5/2/2006 4:31:00 PM

in america? no. they just sit on the sofa and get fat watching american football w/ the exception of a few.

I don't see Ching going either. Twellman, Donovan, McBride, and Johnson are all locks for forwards/attacking midfielders. I'm wondering if Wolff will be selected.

5/2/2006 5:19:51 PM

Twellman is god-awful.

5/2/2006 5:32:33 PM

still working on getting tickets - the resale site is god-awful

5/2/2006 5:35:37 PM

^^ I don't like Twellman either, but his fans harp on him all the time.

i think reyna sucks

5/2/2006 6:40:10 PM

Yeah, forward is not a good position for the USA...

5/2/2006 6:49:16 PM

agreed.. I still love McBride and I like Wolff because of his experience but definately not Ching. When our midfield joins in we do have a very solid attack

5/2/2006 6:52:31 PM

fucking Ching

twellman's not much of an upgrade, but jesus, ching has looked horrible every us game to me

5/2/2006 6:54:03 PM

Rolfe is better than both.

5/2/2006 6:54:52 PM

so what's the starting lineup look like?

5/2/2006 6:55:34 PM

well for those who dont like reyna, we dont have to worry about him playing, he's sure to injure himself before the world cup

i hate him picking ching and conrad, ching has sucked every game, and ive never even noticed conrad playing

[Edited on May 2, 2006 at 6:58 PM. Reason : gh]

5/2/2006 6:56:58 PM

yeah i really dont like ching, even though he scored 4 goals in one mls game and everybody thinks he should've made it on that alone

5/3/2006 3:10:45 AM

he has blown on the international stage, although i dont really like twellman either, he shouldve gotten the nod

5/3/2006 4:09:04 AM

i think conrad got in cause ralston (who has played) is now hurt and cant play...

5/3/2006 9:19:16 AM

I thought Conrad was MLS defender of the year or some shit last year... like he wasn't a surprise call-up, Bruce has liked him for a while

I mean, I'm not sure, I haven't followed MLS or anything

5/3/2006 9:30:27 AM

As much as I talk up MLS being on par with most major nations' second division, being MLS defender of the year doesn't mean shit, just like Ching's four goal game doesn't mean a damn thing for the Nats.

5/3/2006 11:27:08 AM

I can't believe Tony Meola was even under consideration. I thought I would've seen Brad Friedel's name before his.

5/3/2006 11:57:48 AM

^brad friedel retired... he'd be starting if he wasn't retired

^^ oh yeah, I'm not saying it was a prestigious honor or anything... I just meant that Bruce gives alot of credit to MLS guys, obviously.. I mean, Ching?!?! as Gob would say, COME ON!

5/3/2006 12:13:51 PM

drew carrey for equipment manager

5/3/2006 12:14:56 PM

Bruce Arenas is a fucking idiot.

No Alexi Lalas?

Who else on that team can provide such positional flexibility... bassist and fullback

5/4/2006 3:01:03 PM
