OT: USMNT v. Brazil, 8:00pm EDT tonight!
Huge game for the Yanks as we take on Brazil tonight from FedEx Field, outside of DC. This game is the second-to-last tune-up before the World Cup qualifiers begin in earnest. After a demolition of Scotland on Saturday, the Americans appear to be comfortable in Klinsmann's system and are able to score, but the defense will truly be tested against superpower Brazil and their unmatched passing and individual technical skills.
Game is on ESPN2 and stream on ESPN3.
He is actually very technical and very good on the ball. He probably has the best vision on the team. Ideally he likes to sit further back than where he is playing tonight.
I agree about his vision and his technical ability. I just don't think he's dealt well with the high pressure that Brasil is bringing. He's not hurting the US, he just hasn't done much. Maybe "doesn't belong on the same field" was harsh.
Gooch getting some cat calls and boos. This is sad.
WOO!
Goal US. Bradley-Johnson-Gomez finishes. Very well and quickly worked.
Nice goal -- huge confidence builder. We have a lot of chances -- need to convert.
Great, great pass from Bradley on that goal.
Marcelo is an amazing player but such an asshole.
Very very true. He is the new bad boy of Brazilian soccer.
Gooch has been the culprit for each Brazilian goal.
I would be surprised to see him in WQ qualifying. I think JK really wants to see if he can play at a high level still for 90 min.
Jones really cleared Neymar out.
Donovan's been very poor by his standard tonight.

Does he slur more than your average guy on TV?
Brazilian GK is quite the stud.
