I missed the first 30 minutes because of class and the last 30 minutes because I started watching spain vs italy, but I'll probably watch the replay sometime.

Seems that Poland is one of the few european teams we actually beat in Europe :rolleyes:

Even though it's just a friendly, I'm pretty excited for this match, but there's always something extra special when we play European nations, and especially top countries like England.

Is Boca still at Fulham? I thought I read somewhere that they aren't renewing his contract? Maybe I'm wrong :unsure:

Going to an English pub by my house for this one; gonna talk some trash and drink some beer! :D

Yeah, Boca was released from Fulham.

Im excited for this too, but I can only watch the first half live, then i have to go to work :(

Its so weird watching sky on fsc and seeing the US players and talking about us. Makes me even more excited :D Dont get to play teams like England often.

0-2, disappointing but pretty much expected, especially since Donovan got injured and couldnt play. I wonder if Bradley is going to stay manager to the next World Cup, I kind of hope not. The team didnt have any spark and no drive up front either and gave away to many fks at the back, among other things. If we play like this against Spain and Argentina I think its going to be alot worse than 0-2 though.

What a horrible match!!! We had what, 3 shots on goal at the most?!?! Oh well, as long as we don't play that awful during the WCQ, but then again it is CONCACAF and we won't even go into what a sad region that is. :rolleyes: But I think that's where Bradley is either going to make or break his USMNT coaching career. If he struggles in the first few matches we may be looking at a change.

Ugh I'm pissed I'm going to miss the U.S/Spain match next week; My parents had to book our flight at the exact time of the game....go figure :rolleyes:

Lorni - I think I did see something on Kickette about Boca....that site makes me laugh :lol:

USA vs Spain today at 5:30 EST, Landon Donovan is out again for us. Im not very postive about this after the England match. Hopefully the boys will put out alot more fight. Also hope that Bradley tries something else tactically because the US were horrible getting pressure against England.

EDIT here is the squad,
Howard
Cherundolo Onyewu Bocanegra Pearce

Edu Bradley

Dempsey Lewis

Johnson Adu

And the match actually starts at 4 EST ESPN2 has a delay, ESPN360 has it live

Also, not US team news, but Jozy Altidore appears to be moving to Villareal.

Wow, we actually played pretty well today. 0-1 is not bad at all considering it could have been 1-1 if Johnson knew how to score <_< . I thought we played alot lot better than against England. Adu playing really made a difference and we sort of lost some of our attacking edge when he came out. Hopefully hes fit for Argentina. I think if we had Altidore in there instead we actually might have gotten a result.

0-0, fantastic game to watch, super great atmosphere, and suuuper result for US :D

There were like 78,000+ people there and it was like scorching hot (like 110 degrees field level and in parking lot) and sooo humid which was kinda sucky, but once we got in the stadium it was so great. Even in the parking lots it was great because alot of the US fans were together with one tailgate. I have some videos and stuff so im going to try to put them on youtube then put the links here, and once the pictures are uploaded ill put them here too. I got some pretty good ones too i think lol
