God I effin hope so. FJ is probably our best LB but he is better suited to play out wide for us.

I'd love to see all the big names but just having them in town will be worth the time.

This x100! I'm still laughing.
This ref's in for an eventful 2nd half. Last thing you want is a desperate Mexican team thinking they can get away with some close ones.
"In April 2009, the U.S. identified 70 stadiums in 50 communities as possible venues for the tournament, with 58 confirming their interest.[13] The list of stadia was trimmed two months later to 38 existing venues, one scheduled for completion in 2010, and one proposed venue.[11] On August 20, 2009 the list was further trimmed down to 32 stadiums in 27 cities.[14] On January 12, 2010 the USA Bid Committee narrowed the 27 cities down to 18 as the official host cities for the United States' Bid for the 2018 or 2022 World Cup.[15]

Those 18 cities are: Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Indianapolis, Kansas City, Los Angeles, Miami, Nashville, New York City, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Diego, Seattle, Tampa and Washington, D.C. The 21 stadiums selected host NFL or NCAA American football games, with a capacity over 65,000 spectators. No soccer-specific stadium was selected, since none in the country has capacity for more than 30,000 spectators."

re: Yedlin to Liverpool rumor

As long as he is playing. It seems like European teams are buying US players low and hoping for a bargain. This time last year I was praying for overseas interest for any and all of our players...
with the WC over I am starting to prefer MLS.

Even though they aren't local I suggest watching a Portland or Seattle game if you can catch on on TV. Really great atmosphere and fan support in those two stadiums.


This x100000!!!!
Most involved fans of any team in American sports. Also, DC, Columbus, Houston, KC and NY are all good choices.

re: Should Yedlin start?

Posted by tripleLindy on 6/26/14 at 1:52 pm to
He can defend at the international level... he just isn't the the end to end option that we need. I think his skill set is being utilized perfectly right now.
I have been in the JJ is (insert any negative adjective) camp for a while. But I thought he played fairly well against Turkey. Seems like he is putting a real effort into being a CDM only and letting MB move into a more offensive position. Probably would have helped if Chandler had kept a little more width while tracking back.

Donavan belongs in a different thread. Cameron is not a RB in our 2014 World Cup roster and Chandler seems to have locked down the starting LB spot... Which means Yedlin is our Beasley on the right. He had a terrible first pass that wasn't nearly as crucial of a mistake as leaving Zusi to chase down a quick counter.
I would say 40% we do. I will have a much better feeling either way after we play Nigeria. Obviously Germany is a different kind of animal... but we always seem to play up to the big international teams.
Can't say I remember Yedlin doing anything that stood out in a negative manner. I actually felt like his defensive play was pretty spot on... he does seem kind of forced when making passes though.

I really hope Turkey and Nigeria try and attack... watching us try to break down a bunker defense is about as boring as soccer gets.

Sorry about that. It's fixed now.

So about those '94 jerseys

Posted by tripleLindy on 5/20/14 at 11:37 am
I know there have been a handful of threads about the current WC kits... as well as the '94 denim kit worn by the US. This is a pretty neat article that details how and why the kit came to be. Plus there are a few pictures that are very TD Soccer Board-esk!!!!

DENIM!!!

Saying that's irrelevant is absurd. Of course it's relevant. We can't afford for a midfielder to have a 60% pass completion rate. But you're totally right about Cameron not being able to complete a forward pass.


JJ would have most likely put that pass into the third row behind goal. He just seems to fall I love with trying to pick out a wing 40 yards down away...which is not a bad option once maybe twice a game.

It's at 45 on Rotten Tomatoes right now. The reviews make it sound like a lot of flash and bang, with little to offer in plot and character development.

They are literally setting the streets ablaze and battling the police. I don't see how they can actually play this game in the Ukraine.
