CONCACAF Gold Cup US National Team Burning Questions
Posted on 7/3/09 at 8:25 pm
Posted on 7/3/09 at 8:25 pm
How will this B-team of rising stars fare against the top talent of mediocre nations?
Will Kenny Cooper score double digit goals?
Can Freddy Adu break out and prove Bob Bradley he is ready for quality playing time?
Why isn't Jose Torres on this roster (probably Pachuca)?
Is Stuart Holden a potential World Cup call up?
How gay is Giuseppe Rossi?
Will Brian Ching score?
Can we beat Honduras/Mexico/Costa Uncle Rico with this squad?
+/- 5 goals for US versus Grenada?
DA COOP

Wouldn't bet on it, not even against teams like Grenada.

Bradley's reasoning for not playing Torres in the confed cup is due to his extreme schedule in the last year...which to me is complete BS and he's probably covering his arse, it may explain why he's not playing in the gold cup
my interest in watching is going to see Adu playing...I really want to see how far away he is or if he's worth watching at all

I'm curious to see how Cherundolo has progressed returning from injury. The right back battle between he and Spector will be an interesting one over the next year.
Most of the guys brought in really don't have much of a chance to contribute for the national team, but are being rewarded for hard work in MLS.
I'd like to see if Santino Quaranta is far enough removed from the crack pipe to contribute. He was really progressing in the run-up to WC '06 before falling off the wagon.
I think Goodson, Marshall and Conrad all have a chance to beat out Danny Califf as the third center back, and this tournament will be that audition.
And, as an FYI...
Ching has as many goals in qualifying as Donovan, Dempsey and Bradley... 4.

Anyone else watching El Sal / Costa Rica on the Messican station?
Pretty entertaining.
Canada / Jamaica was watchable as well.
My fiancee hates me!

it does.

On midfielder José Francisco Torres: BB: “José has had a very, very busy schedule with his club team and in discussions we felt that it was important that he have a little bit of a break before things start up again. When we look at all the different factors, certainly the idea that next summer, players will be coming right from their clubs into training camp that leads into the World Cup. You have to make very difficult decisions about whether a player can go a couple years without a break or there’s a need in some cases for a player to have a little bit of a break now before he begins an important stretch.

holding him out of this tourney...fine. Holding him out of the confed cup, I think he was off base.

there shouldn't be a competition between spector and cherundolo. spector is miles better and younger.
Posted on 7/4/09 at 12:48 am to LfcSU3520
yeah. i don't know why you'd put him on a plane to SA and let him rot.
Posted on 7/4/09 at 12:50 am to plaxico
especially in two games that were begging for us to keep possession
Posted on 7/4/09 at 1:27 am to LfcSU3520
What's the projected started lineup for tomorrow? Anyone have any kind of guess?
Posted on 7/4/09 at 1:32 am to LSUButt
I would attempt one but to be honest, I haven't heard of most of the MLS guys so I can't even try.

Posted on 7/4/09 at 1:40 am to hendersonshands

I thought it was at 8 oclock in the evening.

well I was under the impression it was 8 in the morning...then, I realized that it's in the US therefore the time difference isn't that much, and subsequently, that I'm a retard.
