And I'm sure Bruce Arena is happy to see Landon Donovan go score a hat trick in a friendly while Galaxy lost in Houston. lmao

Timbers can't strike the balance. We finally got Boyd a goal and developed plenty of offense, but let in another late goal, and outshot Vancouver like four times over... Blah

Looks like Eden Hazard is headed to Chelsea.

Ouch. What happened? I didn't see.

I would imagine Rimando will be on a short leash until he can totally establish himself. He's so freaking short. I've met him a couple times. Most GK's are my height, and I tower over him.

Nevermind. I'm looking at the grades, and Rimando didn't play (I don't think he's appeared in a US game, yet) so I misunderstood whatever you saying.

A couple days late, but I don't think I've ever seen the midfield look as good as they did against Scotland.

You do see the occasional 5'10"-6' keeper. Not often though.

I am keeping my optimism highly guarded right now, but maybe the German is finally getting to the team. Even though it was Scotland, blow outs like that rarely happen with our team.

Scotland isn't good but they're not terrible.

Both teams played fairly starting XI-ish, and it was a grade-A ass whuppin'. So good looks going into WC qualifying.

Really looking forward to this one. It's on ESPN3, so I'll be watching on xbox.

Woody Paige just ripped it on ATH since Brazil is bringing mostly their olympic squad. Lame.

Neymar and Dempsey on the same pitch. 'nuff said.

No, it's roughly their Olympic roster I think. The Olympics only allows U23's, each side is allowed a few exceptions IIRC. Menezes has some pressure on him to win gold in London -- he might get the boot before the 2014 WC if he doesn't.

On the other hand, we haven't beat Brazil in eons, and a win tonight could be worth some serious momentum. So we'll be running close to full strength.
