thanks! Hopefully Break Shea can get it going. I would like to see Cameron get some run...

[Kilmer17]

I dont think either of them will make the dress list.

My guess is a starting lineup of-

Howard
Cherundolo, Goodson, Bocanegra, Johnson
Dempsey, Beckerman, Jones, Torres (ugh)
Altidore, Gomez

Shea may make it if we play a 4-5-1.

My guess is Klinsmann is playing for a tie.

Why does Beckerman keep getting national team starts?

[Gibbs Hog Heaven]

How does Rimando continue to get in ahead of the likes of Hamid? And how is the 18 goal top MLS scorer overlooked?

I presume Bradley's injured?

Good luck guys BTW.

Hail.

I wonder the same thing about guys like Rimando and Beckerman. They are never going to get the start in major international competition, so why keep calling them up for the lesser games? Why not call up younger talent instead?

However, I don't think Hamid has helped his own case this year, starting with his performance at the Olympic qualifiers and being basically replaceable on DCU afterwards. He's also gotten a lot of cards (for a goalie) this year.

Not sure about Wondo. I assume that's a style of play issue?

I think Danny Wilson will get the start over Torres. I think Edu starts over Becks. I would love to see Dempsey behind either Gomez or Boyd and Shea out on the wing. In a 4-2-3-1 set up.

Question: When is Stuart Holden coming back from injury? Will he be able to play at the same level? I thought he was going to be the driving force for the national team for years to come...

[renaissance]

off topic: soccer season has started back up, let me know if you or BSF every feel like playing...[COLOR="Gold"]

Still Monday nights? Shoot me a PM if you're ever in need of players and we'll try to make it out

[Kilmer17]

Beckerman has to be called in if Donovan and Bradley are out. And will play as long as Holden is out as well.

He's not great, but he's steady. And he SHOULD be good enough in games against teams like Jamaica.

Hamid will be our starter after 2014. But for now, Guzan will go in if something ever happens to Howard.

Who is carrying the qualifier tonight?

Who is carrying the qualifier tonight?

The new "beIN SPORT" network. Channel 620 on Directv. They have bought the rights to every away game for the US through qualifying.

Sadly for all of us, Balboa is doing the commentary

Is beIN SPORT on FiOS? I have been trying to find it but have been unsuccessful.

Not yet. I read on BigSoccer that it will be available though by the time we play in Antigua.

This game vs Jamaica was not going to be on tv at all (like the Guatemala game). Then beIN stepped up and paid serious money.
