Wonder if Klinsman plays all the kids now that the group is locked up

8:30 CST I believe....

that we will win.

Odd lineup. Glad to get a chance to see Bedoya though.

Klinsman has taken the USMNT to a knotch below elite

And we are capable and do beat elite teams sometimes. We just haven't done it in the World Cup. I hope Klinsman is our coach for a long, long time.

Dempsey has been a beast out there.

We're going to need to move the MLS season to reflect everyone else's to go forward.

 

[Bulldogg31]

You're right...8:30 CST, thanks.

We're not looking anything close to elite so far in this Gold Cup. Of course, the women's team looked like **** at this point in the World Cup too, so there's still time to turn it around.

I was speaking in general not to this tournament. I'd say we haven't really "gotten up" for a game yet bc of who we've played. They know they need to step up now and there has been some great moments. We just haven't consistently maintained possession and made crisps passes. Our first touch seems to be off.

I'm glad that group stage is over. Hardly any bright spots. Will be interesting to see if JK makes any roster changes between now and the knockout round. He's allowed 6.

The group stage roster was atrocious, and that was by design. Our best midfielders all sat on the bench for the majority of the 3 games.

Looks like Jozy Altidore is getting cut for the knockout stages.

It seems as if Jozy hasn't reached the potential so many saw in him when...

he was initially called up to the USNMT. Especially in finishing around the goal. (Despite being the #5 highest scorer in USMNT history.)

 

[esplanade91]

He's a great "post up" forward, which was great for offenses like Bradley's. In Klinnsman's fast-paced anyone-fire offense I don't know if he's really a perfect fit.
