I see the thinking behind a 3-5-2, we have at least three players who fit as a wing back, and about five or six centerbacks of similar quality, except for Jones. Allows us to have two strikers on the field and a midfield three, but it has to be executed right, which it wasn't. Not sure Jones is good enough either, in theory he should be as a the ball playing cb, but I have a lot of doubts. In terms of guys going back to MLS it's only certain cases that bother me. Like Deuce said, Dempsey's was a good move, but someone like Bradley going back in their prime has already hurt us. Altidore and Mix are weird cases, Jozy fucked himself over by choosing a club (and league) where he was never going to succeed, and by the sounds of it Mix didn't have many great offers in Europe, according to Klinsmann at least. Fortunately, it seems like our best young prospects are heading to Europe. Rubin and Flores are already there and a few of the U-17 kids are going soon. MLS is a decent place to start for most, I just hope they don't get coerced to stay once they're in their early 20's. We've already seen Luis Gil stagnate because he's in a side with one of the best players in the league at his position.

Yeah, let up two in the last half an hour or so. Pretty much lost all control of that match after an hour.

Three CB's!

Never doubted him

I don't understand Bobby Wood

Didn't watch, but glad UAE won. Thought they matched up well against Japan.

He's like an athletic Kevin Nolan. Can't believe he can jump so high at his age too, incredible.

fucking dicks scoring two

Going for four straight 1-0's

Definitely don't want a 'quick' decision. Would make too much sense to operate like a normal club.

Pronouncing foreign things correctly isn't exactly a British strong point.

Another nice goal for shit Bale

Probably the biggest signing the league has made in the past few years, hopefully more sub-30 Europeans to come.

Good one between Uzbekistan and Saudi Arabia, 2-1 Uzbekistan right now, winner goes on. And 3-1

Shame shit as the first one.

lmao

Christ, horrible all around on the backline and by Krul.

Aston Villa 0-1 Liverpool Burnley 2-0 Crystal Palace Leicester 1-2 Stoke QPR 0-2 Man Utd Spurs 2-1 Sunderland Swansea 0-2 Chelsea Newcastle 1-2 Southampton West Ham 2-0 Hull Man City 2-1 Arsenal Everton 1-1 West Brom

Haven't watched Japan and barely caught Australia but I'm guessing they've been the two most impressive teams. I like UAE a lot though, probably don't have enough in them to win it but who knows with that front four. Unfortunately they're pretty weak and awful in the air. China's results have been pretty impressive, not expecting it to last but look a decent unit at least.

Yeah, there's like three Abdulrahman's on UAE, so not sure how specify them.His assist for the first was perfect.

Hope someone in Europe signs Omar, could do a job in Holland or Portugal, maybe somewhere bigger even.

Love this UAE front four, a bunch of skinny, tricky dude's with great hair.

Didn't even get the stream going yet, took me like 10 minutes to realize someone had scored.

Justin Meram, was subbed on in their first game. He's been playing in MLS for a few seasons now, was on Univ. of Michigan's team with a someone I've played against (was in MLS, now plays in Thailand) a number of times. Both recently switched allegiances to Iraq and Lebanon since they'd never get in the US team.

I was going to say them or South Korea instead of Iraq but figured since I was going with three obscure footballing countries I had to complete the list with another. Also, someone from my home state is playing for Iraq.
