Old Man Friedel to the rescue http://www.mlssoccer.com/news/article/2013/03/09/brad-friedel-offers-come-out-retirement-help-us-national-team-pinch

At least a bit of sanity.

What. Wetting the babys head is a common practice in Sunderland. Basically they take the new kid out to the match, then post game, after a predictable loss they pour a can of ace lager over its head. Makes complete sense. I'll go with this one.

What.

he's been awful from what I've seen. I was at the WBA game with a season ticket holder mate of mine. And Johnson was abysmal. Sessegnon, was very very good though. Sessegnon does seem a quality player. He was quite good last season as well.

Has Johnson been poor though? Thought he was doing quite well.

Robbie Earnshaw's got two quick goals for Toronto against SKC. Big win for Toronto if they can pull it off.

Edit: nevermind, I stalked you on the N-O group

Way to shit the bed Sunderland.

Clean sheets for Russell Martin and Seb Bassong are about all that's going for me today.

Jan Mucha

Shoot, might as well give the youngsters a shot. Gil, Cuevas, Rodriguez, Villarreal...come on down.

ULTRAAAASSS.

Jesus. Altidore Shea Gomez Corona Bradley Williams Johnson Chandler Bocanegra Cameron Guzan

Yeah Guzan will need to be on top form. He's got Costa Rica and Mexico.

I despise leap-forward.

Absolutely horrific challenge.

Tim Howard broke a couple bones in his back, will miss the next two WCQs. Guzan is 3-1-1 in qualifiers, though 2 of the wins are against Barbados.

I've got a full cast this week, but no RVP, Clichy, or Mata. Not sure if I should captain Michu (v. WBA), Benteke (v. Reading), Sissoko, or Bale.

I don't think it's bashing when you show concern to the lads poor defensive play, especially when you consider he is a defender. Call me old fashioned but i prefer my full back to be a good defender above all else, then you look for one who has good forward play too. This - absolutely.

Aye, the "big clubs" I don't give a fuck about in Europe, but I liked following how the likes of Birmingham and even Stoke did last season for example. To be honest, it'll be nice to see a team like Swansea playing in Europe next year. Have a feeling they might do quite well actually, the way they play is made for European competition.

Yup. Though if Cisse's out... Cabaye Tiote Sissoko Jonas HBA Gouffran

Between Krul, Elliot, and Alnwick, I'm more than satisfied with our depth at keeper.
