**Official USMNT Soccer Thread** Vol: USMNT OUT of the World Cup... What's NEXT?

I feel what you're saying but, improving every game doesn't mean much now. Bornstein cost us a goal in qualifying when he cleared the ball over his head over his own box

He's constantly on his back foot, he has no countering ability at all. I just don't think he's good enough to play at this level.

Yesterday he cost us a PK right before half, and damn near another PK b/c of a handball in the box. 

Carlos, DeMerit, Gooch, Spector............Pearce = sub

  


im not saying he should start, but atleast he has been showing improvement. Its just that he has one or two mental lapses each game lol.

News on Stu is that he has a broken leg and will miss 6 weeks.

 

Not a bad game...i mean it was the Neatherlands(2nd team i support)

 

Got the second to last jersey in Dallas.

 

^

It was a one time thing, very very very very hard to get.

 

got ya. Thanks.

Prolly just gonna get the blue one then. I saw you copped the blue one in Dallas. What store do you normally go to?

 

I got to premier soccer store off on royal lane and harry hines, i went yersterday and the last size I saw was a xxl.

Stu had surgery today.

 

     It's been such a perfect fit for Landon in Everton. Hate all you want, but he's been balling. 

    Sucks that he dogged Beckham, otherwise he could possibly stay longer with the Toffees.

 

Those ones were the "Don't Tread On Me" kits from 06 and are impossible to find.

These ones are the new kit and should be available this summer:

 

Don't think it has anything to do with Beckham.  LD has shown commitment to the MLS for almost his entire career.  He's earned the right to leave.  

 

Landon Donovan to Chelsea rumors.

 

Ehhhhh.... %$%@ Chelsea, but I hope Donovan gets to do it big on that squad.

 

^

they cant afford him.

 

Landon will be hard pressed to get playing time with Chelsea.

The name Jermaine Jones has floated around US soccer circles ever since the thrice capped German midfielder made the decision to switch his nationality to the USA, at least in terms of soccer.

While the name circled and brought about hopes and dreams of a powerful midfield heading into 2010, the reality was much harsher. Jones was injured and that injury, along with complications during his rehab process, have kept the Schalke star from seeing any time on the pitch for the USA to date.

Last week news that Jones was in camp with the USA ahead of their clash with the Netherlands was encouraging for those who still harbor hopes of him joining Bob Bradley's side when they head to South Africa this summer and it seems that the former Eintracht Frankfurt star made a positive impression on USA 'keeper Tim Howard.

"I think he fits in really well with the team," Howard told SI.com. "He's got a lot of tattoos, he likes his music. I think he's a perfect fit for us. And, by the way, he's a fantastic player from what I hear."

Though Jones was still not fit enough to step onto the field and show his full worth to the squad, Howard said that he would be a welcome addition to the squad when he is ready to step on the pitch.

"It's an easy team to come into," he said. "Guys are welcomed with open arms, and we've heard great things about him. It was good to finally have him around."
