do we need a gold cup thread or can we keep it here/the concacaf thread?

I would say use CONCACAF thread. Where are these games going to be televised?

i awlays watch on telefutura/ telemundo

The CR/Cuba and Mexico/El Salvador games last night were on Univision. I think they might be streamed on concacaf.com too? Fox Soccer has some games too iirc but the Spanish-language channels will likely show every game.

i feel like tonight "matters"

hell yes it matters, no quotes needed

gotta be 3-0 or better

dont think this is showing anywhere in town :(

u can stream online for free @ concacaf.tv

heyo

timmy ream starting is a little out there, but gooch looked kinda shitty vs spain too

jozy in

great angle. keeper's fault, but still a good looking shot

yeah, he held it up nice but the keeper should have stopped it

gbx does the online stream have commentary? I don't mind watching en espanol but HD on the ol' monitor would be nice.

yup

bradley is a boss tonight. altidore with a goal. who knew?

teenage bradley used to train with nowak, armas, kubik, and stoichkov when his dad was coach of the fire, so of course he's going to be a boss

great save

jugador mas valioso de state farm: jozy altidore

timmy trending WORLDWIDE

i don't understand why timmy chandler is not in the roster. robby rogers? are you kidding me...

Chandler? Bradley: "First real season playing at this level, it didn't make sense for him at this time, few minor injuries of late"

what shit.

ream isn't intl caliber. bet you jermaine jones doesn't play w/us again. bocanegra's done @ this level.

fire bob? never thought i'd become one of those guys.

I agree Jones was shitty, not so sure about Ream tho. Boca should be a CB if anything and not out wide. Wondo's miss was sad but they shouldn't have been in that position against a team like Panama.

This team really needs a Holden.

Aston Villa won´t sign Michael Bradley permanently. McLeish cancelled the deal today, although clubs agreed on terms before, acc. to "Bild".

aw fuck AV

still think he could be a good prem midfielder, and imagine what a midfield of him, jones, and a back-in-form holden would be like for the usa

hope he lands somewhere good, and would like to see the us play a 4-3-3 with that midfield and dempsey and donavan pushed up

whenever i see this thread title i think its about the ninja turtles

excited for the final. i don't have any confidence in sasha starting vs mexico. if i were bradley, i would play a 4-6-0 with edu instead for the first 75 mins to combat giovanni & chicharito then pray dempsey could save us again. i've been impressed with bedoya so far, i wonder if he can play behind agudelo or dempsey?

this is the most otm thing I've read since the final

http://aol.sportingnews.com/soccer/story/2011-07-01/firing-bradley-wouldnt-solve-us-soccers-real-problem

friendlies against Costa Rica and Belgium announced today btw

Jozy to AZ Alkmaar huh, I always figured he wasn't ready for a club like Villareal.

Bradley out

"further announcement friday" could they have someone lined up already? seems unlikely

didn't see that coming

Be nice if he came back to the Fire :D

but yeah now is the time to speculate on who the replacement will be

Klinsmann is the easy pick of course

only other name I see kicked around: Jason Kreis

lol comment on the Goff blog article about Bradley: "Fire whomever they hire!"

ok just read Marcelo Lippi rumor think I'm gonna shoot myself

Ives lists these dudes

Juergen Klinsmann
Guus Hiddink
Marcelo Lippi
Carlo Ancelotti
Rafa Benitez
Bruce Arena
Sigi Schmid
Jason Kreis
Claudio Reyna

Juergen Klinsmann - seems like he'll get the job
Guus Hiddink - yeah right
Marcelo Lippi - dunno
Carlo Ancelotti - more often than i should admit i think back to an interview where he said he was learning english. he had this shy smile about it, made him a real person. i like him and wish him well, can't imagine he'd end up here.
Rafa Benitez - only for the dmac lols
Bruce Arena - fucking hate this guy
Sigi Schmid - sumo coach, says he hasn't been contacted
Jason Kreis - 2015? or now. good guy at some point for us imo
Claudio Reyna - just got started Teaching The Youth. stick w/that for a bit

otm

starting the "Fire Klinsmann" bandwagon right now b/c it's inevitable -- who's with me?

What was his plan for getting 'the inner-city youths' into the game, again? I've forgotten.
