ShiftyPowers said:Huh. I actually think the jersey looks like garbage.
ShiftyPowers said:Why is Josh Wolff on the team? That damn midget has never done one thing in his career to impress me, and NOTHING at the international level (and he's like 28 or something already, it's not going to happen!). Taylor Twellman couldn't do better than this? Seriously.
O'Brien played well. In fact, I think he might have been our best player in the first half. (Which, of course, falls into the category of "damning with faint praise.") He was taken off at halftime but that was the gameplan all along. I think O'Brien and Convey were the only players who helped their case last night.Jedi Mind Trick said:how did o'brien do? did he look like he'll be good to go?
$teauA said:Worst finishing I've ever seen.
BTW did anybody else notice how much our defense sucked once Gooch went off?

--------------------Keller-------------------
Cherundolo-----Pope-----Gooch--------Lewis
------------------Mastroeni-----------------
Beasley------------------------------Convey
------------------Donovan------------------
-------------Johnson----McBride------------
Pope and Gooch were great in the center of defense so I wouldn't mess that up. Gibbs was great on the left too but with Lewis there we can definitely attack better on that wing. Other than that stupid mistake at the end Cherundolo did a fine job at RB, would you rather see Albright . The midfield HAS to look like that and the Bruce needs to realize it NOW. Wolff needs to be kicked off the team and Johnson NEEDS to start. I've never seen him have a good game coming off the bench.
ShiftyPowers said:I think you're completely right, except I really like Deuce (can Convey play DM? He plays everywhere else) and I would prefer O'Brien over Mastroeni. Mastroeni is solid for sure, but he's just one of those guys that will never be a "next level" player. O'Brien, when on, is probably one of the four or five most talented players on the team. It's too bad he isn't still starting at Ajax.
$teauA said:I couldn't agree more. He f*cking sucks and he has a bitch face too.

While I agree that the defence was horrible, it sucked with Gooch in there as well, he was slow and committed some hard fouls near the penalty area. Gibbs should stay in the center along with Pope and Gooch coming off the bench.
SlayerDeuS said:Well looks like you'll get your wish. Corey Gibbs has been dropped because of a knee injury sustained against Morocco, replaced by Greg Berhalter (Tar Heel).
#1 Stunna said:Did anyone see on Sportscenter this morning their "all access" thing with USA? They showed when they told Bruce about Gibbs' injury... then they showed when he goes to talK to Gibbs about it. I felt bad for him, Gibbs couldnt even speak, he just had hs head buried in his arms.
