so howard is the captain tonight, with goodson and cameron in the middle. deuce is in there and so is gomez. this is an offensive lineup, with some change ups. jamaica will not be expecting this lineup
howard(c)
johnson goodson cameron parkhurst
beckerman edu
dempsey jones
gomez
altidore
How is this an offensive line-up? There are only three attacking players. THREE.
And no width to speak of, which means Altidore and Gomez will vacate the area by fanning wide if things aren't going well.
a little luck of the irish never hurt either.
Jurgen O'Klinsihan?
FABIAN JOHNSON is not an attacking player? greg........ greg...........greg.................
Unless their name is Maicon or Dani Alves, defenders are not attacking players. Forwards, wingers and playmakers are attacking players. Four is typically the number of attacking players in a side.
there are more empty seats than i would have thought in this stadium built, which was built in 1962.
this lineup is meant to control the middle of the pitch and to strike at goal, and to stop any long balls or ariel balls.

1 - Small problem with that: Jamaica's is meant to play wide.
2 - Still only three shooters out there.
Anybody got a live stream link for somebody working during the match?
usa over the years has scored early goals and then stagnated, it is an old trait. sometimes its not so good to score to early.
we are not seeing the concerted team effort, rather a bunch of individual runs and darts, and a couple of tricky flicks. team defense and understanding prevents jamaicas goal
its probably better that jam rock got that equalizer in the first half, klinsmann can make halftime adjustments, such as edu to the bench or the backline, and usa can exert some control on this game.
embarrassing
the only way you can have urgency is if you got heart, and usa did not have either tonight.
fellas, root hard for an a and b tie tonight,
as the realities set in, they run so deep. its like an abyss.
reality #1: and this is pressure, but should usa not get the full three points on tuesday, change might need to be made. a case could be made, if usa get only one point from the columbus game, but a loss and we are going to need to call bruce arena. and it almost does not seem fair.
reality #2: timmy chandler can never, ever be allowed to put on a usa jersey, ever again. im sorry, but if he is allowed to, that would be a death blow to the sport in our country. that might be over stating about the death blow, but not about chandler playing for our team.
reality #3: you cannot have debate, yet not come to a resolution, and still expect to advance the cause. whatever the fudge sticks it might be. this is an absolute and unequivocal fact.
these first two realities have some caviats, but the third one does not

anyone interested in hearing what reality #51 is?
No.
