would use what it has. We have always had a good defense, a very good one in fact, so it's time to start lettting the young guys loose going forward. I know there are plenty of golas in this team. They are fast, have decent ball skills, but most of the time lack the finishing touch.

I still say 2-1. But this could be a goal fest. Honduras has been one of the more exciting teams to come out of CONCACAF in the last few years.

I hate this "mr. hollywood" commentator... the voice alone is horrid and whenever the other guy mentions something spanish... he acts like he's never heard of the language before. "wow! are we paying you double for the sap broadcast!".... :kader:

may look silly, but could work.

Well, I had the formation just about right. Just not with the right players. Missed Gibbs, Convey, Mathis and Donovan.

Two world class strikes from McBride. What a rocket on the second one.

Is it just me or does the US team look damn smooth in their play nowadays? They don't ever looked worried or hustled anymore and pass theball around like anytop class team in the world.
 
I really wish Honduras had brought their European-based players to make this game a little more interesting. Beasley, Reyna, Casey missed easy scoring opportunities and could have made it 5-0 at this point.

Great great great first half of football by the USA they just dominated Honduras in every category and McBride (H) :rockman: :rockman: :rockman: that man is just class the second goal was brilliant. I hope Donovan plays better in the second half he had small sparks in the first half but he didn't show his true class. Casey is just great I love that man the passes were great and he should of scored on that pass from Donovan but it's OK. Refs are very good so far cept for this one call on Sanneh that didn't make ne sense to me but the red was definitely a red what the hell is Guevara thinking doing stuff like that in a friendly :rolleyes:. I hope we score 2 or 3 more in the second half :rockman:

sorry, but this was too classy...

anyway 4-0... tbh, we still need to work on finishing. besides mcbride and mathis (who didnt even play) we dont have any really world class finishers. this game should have been like... a million to nothing

agreed, beasley had a break out in the first half but for some reason just stopped and let the defender catch up, then a few brilliant passes inside the box went high in the second half.
 
Howard - NR (I don't think he had a save to make)

Vanney - 7.5 (nice crosses)
Bocanegra - 7 (defended well, didn't have much to do)
Sanneh - 7.5 (defended well, nice goal)
Cherundolo - 8.5 (probably his best game ever in a US nat jersey)

Armas - 7 (see Bocanegra)
Reyna - 8.5 (nice passes, great service on free kicks and corners)
Donovan - 7.5 (a few good runs and passes but not a commanding performance)
Beasley - 7 (played well, nice defense)

Casey - 8 (nice passing)
McBride - 8.5 (world-class finishing)

Convey - 6.5 (didn't really do much in the second half)
Mastroeni - 7 (see Armas)
Lewis - 8 (nice dribbling, scored goal)

Good win for the USA but I was pissed to see that they slowed down in the second half I mean why it's a friendly game you're supposed to test your skills not sit back on a 2-0 lead. They realized though and started attacking again and it payed off, it should of been way more than 4-0 but whatever we better finish better against Grenada and put at least 5 goals past them at Crew Stadium.
