United lose to the scouse, Arsenal triumph in the NLD, and Bale joins RM for £83.5 million...
Hey Daniel,
I well be in Columbus with a couple kegs. Heading down with 8 guys, 4 of us homebrewers. We went to the Jamaica game last Sept, and it was rad. This one looks to be set to blow it out of the water.
Poor, deluded Gunners fans.
You will still suck doggy balls.
I love Ozil, but I don't think he's the biggest need at Arsenal, I think Ozil is a bigger need for Man U or someone like that. Arsenal's problem is similar to Tottenham, they have great midfielders but their striking situation blows. I think they would have been better trying to gun for a striker.
But at least they'll give Giroud plenty of chances to see what he's made of. But adding a guy like Ozil would have been a better move 2 years ago with RvP up top than it is now.
How bad was it? I woke up to see a 3-1 score line. I know we have never won down there but 3-1? What happened?
It's not what happened, it's what didn't happen. Specifically, defense. The flanks let Costa Rica do whatever they wanted all game.
Exactly. There was way too much space down the wings, especially the right side. In addition to that we had no midfield presence for most of the first half. The attack consisted of long balls over the top for Donovan to chase.
Part of me thinks that some of this is due to the team starting to believe the hype behind the streak. I think getting punched in the nose by Costa Rica might get our heads out of the clouds.
My prediction for the match against Mexico:
--------------Howard---------------
-Orozco--Goodson--Gonzo--Beasley-
----------Cameron------------------
----------------Jones--------------
-Zusi-------------------------Davis-
-------------Dempsey--------------
---------------Donovan------------
I thought Geoff Cameron was on a yellow card suspension?
I would swap Donovan & Dempsey.
Cameron, Besler, and Altidore were all yellow cards. Shame Bradley is hurt. For me the lineup almost has to be
RB - Evans (can't start the same fullbacks who got abused by Costa Rica)
CB - Goodson
CB - Gonzalez
LB - Beasley (would replace him if Jozy wasn't suspended)
CDM - Jones
CDM - Diserkud (though we'll be weak on the defensive portion with this pairing, he's our best central option JMO)
RM - Zusi
CAM - Donovan
LM - Johnson
ST - Dempsey
Evans isn't with the team, he picked up an injury and was ruled out a few days before CR. Parkhurst seems likely at RB.
I don't think we should go with LD and dempsey as the central attackers again. LD and Dempsey are both good as support strikers/attacking mid, but I think we need EJ or Johannson in there.
I would like the lineup to slide Johnson back to full back and have one of those 1 striking but I cannot imagine that happening
Dos a cero!
....AGAIN! I'm actually glad the PK was missed for that reason alone.

Draw in Honduras. US qualifies, Mexico has a shot at the 3 spot still.
But can't clinch even the 4 spot until the final game.
