whats the deal with TJ Delaney of FC Copenhagen? is he holding out for a place on the Danish team or not interested in playing for the us?
― Michael B, Thursday, 4 August 2011 19:46 (thirteen years ago) link
I've never heard of him but apparently he played for Denmark at the Euro U21 tournament this summer. What sort of a midfielder is he?
― boxall, Thursday, 4 August 2011 19:51 (thirteen years ago) link
we've got a lot of midfielders tbh, it's everywhere else in the outfield we're lacking

like: shea, hamid, mexican-american dudes, adudislike: beas, buddleclark is pretty o_O but I still think he has potential, has done well for frankfurt
hoping that some of those veterans are there to start working on finding the ethos/playing style that klinsmann has talked up in interviews, 'cause they're sure as shit not going to be around for 2014
asst. coaches are interesting too: martin vasquez who was at bayern and then got fired from fake chivas, also tab ramos

Could use some creative players in midfield, don't see any of the above providing that except maybe Torres and Shea. No Diskerud. I guess Teal Bunbury's been in a slump?

I think creativity in the mid will come from Adu & Torres in the short term. Can't wait to see Holden back in the lineup eventually. Diskerud is in the middle of his season, right? Bet he'll get the call vs Belgium.

boxall: i havent seen him play really so i dont know much about him. he came on against shamrock rovers last night but the game was already over really by that point. hes played for denmark u-21's as well though which probably makes him ineligible to play for the us.
― Michael B, Thursday, 4 August 2011 20:40 (thirteen years ago) link
no it doesn't. you can switch once if you haven't appeared in a senior, competitive match
― mizzell, Thursday, 4 August 2011 20:41 (thirteen years ago) link
Our singlemost failing, imho, is a lack of attacking flair and i don't see that changing here. We concede goals not just because our defense is shakey but because other teams know that our counteres and ability to press our attack aren't great. Donovan's OK and Buddle shows promise but w/o more killer instinct and finishing ability, we're merely chancers, albeit w/heart.

I'll take Agudelo all day over Buddle, personally. Possibly just grasping at Jozyesque straws with the kid, but he has shown a real willingness to take defenders on and go for every chance he gets.
― keillor can folk anything. and he will, and has. (dan m), Thursday, 4 August 2011 20:59 (thirteen years ago) link
Would take the actual Jozy over Buddle, easily, I can't believe he or Beasley are still in the picture.
― boxall, Thursday, 4 August 2011 21:05 (thirteen years ago) link
I like Jozy but he needs some real experience and honing, nay, forging even.
― publier les (suggest) bans de (Michael White), Thursday, 4 August 2011 21:07 (thirteen years ago) link
He left MLS too soon imo.
― keillor can folk anything. and he will, and has. (dan m), Thursday, 4 August 2011 21:21 (thirteen years ago) link
Very possible. Where is he languishing on the bench, now?

Just signed with AZ in Holland, probably a good place for him tbh.
― keillor can folk anything. and he will, and has. (dan m), Thursday, 4 August 2011 21:24 (thirteen years ago) link
He's too flighty. I'd rather he'd spent his whole time playing for the RBs than ending up in boomvuk Holland

us still lacking anyone in the middle to make something happen, opened up too easily at the back. juergen looks kind of bewildered on the sidelines. his smile during the national anthem was cute, though.

Has Chandler caught your eye at all pandemic, assuming you caught a Nuremberg match or two last season?

No he hasn't boxall, and Nuremberg haven't had a full game shown on TV yet this season. Will definitely keep an eye out and report back tho.
