Our second team beat them 4-1 a few months ago :lol:

 

Forgot include the word proper before Euro, soz. ;)

 

That was like the third tier US team as well though IIRC.

It's not as funny when you put it like that though

:lol: Man, we're gonna win the fucking World Cup.

 

In 2022, we wrest it from Qatar, and go on to win. In 2032, it'll be discovered that US officials paid certain referees to fix matches, and that they bribed FIFA officials to vote for the US hosting it, but only enough to get 2nd place.

Stoke asked for Cameron to be left out because of injuries, would've really liked to have him for this. I don't get leaving Williams out though, I guess Morales and Beckerman are enough.

 

Beckerman will be getting call-ups until he literally can't run beyond a brisk trot.

 

Williams has to be the heir apparent to that base midfield position in the diamond, think he should be there. Especially curious he was left out considering he started both of these last two friendlies.

Think Brooks has probably locked down a starting CB spot, despite not looking great in these friendlies. Klinsmann seems to favor him. Wonder if he'll persist with Alvarado alongside him or opt for a more experienced Gonzalez or Besler (or Orozco). Fuck knows, it'll probably be a different pairing every game.
