What's our lineup tonight boys? I'm going with Howard-Cherundolo-Bocanegra-Onyewu-Lichaj-Donovan-Bradley-Jones-no idea-Demspey-Altidore

sort of a 4-4-1-1. I'm convinced Bradley is too stubborn to play Agudelo even though is already better than Altidore.

I believe the rule is you can change as long as you haven't played more than 3 games for a country (Chandler has 2 appearances at the moment) and that you have only played in friendlies. I could be wrong about this. Playing in the Gold Cup would have locked him in.

makes a lot more sense than what I heard. When I heard it was goals related I thougbt that would mean most defenders and certainly keepers could jump from team to team.

Let's do this!

Edit: nice goal by Altidore and it is good to see him playing decent. Hopefully, Agudelo will keep him inspired and we have a striking future.

Really starting to wonder how good of a decision it was to retain Bradley as coach at this point. Didnt get to see the game tonight, but I was pretty comfortable that we would win or at the very worst draw. Definitely not a good indicator for where the team is at right now. Hopefully they can pull through and get a win on Tuesday.

Is there a bigger douche on our team than Dempsey? He's unbelievably selfish and is glorified because of some gift goals in some of our biggest games.

Summary is as follows.

-Goodson gave them a PK on a very stupid tackle.
-Later on, he shot down the moon with the net wide open.
-Cherundolo doesn't know how to cross.
-Altidore is still lazy.
-Sacha didn't play bad, believe it or not.
-The official let them play, but missed a pretty clear penalty in favor of the U.S.

Yanks should have won, but Panama showed up, and we didn't. On to the next one.

It wasn't as much of a stupid tackle as just being unlucky.. He missed the ball trying to clear it and hit the Panama player.. To be honest that guy shouldn't have went down. I think that was a silly penalty.

Ah, I just thought he could have waited to clear it, looked too risky. I wish I could remember who the player was, but it looked to me like he got brought down on the far side of the box, and nothing was called, but this took place before the dive. I could very well be wrong, but it looked like a PK to me.

You are definitely right that he should have waited, but that is an inexperience thing.. As far as the penalty I remember what you are talking about now.. I am about 90% sure it was Dempsey.

Saw on another site that America has been outscored 23-5 in the first half of the past 23 games and outscored 13-2 in the first half of the past 13 games. To me, that's the biggest problem we have right now.
