Deuce

What's that chant? "We are the humans! The mighty mighty humans!"

Clusterfuck right there.

He is what he is. Has grown by leaps and bounds at AZ, but the service he receives for the national team is consistently pitiful. And he's not a player to go out and make things happen on his own.

Those centennial kits are the best I've ever seen for this team. Wouldn't mind just keeping them for a few years, especially the LOGO.

Hope Milner scores the game winner for Brazil.

Fuck off, Neil.

http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_kEQijOuONfs/RrhLXOJBbKI/AAAAAAAAAtQ/c_bt--R49Vg/s320/shrug.gif I format it both ways tbh. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to suss out that it's flipped.

Aye, they're no San Marino, like.

You yanks are really backwards, aren't you? How so?

I'm a big fan of Castillo. He was the hero of that 1-0 victory in the Azteca last year. Solid defensively and can get up the field. If Fabian Johnson proves solid as solid at LM for us as he is with Hoffenheim, I'd feel really comfortable with a Castillo-Johnson combo on the left side. That's a fluid pairing.

Heading out to a beer fest in a few minutes, guess I'll be missing this match too. I'll console myself with some nice German beer instead.

He played well in the last game, tbf. It just seems weird. It's really weird. Feels like Beasley has been playing for 15 years. Guy's only 31 years old somehow

That Front 6 is about as strong as it gets for us. It'll be interesting to see how Evans fares at RB. He's a versatile player but mostly plays CM/RM for Seattle iirc. Really been playing well this season too.

Beasley has impressed there the past few games and he doesn't track back nearly as well as Fabian Johnson when playing LM. Plus Johnson has almost exclusively played LM for Hoffenheim over the past couple months. He does offer a lot going forward.

Altidore Dempsey F. Johnson G. Zusi Bradley Jones Beasley Evans Besler Gonzalez Howard Rather strong line-up for us.

U.S.: Howard; Evans, Besler, Gonzalez, Beasley; Bradley, Jones, F. Johnson, Zusi; Dempsey, Altidore Germany: ter Stegen; Howedes, Jansen, Mertesacker, L. Bender; Reinartz, Draxler, Schurrle, Podolski, S. Bender; Klose

Yakubu is pretty fat.

Low-scoring affair for sure.

No good. I've known too many Spaniards.

The standard commentating line-up they trot out for U.S. games is woeful. Lalas is complete crap, Twellman is obnoxious, and Cobi Jones seems clueless. Keller is the only one I really enjoy.

Doesn't Navas suffer from extreme homesickness? IIRC he's turned down opportunities to move to larger clubs in La Liga because of it.

One of the best strikers in the world. 8.8/10 wb.

Where is he a good fit? I mean, he could comfortably start for most squads, I'm just trying to think of likely destinations.

What are the odds of Gomez leaving Bayern? Doesn't seem to fit Pep's system and he'll be behind Lewandowski and Mandzukic.
