USMNT Friendly vs. Switzerland
These day time games suck!
Starting lineup
F: Altidore and Gyasi Zardes (?!?!?)
M:Bradley, Bedoya, Michael Williams and Alfredo Morales
D: John Brooks, Brek Shea, Michael Orozco and Tim Chandler
G: Rimando again (was hoping to see Yarborough at some point.
And as I write this goal off the free kick from Brek Shea 1-0 USA
Here's a link if you want to see it. Hell of a shot:

Thing of beauty. I wish Shea would of made the WC team last year. Hopefully he blows up the MLS now that he is back state side.
COULDA WOULDA SHOULDA USED CORRECT GRAMMAR
(+1)
At the half 1-0 USA
Alvarado replaces Orozco on D
Yarborough gets his USA debut replacing Rimando in goal.
Switzerland substitues four players.
Zardes just misses the header at the 49th minute
Why the hell do all these dudes from Switzerland have names that start with X?
How was Aron Jóhannsson the other day?
You score a goal you're good in my book. Too bad he got hurt and can't play today.
He scored the second goal but was largely invisable. He missed today with an infection.
That was INSANE. Did you know Shea could do that? I sure as hell didn't.
When was the last time any American was able to do that?
Jozy and Bradley has done it and it was much better looking than that!

Erik Wynalda @ 1:00.
That fans face is so priceless.
Great goal, better reaction.
Altidore just got shown his second yellow of the game and got the boot. US playing with 10 the rest of the way. About 20 minutes to go.
Thanks for the PBP. Keep it coming!
Actually, apparently he was sent off for cursing at the very thin skinned referee.
Yedlin subs in for Bedoya in the 77th minute. US still clinging to the one goal lead down a man.
Yedlin=2 people.
It was coming...loads of pressure even before Altidore was sent off.
The ball wasn't cleared off the free kick and Stocker pokes it in from two yards.
Another late goal. Switzerland ties 1-1
A late goal against?
Like death and taxes...
It's not a USA men's match unless they look inspired in the first half and leaky as H in the second.
what channel is this on? Dont see it on ESPN2 etc
and Unimas in Spanish I think
Cool beans.
Anyone catch the Turkey v Dutch game this weekend? Almost dropped their first home game in 15 years.
But I know they really squeaked out a draw...90th minute goal from Huntelaar saved them.
90+3 I think...and I'm not at all sure Huntelaar meant to redirect it as he did, but given his nose for goal I'll give him benefit of doubt. Crazy game

Jozy Altidore is sent off for swearing at the referee. #USMNT down to 10 men with 15 minutes to go on @FOXSports1. http://t.co/I2z3vPNxr9

Well yeah, as I understand it, yelling FU directly at a ref doesn't usually go over well.
DIdn't leave him much choice.
Still kind of a bullshit rule/practice.
End of game 1-1 tie
US holds on for a 1-1 draw despite being down a man for 20+ minutes. At least it's not a loss?
That's definitely NOT the Harbaugh spirit.
What game will Altidore have to sit out for drawing the red card?
