U.S. Open Cup semifinals: Your Running Commentary
By night's end, the final of the 2011 U.S. Open Cup will be set. The Chicago Fire and Richmond Kickers square off in a battle of unlikely semifinal participants who are both looking to maintain their surprising runs (8:30 p.m., live stream on Chicago-Fire.com). The Kickers are the last non-M...
AHAHAH! I saw this too.
Kidding aside, I was super impressed with hsi ability to distribute out of the back. THe way our defense handled the ball and actually created the attack, in my mind, is the biggest difference between this game and the Argentina game. And I didn't mention the gulf in quality of Paraguay when compared with Argentina as the main difference, because both teams pressured our backs roughly the same.

Ream's composure, passing impresses coaches, teammates in USA loss
photo by John Dorton/ISIphotos.com By FRANCO PANIZO NASHVILLE, Tenn. - When Bob Bradley reflects on the U.S. national team's March camp, one of the major things he'll take away from it is the play of some of his younger players, and that doesn't only refer to Juan Agudelo and Timmy Chandler. ...
While I don't appreciate the words used, I certainly echo the sentiment. Just a simple touch will do - why so much power LD???

Loving Chandler right now. He can control the ball, make runs, can cross, and has great pace. What more do you want from your RB?!

Edu needs to show more tenacity in the center of mid / d. He is too soft.

Excellent prep for what will probably be a tough group draw in S Africa. Agree with PetedeLA - we DEFINITELY need to play against a sub-Saharan African team. Recommend Ivory Coast as they will probably be 2010's dark horse

U.S. Gold Cup Roster Announced (A closer look)
While the Confederations Cup still has one more game to play, the U.S. national team will begin play in the CONCACAF Gold Cup very soon. Now we know who will be on that roster. Charlie Davies, Freddy Adu, Kenny Cooper, Steve Cherundolo and Jimmy Conrad are five of the players chosen for the U.S....
Unbelievable game. Unsure why Beasley had been given another chance, but he showed that he doesn't have the ability to play at this level any longer.
Dempsey needs to be made to fight for his spot. I was blaming his previous performances on fatigue after the long European season, but he clearly cares less about team success than personal flamboyance. His attitude is terrible right now. Bench him, rest him up and make him play for his spot.
Klejstan hasn't been performing in MLS - why is he being offered the chance on a higher stage at a higher level?
Normally I haven't questioned many of Bradley's choices, but when you gamble on two out-of-form players and it directly costs you games, on what is now more than one occasion, we need to have answers.
We can't really play much worse than this; I think we may have to consider getting some fresh coaching blood in there.
