February 9, 201115 yr Author Moved the record with our second straight win 3-2-1. 3-0 win. I even allowed my best striker to play for the 8th grade along with one of my backs. Tournament starts Thursday.
February 11, 201115 yr Author Added another win tonight. Sixth straight shut out. I changed my formation to a 3-3-4, adding another striker. My defense is just amazing.
February 16, 201115 yr LOL at Gattuso. What an idiot. Only 2nd to Berlusconi in Italy ATM mind you. Saw this article, quite an interesting logic for those who want to pick a Premier League team to go for. As a West Ham fan, the Seahawks pick is interesting, although I would have gone with a more hapless team in a bigger market myself. http://www.thepostgame.com/commentary/2011...orts-franchises
April 20, 201114 yr Anyone watching this Copa del Rey final?!?!?? It is going into extra time. 0-0, Barca vs Real, pure football bliss.
April 27, 201114 yr Messi saves the Champs League semi with a pair of goals, the second of which was absolutely mind blowing.
May 23, 201114 yr USA names Gold Cup squad Pretty good roster but didn't want to see Kljestan again. Spot should have gone to Torres or Diskerrud. Also Wondolowski up front was surprising. Would rather have seen Davies or Bunbury. Winner secures spot in 2013 Confed Cup so results matter unlike in 2009. Interesting to see if Bradley decides to use Agudelo up front at all with Jozy. He generally shies away from the 2 striker set but with they could work well off each other.
May 23, 201114 yr Agree on Kljestan, but I don't think he's too important. I think Diskerud and Bedoya both were left off because they are in season and Bradley seems to try to avoid club conflicts as much as possible. Torres didn't have a great season so I think that's why he didn't make it. It's an in-form side, or at least relatively so. Hopefully guys like Bradley and Altidore can have a good tournament. They need it.
May 24, 201114 yr QUOTE (Buehrle>Wood @ May 23, 2011 -> 06:12 PM) Adu? Really? Keep in mind he's still only 21. There were other players I would have taken in the midfield over him but as Dan said, there might have been reasons. Freddy's had a good spell at his most recent club and it's still better to give someone like him a shot over someone like Beasley who is probably done with the MNT, at least as far as WC2014 is concerned.
May 24, 201114 yr I dont mind giving Adu another shot here. Let him get some minutes against Panama and Guadeloupe and see what he can do. Bradley also might be seeing this as an investment. If Adu can play well this tournament, it might get the attention of some other lower level European teams so he wont have such a hard time finding a club for next fall.

I think Benfica still owns his rights...they just keep loaning him out every year. He just needs to play somewhere on a consistent basis. He's young enough where he could still develop some but his time and chances are running out.

May 28, 201114 yr Wow, wasn't expecting to see FOX televising the Uefa champions league final. They have an hour pregame show too. Even playing the FOX football sunday music. Strange but it looks good. Going to be a great final!
May 28, 201114 yr QUOTE (Melissa1334 @ May 28, 2011 -> 01:13 PM) 1-0 barcelona , inevitable edit:1-1 make that 3 1 and this game is ova!

Even playing the FOX football sunday music. Strange but it looks good. Going to be a great final! Fox actually had the game last year too, although I believe that was the first time they had it. Barcelona was just scary today, the score really doesn't indicate the level of domination. Even with Rooney scoring that nice goal to get the game to halftime even, it didn't feel like Manchester United had much of a shot. I understand this isn't the best Manchester United squad ever (and it wasn't the best Premier League ever this year either), but they still won their semifinal 6-1 aggregate and their league by 9 points. Yet, Barcelona appeared to be toying with them for large parts of the game today. As outstanding as Real Madrid also is, I'm rather amazed they managed to beat Barca in the Copa del Rey Final.

May 29, 201114 yr This Barcelona team is probably the best club team I've seen in my lifetime. They just wear you down with their passing and constant possesion.
June 1, 201114 yr The scary part is that Barcelona is basically the Spanish National Team without obviously Messi, they are gonna be even harder to beat in the next WC as long as they stay healthy, IMO.

They aren't the youngest team in the world though and three years can make a big difference on health, especially since some of them are already having issues (I'm looking at you Fernando Torres). It's a long ways off, but Brazil and Argentina are going to be awfully difficult to beat in 2014

June 5, 201114 yr Umm yeah so that was brutal. Kljestan continues to drive me crazy every time he appears for the Nats. Bradley didn't sent out a top tier lineup, but it's probably not good to receive a butt whooping right before a tournament.
