Cugalabanza Posted May 24, 2010 Posted May 24, 2010 Tuesday 5/25, 7:30pm ET. It’s streaming on ESPN3.com. Of course my internet provider (Earthlink) is not supported, so maybe I’ll try to find some other stream. I wish it was on regular ESPN. I'm really curious to see who is looking sharp for S.Africa.

Cugalabanza Posted May 25, 2010 Author Posted May 25, 2010 Injury concerns for USA... http://www.huffingtonpost.com/max-bergmann...u_b_587647.html Yes, the back line is far from set. Hopefully, we'll get lucky with at least two out the three of Onyewu, DeMerit and Bocanegra being ready to go in the middle. On the wings, I have no idea. Pearce, Spector, Bornstein...? All of these guys have flashed hot and cold in the past. Now’s the time for somebody to step up. Many of the national teams are having injury concerns. For top-level players, it’s a long grueling season of club play, cups, tournaments, plus national team duty. I do agree that Onyewu's recovery is more important than Charlie Davies'. I think that Jozy Altidore will be the #1 striker and he will get support from Edson Buddle and from Midfielders like Donovan and Dempsey and Holden moving forward. I still like Brian Ching as a substitute too. I really can’t wait for the WC to start. I definitely feel better about our chances this time than 4 years ago.

So it won't be on T.V then? If you find another stream let me know. Thanks
Cugalabanza Posted May 25, 2010 Author Posted May 25, 2010 So it won't be on T.V then? If you find another stream let me know. Thanks I don't have any bright ideas. I was just going to wait until tonight and try JustinTV or something else sketchy along those lines.

linksfiend Posted May 25, 2010 Posted May 25, 2010 Thanks gringo for the heads up and Levi for the update. I just got back from China (and caught up on Lost) so I totally would've missed this.

Looks like you have an official world class defender... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oguchi_Onyewu He plays for Milan though which I'm not sure if right now, is a good thing or a bad thing
Cugalabanza Posted May 25, 2010 Author Posted May 25, 2010 I guess tonight is the last chance to make an impression. Coach Bradley is set to announce the final 23 man WC roster tomorrow at 1pm, live on ESPN. If DeMarcus Beasley makes it, I'm boycotting the whole tournament.
LeviF Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 If DeMarcus Beasley makes it, I'm boycotting the whole tournament. I'm calling BS on that.
Cugalabanza Posted May 26, 2010 Author Posted May 26, 2010 I'm calling BS on that. Ha! Beasley looked ok tonight, but no way he gets a seat to S. Africa. Czechs 4 - USA 2 Is that terrible? No. All our top players got a free pass tonight. It does expose our embarrassing lack of depth, however. Here's what I hated... Bornstein.- Outclassed. Terrible. Onyewu – Not encouraging. If he makes the final 23, it's only for spot duty. A shame...take away the injury and he's our best defender. E. Johnson – Nope. Still lazy and uninspiring Meh... Pearce – Sometimes good, sometimes awful—he probably makes this squad--he wouldn't if we had better options. Klejstan – right on the bubble Rogers – right on the bubble Torres – didn't see enough to say...probably on the bubble I liked... Clarence Goodson – He looks ready to compete. Ching – I love Ching. Always shows good touch. I know he's 100% MLS, but I say he contributes in the WC. Holden – He's the next generation Donovan. Just imagine if he didn't break his ankle just a few weeks ago. He's a playmaker! Cherundolo – He'll do. He does seem to have good chemistry with Holden on the right side. He might start. Edu – He scored a goal and he can fill in in an emergency at center back. The bad news: His f-up led directly to the last goal. Gomez – He scored. I'll take it, even though he's lacking in international experience. Buddle – I see him as a quality offensive substitute. Big question mark... Benny Feilhaber – I didn't see any mention of him during the broadcast. I've always stuck up for him as having a potentially world class skill set, but more often than not he proves me wrong. I'm kind of hoping that Bradley held him out tonight because he's already earned his midfield spot.

McBeane Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 nice review. Pretty spot on. We will be missing Onyewu. And our defense was awful Who played GK? I missed the game and forgot to DVR it
Pete Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 Who played GK? I missed the game and forgot to DVR it Guzan. Howard, Donovan, Altidore, Dempsey and a few others took the night off
McBeane Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 Guzan. Howard, Donovan, Altidore, Dempsey and a few others took the night off That eases my worries a little then. Howard is among the elite in the world in the net, and is a field general that demands excellence of his defenders and knows how to organize them. I have studied him back when I was playing GK and he is in a class that few ever get to. He alone makes the defense enormously better.
