8 days to the first qualifier.... Want to see how the backline plays tonight.
January 29th, 2013 at 9:08 PM ^
I'm really glad that Omar Gonzalez is getting the start tonight.
I usually root against San Jose Earthquakes and don't care for Wondo, but I'll put tha aside when he is playing for the USMNT.

It is basically a MLS All-Star team. Did guys like Gatt and Mixx report to the Jan. camp? I read that they got called up, but not sure if they had club conflicts.

Joy! I now feel better about the post-Cherundolo Right Back experience.
January 29th, 2013 at 9:26 PM ^
He said he is committed to us and this process of making 2014... so, that would lead to him being cap tied within the year.
January 29th, 2013 at 9:20 PM ^
Captie this man. Now.

Really hope Gonzalez can step up and grab that spot. Hard to believe that Boca will have the speed to play at the international level, particularly given the compressed schedule of the WC first round. If Gonzalez shows well here, I think Klinnsman starts working him in during qualifying.
US looks good, generally controlling play. Lots of crosses but haven't found anyone on the end yet.

Yeah, his twin brother is evil and gets lots of easy cheap goals.
January 29th, 2013 at 9:52 PM ^
Wow, this match is unbearable to watch, yet I can't turn away. Damn my obsessions with USMNT. Not one player has stood out and said "I deserve to be on this team".
January 29th, 2013 at 9:59 PM ^
I think we are playing okay. We aren't forcing it too much and keeping possesion. Quicker decison making on the ball would be nice, bit I expected this level of play from this squad.
Also Canada playing 10 back is going to mkaes it an ugly game.
January 29th, 2013 at 10:21 PM ^
I can see Canada playing the way they are in a qualifyer, but in a friendly? What's the point? What do they gain in the way of team development in a 0-0 tie?

Urban Meyer just got juco WR Corey Smith to commit. 4 star player on rivals.

Sorry, I don't have enough points to make a post.

This line-up seems like it was tailor-made for a draw. Lack of speed and creativity in the offensive third against a team that looks like it has no interest in leaving its own side of the field. I hope some changes come in the second half of this snooze-fest.

Unlike Kate Upton, that was unattractive.
January 29th, 2013 at 11:14 PM ^
We got a gift of a free kick attempt outside the box and ugh.
January 29th, 2013 at 11:58 PM ^
I think I will let fellow Canadian GSP sum up my feelings on the draw.

As a huge soccer fan and Canadian I have to say I can't even watch my country play soccer. They are beyond terrible and I thought the US would absolutely smoke them, whether they had their stars there or not. It is a friendly though, so I don't think there is much for the USA to worry about in terms of what this means for there chances at qualifying.

This is the equivilant of being myopic over the spring game. Canada is notorious for putting 11 behind the ball and we were playing a second string MLS all star team. None of those guys will see the field in Honduras.
