Gave about 2+ minutes extra for no reason. After the time added had elapsed.

The sub and corner caused that.

Question for you guys that follow this a lot closer than me. For the game on Feb. 29th against Italy will Howard, Donovan and Dempsey be called in? Will it be the first time Donovan and Dempsey are on the same pitch under Klins?

I'd pay money to watch Carlos Ruiz and Blas Perez get in a fiery, head on collision.

I don't think it's an international week.

I'm pretty sure there was one game with both?

And I would assume so, I think that's an actual international break?

I'm sure that both will be called in. If they are both on the pitch at the same time, then yes. It'll be the first time.

I expect a full A squad roster from Klinsmann. WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO BROTHER WHEN BECKERMANIA RUNS WILD ON YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU




ETA: Are you sure thats not an intl break ?

ETA2: Against Slovenia, Landon Donovan backed out bc of the MLS Cup.

No, I'm not. But looking at the EPL fixture list, it doesn't seem to fit, unless I'm reading it wrong.

Zusi is another center mid playing out wide for Klinsmann. I'd like to see him in his natural CAM position. He's trying to move centrally during the games, but it just winds up crowding out Jones and Clark.

2 defensive mids, Ricardo Clark, and squeaking by a CONCACAF side?

OMG! FIRE BUNKER BOB!

I think Jurgen was introduced to what road qualifiers in CONCACAF will be like.

Diving, dirty tackles, shitty and biased refereeing, American red cards.

He adjusted pretty well tactically, IMO.

Red card for Cameron after little contact and a massive flop.

Jones likes shooting from long range. Wondo should have scored on a rebound after one of those long shots.

Rimando is insane enough to be an above average goalie.

Ref didn't want to blow for full time.

It would have been awesome to have Jones fit for the WC.

To note: Wondo was very unlucky he didn't get the goal. He didn't blow an opportunity. He wasn't at fault for missing the shot. Just a hell of a save.


Jermaine Jones = Spark plug, all over the field but often tried to do to much. He was def. a class above everyone else.

Brek Shea = Tired. He probably had one of his worst games in a USMNT shirt. Looked really bad, last night. With getting to be in every call up with Klinsmann, Arsenal training for 2 months, end of the MLS season. I think he needs some rest.

AJ DeLaGarza = Played right back and failed. He doesn't normally play right back but he was caught out of position all night and Panama walked down that side all game long.

Graham Zusi = Out of his natural position. Out of position a good bit, but last night he didn't play defense with DeLaGarza on the right wing. Exploited all night long. Good goal. Great position off the cross.

Zach Lloyd = Our best defender of the night. Until he got hurt. He was burnt on the wing a few times but he made some decent crosses and got into the offensive game plan.

Parkhurst/Cameron = I don't think that they played that well at all. We are lucky that Panama couldn't finish. Panama could have won this game. Perez destroyed our CB tandem with his physicality. Perez had a header just barely wide, and a sitter that he pushed wide.

Ricardo Clark = Was good in defense but not so much in coming up and helping in the attacking. I think he was a top 3 player for us during the match tho.

CJ Sapong = I want to see this kid paired up and play for more than 10 minutes. I think he has a lot of potential.



ETA: Here are the highlights
