From what I've seen from Mexico, they better bring their stars if they want to win some games. Mexico just tied to Guatemala's backup team and that is
definitely not going to cut if they want to beat a Costa Rica/Honduras/USA.

Guatemala brought their back up team and Mexico brought the team that backs up their back up team.

As we can see from the list I posted above it is a mix of first, second and third tier players. The formation I would like to see be tried out (since that iswhat Aguierre is doing).


G. Ochoa
O. Rojas - J. Magallon - I. Rodriguez - F. Pinto
G. Dos Santos - I. Castro - G. Torrado - A. Medina
M. Sabah - C. Vela
 
i have to be honest, theres a couple players on the roster that i've never seen play
laugh.gif
which is rare because im usually up on everything related to the national team

Colin Clark (Colorado Rapids), Sam Cronin (Toronto FC), Brad Evans (Seattle Sounders FC), Logan Pause (Chicago Fire)

are these guys decent? i have no clue

Robles will be the #1 for this right? im interested to see how he plays...if theres one thing you can say about the USNT, its they consistently have worldclass keepers

i hope Kenny Cooper plays well, ive always liked him...and i want to believe Connor Casey has something to offer but this has got to be the last chance he getsif he doesn't

That's a pretty damn good line up if you ask me. I can recognize each and everyone of those players.

As for USA
smh.gif
 
Looks like the US will be able to add 7 more players for this Gold Cup. Use em wisely Bradley!

"6/30/2009 - NEW YORK - Any team playing in both the Confederations Cup and Gold Cup in the same year will be allowed to increase its roster from 23 to 30 players, CONCACAF announced
Tuesday. The decision will enable the United States to add seven players to its already announced squad for the tournament that starts Friday."

Also Landon Donovan arrived at LAX today with about 20-30 ppl waiting for him and that bum Sasha. Landon was shocked/happy at the reception.

stupid question: what happened to eddie johnson? i know he's been over in europe...but what happened to him playing for the US team?
 
I mean I read it earlier, but it didn't seem out of what he's been saying before. First team to offer him real first team touches will be where helands.

Guatemala brought their back up team and Mexico brought the team that backs up their back up team.

Thank you. Even if Mexico used a "C" team, they should have at least won against Guatemala's "B" team. Anyway, I just hope that Mexicanfans will not try to play down what is going on with their National team by saying "Oh, they're just using a back up team, once they have their starsthen it will be a different story!" We have seen Mexico and its stars and I am far from being impressed. Even if they win the Gold Cup, I just hope thatthey don't let that win get to their heads. I doubt the U.S will take them lightly on August, the U.S will want to make sure to defeat Mexico and maketheir chances of going to the World Cup almost impossible.

never negate what's happening.

These guys are lost, uninspired. I hope with time Aguirre fixes em up, but i'm not holding my breathe. They're always playing from the wrong side ofthe ball.

The US is on fire, they're on a tear. Whether they overachieved in the CONF CUP or not is another discussion, the fact is the record shows they'redoing things and doing it well.

At this point, if MEX qualify for the WC i'd be surprised. I just love watching a great game. I'd love to see both MEX and USA get another go-ahead inAfrica though. Let's see what happens.
 
whats up with the honduras team, i barely caught some of it on espn deportes, saying how they might now play due to politics, can any one shed some light onthat?

They on verge of a civil war out there. I think they were referring to the actual WCQ not the Gold Cup. The national team is already here. I could be wrongthough.
 
Yea the president in Honduras was trying to do what Chavez did.. Change the constitution or something like.... But they took him out of power.. Thats all Iknow.


or something like that..

Samuel Wilson is pretty good...I think Nicaragua will win a game... Is anyone else going to the USA/Honduras game? I got my tickets today...
