    I'm leaving - leaving - on that mid-day plane to Houston
    leaving on the mid-day plane.

    I'll ask someone in the family to Tivo the game so I can watch it later. And I will definitely avoid this site until finish watching it.

    The English broadcast will be on mun2 or SAP of telemundo. Directv and dish are both making mun2 available for free on that day.

    Looking forward to the game.

    Good opening post, Swoly. Very informative and I like the inclusion of the Hex Table.

    U.S. ROSTER BY POSITION Full Roster Click Here
    GOALKEEPERS (2): Brad Guzan (Aston Villa: 5/3 SO), Tim Howard (Everton FC: 11/7 SO)
    DEFENDERS (7): Carlos Bocanegra (Rennes: 21/3), Jonathan Bornstein (Chivas USA, 2/0), Steve Cherundolo (Hannover: 18/0), Jay DeMerit (Watford: 2/0), Chad Marshall (Columbus Crew: 0/0), Oguchi Onyewu (AC Milan: 16/1), Jonathan Spector (West Ham: 2/0)
    MIDFIELDERS (6): Michael Bradley (Borussia Mönchengladbach: 10/4), Ricardo Clark (Houston Dynamo: 5/0), Clint Dempsey (Fulham FC: 17/4), Benny Feilhaber (AGF Aarhus: 1/0), Stuart Holden (Houston Dynamo: 0/0), José Francisco Torres (Pachuca: 5/0)
    FORWARDS (5): Jozy Altidore (Villarreal: 8/5), Conor Casey (Colorado Rapids: 5/0), Brian Ching (Houston Dynamo: 15/6), Charlie Davies (FC Sochaux: 2/1), Landon Donovan (Los Angeles Galaxy: 30/11)

    Ching, Rico, and Holden were all called up from the Dynamo. I'm expecting the same starting lineup that we used against Spain, with Ching possibly starting for Davies.

    I really like Davies and Altidore up front together with Donavan and Dempsey serving from the midfield.

    ^

    I agree on the starting lineup. I don't understand the addition of Casey again. How much does the guy have to suck before they'll quit calling him in? At least they didn't call DMB in this time.

    I'm already off on Wednesday, babysitting my newborn. Couldn't be better timing.

    Anyone know if the game will be on ESPN360.com?

    I want to watch but I'll be stuck at work. I could always channelsurf, but well, I want a good stream :)

    Donovan and Dempsey don't really do much serving from the midfield in the US system. The US system involves the outside midfielders actually pinching in while the forwards push outwards.

    Guardado will be arriving to camp tonight. Blanco will be playing in tomorrow's game against our Dynamo. Despite Marquez's absence, Aguirre will not call a replacement for him.

    Has anyone seen the new usssoccer.com site? It sucks. It looks like other sites I've seen. They prefer pizzaz over content. Meh.

    BTW, how would it make you feel when even your president doesn't believe in you? :mad: I'd be pissed. Maybe that will fire up the players?
