[$teauA]

I feel a raping, I mean it's been a while; I say 3 or 4-0 for the US.

It's gonna be a good day tomorrow both the US and Romania will win I can feel it.

 

[NGAFOOTBALLKING]

Cobi Jones still plays!!
D*mn how old is he and wat club does he play for.

Cobi Jones still plays!!
D*mn how old is he and wat club does he play for.

He plays for the Los Angeles Galaxy in MLS, I'm pretty sure he's over 35.

 

[henry#14]

What a f*cking rip off!! I was supposed to be getting Holland-Romania live, instead I get this I'll still be watching though. i say 4-2 USA.

 

[Bobby]

Haha, why do you get CONCACAF games in New Zealand?

--------------Keller---------------
Cherundolo, Pope, Bocanegra, Gibbs
------------Jones [c]-------------
Dempsey-------------------Beasley
------------Donovan--------------
-----Johnson-------McBride-------

And yea, Cobi is old as hell, he's kept himself in shape tho.

I beleive he has the most caps of any active player in the world.

edit: actually he's 3rd, with 164.

thats a kick ass lineup

We even get MLS sometimes. It's kinda weird, I know..

 

[Shiryu]

Well, it is a nice line-up.

From seeing some players against England, i guess, the U.S. can take this one. Not without a good fight from Costa Rica though, and watch out for Ronald, tends to out-do anything predicted of him before the game.

U.S. 3 - 2 Costa Rica.

Are you drunk?

Cobi as a defensive mid?

Dempsey or Zavagnin will play that role. Or maybe both with a box midfield.

 

[Internazionale]

USA will win it. 2-0 to USA. It looks very neck to neck now in the standings. Guatemala might be in the 3rd spot in the final standings if Costa Rica run poorly...

 

[shadowofanubis6]

Why does soccernet keep calling costa rica's attack a "dangerous" threat everytime they talk about it. What would they then call it if we played brazil or france? " A momumentaly dangerously super power attack?" shaddup. Wanchope doesn't scare me

 

[Bobby]

Costa Rica does have a dangerous attack, they just need help elsewhere.

And i meant Cobi as a center mid, i just didn't want to mess up my format

 

[Bummy_JaB]

Damn, I see a lot of support for the US national team in this game..... Too bad the MLS will take years to even reach this level of fans........

Nice goal by Donovan

 

[Deisler]

The MSL needs smaller stadiums and better located. I mean can't they built a nice 20000 stadium near the zones that are populated mostly by immigrants? That will pack the stadiums and will increase the revenue

 

[Deisler]

3-0 US

Donovan twice and McBride

 

[shadowofanubis6]

That was the best I've seen the USA play in a long time, if ever. There wasn't the "kick the ball sideways" mentality there, just pushing forward. I'll have the highlights in a few minutes.

 

[Bobby]

That Costa Rican getting sent off in stoppage.

What a dumbass.

 

[Deisler]

Casey Keller was hot today. Impresive atmosphere in Utah.
