So how bad of a hell hole is this stadium?

They had a disaster in the 1990s when 83 people were killed by a crush situation similar to Hillsborough. Here is the story from NYT.

What did Ruiz do to piss Clark off so much?


General cuntishness, and then on the free kick, Clark is on the ground first, and Ruiz makes sure to drag his foot across Clark as he falls as well.

Ok, I've probably missed something but I have to ask. I know Torres is playing well, but why is Shea not playing? I love that dude...if he plays more it'll be on the verge of a mancrush

I almost feel like we should play a 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1 with a team like this. Sitting with two deep CMs would force them to extend downfield and give the strikers more openings. Also, Dempsey is perfect for that SS role behind Jozy or Gomez. It would look something like this:

----------------Altidore-------------
---------Dempsey------------------
Corona------------------Donovan
----------Jones-Bradley----------
Bocanegra--------Cherundolo
-------Cameron-Goodson------
---------------Howard---------------

This game just gives me a bad bad feelings. We have some injuries at LB, Carlos Ruiz is the scum of the earth, Guatemala's players are just terrible humans, and last but not least Guatemala's stadium and field are awful.

I'm pumped about this game now.

Last year we hosted Guatemala for the CONACAFF (i think) games in DC. I've never seen a stadium in ruin after their fans left. shite knocked over all over the place.

I heard that they lit two cars on fire in the parking lot during the celebration of their win.

Why do I have the feeling that Onyewu will start?

If Fab and Torres is a no go. I could see


Dolo - Onyewu - Goodson - Boca

if both are a no show.

I think I'll take Dolo - Goodson - Cameron - Boca

I'll be honest, if Jermaine Jones channels his inner Ricardo Clark and goes HAM on Ruiz, I won't mind
