Finally.

RE: The Klinsmann interview. Thanks. About 15 minutes in, JK talks about the lesson he learned from Wenger. A window on JK's decision to bring in some very young and inexperienced talent?

No Boateng? Was looking forward to seeing him get kicked in the shins.

Feeling bullish about the Catrachos chances now. They could "do" both Ecuador and the Swiss. Won't be pretty.

CIV next round? Looks likely, I'd still fancy them. A big, physical side is just the type to trip up Costa Rica. Love seeing a CONCACAF side doing well, but CIV will win I think.

...and Donovan is no backup for that position. Do you think that he should have included Eddie Johnson or Terence Boyd in the 23? Donovan couldn't play the Altidore role even if he was in the final squad.

oh ffs.

This morning I heard that Ronaldo is likely to be out as well. At least that's the rumor reported on the Guardian podcast. If true, we're sure to get stuffed well and true. Anyone think that JK will go 433, with Bedoya, Dempsey, and Zusi up top? (I don't see that we have any other hope.)

Whoa there! Lumping the Danes in with that group is a bit unfair--more than a bit unfair. They were very poor in the last qualifying campaign, but you're way off base to include the onetime European Champions and World Cup regulars in that group. Still smarting from 98 are we? I just looked at the team that finished 2nd or 3rd in their qualifying groups for UEFA I don't have any quarrel with Denmark. Bringing up the disaster in 1998 is cold, too, especially since we haven't managed a win on this stage since. I have my Danish inlaws in town. And I get to watch the World Cup to the subtle tones of spoken Danish. I sympathize with your pain. I hope you can sympathize with mine.

They should just fold OFC into AFC and make the minnows go through pre-qualifying. OFC is pointless. This. A tiered qualification-- like what CONCACAF does with the Caribbean islands.

Have they made El Hadji Diouf look class?

Ouch.

They're dicks. Didn't say shit but Well Done when Italy beat your boys. I'd be lording this victory if I was you like We really did look like fucking shit, tbh. I'm dead nervous about this Beasley thing. Neither Portugal nor Germany has the pace on the outside that Ghana does, and that's Beasley's biggest weakness. He'll be okay. But the whole...I'm gonna go forward....Oh shit am I still a defender? Lapse will be enough to open us up to punishment. I'm more concerned about how fucking shit Michael Bradley was. Dicked around for 85 minutes when he needed to step the fuck up. Bradley was really poor. But Jones was immense. Also, disappointed with Jóhannsson; he needs to do a better job of holding up the ball, running down the clock. Think/hope Bradley will shine vs. Portugal.

Imagine being pulled off for Shola.

yesssss

This english coverage sounds incredible. Sounds like they could use a little Twellman and Lalas.

Been pretty fortunate with the draw over the years. Had an easy group in 2010.

How soon will DeJong be available for fantasy league selection? Do they turn these things around pretty quickly? How much do you think he'll cost? (I've lost Remy until the 23rd.)
