USA - Poland [R]

[$teauA]

FIFA rankings are worthless

Anyway USA - Poland 4-0, can't wait.

And it's obvious your sarcasm detector didn't go off.

See that's where it should have gone off.

There might be a malfunction in your sarcasm detector - I suggest you make a doctor appointment to fix it. And have the doctor remove whatever is up your arse while you're at it.

Obviously the FIFA rankings are not very accurate. If I wanted to be a whiny bitch about it, Mexico is still ahead of the US despite the fact that we've onwed them for the last 5 or so years. But I choose not to waste my time discussing FIFA rankings as they are pretty much pointless.

Predictions on USA's Starting 11? Mine are:


-----------Howard-----------
--Bocanegra-----Pope------Gibbs-------Convey--
-----------Armas------------Mastroeni----
Donovan----------------------------------Beasley
---------Wolff-------------------------McBride

Hopefully Wolff doesn't get hurt playing Poland this time around.

 

[Run DMB]

I think Wolff's been injured during 50% of his career. Seriously. Which is still not too bad compared to John O'Brien, who's been injured for 90% of his career. Here's a question: when is the last time Josh Wolff and John O'Brien have both appeared on the field for the US in the same game? It's gotta be World Cup 2002, so two years since that's happened.

Not too sure about Boca on the right... here's my prediction:

----------------------Howard----------------------


-----------------Gibbs-------Boca-----------------
--Cherundolo--------------------------Convey--


---------------Armas----------Mastroeni---------
-----Donovan-----------------------Beasley-----


---------------Wolff----------McBride-------------



I suspect Arena might start Zavagnin though, instead of Mastroeni. Wolff ahead of Mathis because Wolff's fitness level should be much better right now. Mullan and Gaven should come on for Donovan and Beasley respectively at some point during the game. Ching on for McBride at halftime.

Final prediction:

USA 3, Poland 0

I`m probably gonna get flamed by majority of USA peeps in here but what the heck .. I really think USA peeps should stick to their BASEBALL, and American Football

No hard feelings.. :drevil:

 

[Jambo Den]

Hey, you know a lot about football hex. Expert knowledge

For the record, I think the USA are an excellent team, could very well make it to the semi-finals in WC '06..

 

[Mayor]

I think USA will win coz even I can't remember all players who will be in today's squad, all substitutes

it's rather for testing Janas's poor tactic techniques

Atleast we don't like Jerry Lewis anymore. Why don't your French "peeps" stop watching his crappy movies and thinking he is god's gift to comedy. I hope no one turns France on to Fran Drescher who might as well be the female equivlent to good ol' Jerry Lewis.

Also Scotland will do something sooner or later. Maybe when Duncan Ferguson gets another shot on the NT.

 

[Spider-Man84]

Hey Zex...who got further in the last World Cup?


BTW, RUNDMB...Pope and Gibbs are gonna start...Arena has been wanting to see how that combo plays out and what better to do it in, then a friendly.

Trust me your not bothering us we're used to it by now. Your just another person making an ignorant comment about the US... oh well what can ya do

 

[mihalll]

Wow, what a crappy team we've sent there.

Boruc, Piatek

Kaczorowski, Mowlik, Lasocki, Bieniuk, Dudka, Stasiak

Scherfchen, Rachwal, Jarzebowski, Mila, Burkhardt, Goliñski, Gevorgyan, Madej

Wlodarczyk, Jelen

Actually, there's only one name ending with -ski

Is Kader still alive?

 

[shy_guy329]

usa should win this one easily.

It won't be easy, but last time the US won in poland 1-0. I predict the same will happen again.

 

[Run DMB]

Boca and Pope in central defense.

Zavagnin is indeed in the starting line-up, but he's taken the place of Armas.

(at least according to the ussoccer.com MatchTracker)

 

[$teauA]

USA under some early pressure.

already 2 saves from Howard under 2 minutes

 

[schils]

What's with the Match Tracker ? Mine is not working/updating?? Arghh!!!

 

[Caponedawg]

lol Josh Wolff dived to get the PK and McBride misses it anyways. Oh well guess justice served.
