Lulz.

I strongly suggest you watch goals 4,5 and 6.

Go ahead and show me a US forward that can outrun a guy to the far post for a goal, then juke a guy with a change of pace at the 18 for a goal, then finish left-footed from the 18.

Then show me one that can do all three in the same game.

I'll hang up and listen.

I'll take it as well. In the right system he can be very good.

Also, when was the last time Jozy Altidore did This?



Seattle's back line isn't world beaters. If Juan Agudelo did something like this in the EPL/Bundesliga/La Liga. Then I'd say it was a great goal. However, it's just merely something that a good striker should do.


Jozy is still our best striker and most experienced. He just needs some help up front. he can't do everything himself. We were really in a bad need during the World Cup.

Lolwut?

If by "6-1 rout of Cuba" you mean "the second game of the hex against T&T, after we'd just dropped points on the road in game 1 against a much lesser El Salvador", then yes, that's exactly what I mean.

You're obviously out of your depth, son. And quite frankly, it's embarrassing.

First of all, the correct answer is Wondolowski.

Second, the love for Juan on here is fun and he's good, but guys, chill the frick out. He's 18. He didn't even start for NYRB last year until the playoffs when they had some injuries up top. Jozy has scored in big games for us. He's top dog right now.

Actually, Dempsey is when he's up top, but yeah.

Oh, and frick Jonny Evans.

Papa Franken-coop looked like a lumbering monstrosity in the second half of that game. Then again, so did most of his teammates.

He's listed as a mid in the fantasy game. You get more points for MF goals than FWD goals.

Donovan is listed a FWD, even though he actually plays MF.

Wondo went the pick before me in the 1st round.

If he repeats his performance from last year, you'll wreck shop.

No kidding. They've looked downright scary for us Sounders fans the first two matches.

Of course they do. But, that was a wall fail. Almost as bad as the Olympics when the US allowed Holland to tie it up. That goal should have never happened. Reality is that Kenny Cooper will never play for the US in the World Cup.

Robbie Findley, Hercules Gomez, and Edson Buddle made the world cup squad.

I don't think you can count many people out this early.
