That is a good line of thinking. Not opposed at all. Not really sure there is a huge skill gap between the two (like with Jozy), so you cant really say for certain 1 has to start over the other.ohiobucks1;1627785 wrote:The more I think about it, the more I think that if we start Zusi, we should start Wondo. Wondo is much better as an aerial threat than AJ. We could exploit Portugal's depleted back line with a Zusi/Wondo combo.
If Jurgen thinks we will have more of an outside attack with crosses, I think he goes Wondo, for the reasons you laid out. If he wants to attack up the middle with Bradley and Dempsey again and use Zusi and the ??? as outside options for lay offs and such, I think the ??? will end up being AJ.

Honestly, IDC who is up top. We need Bradley to have a better game. If he plays as well as we know he can, we can beat anybody.

Should be a good 2nd half in England-Uruguay. Two teams fighting for their lives.

Suarez put Uru on top with a nice header. Good game so far. First game today was good as well w/Coffee beating Soap 2-1

It's not that though. Gerrard hit the ball which means even because he was in an offside position it's not called there.Fab1b;1627981 wrote:How do you let Suarez behind you

Should have played Lamps instead of Gerrard. Stevie G hasn't been good in big games this year.

I thought Gerrard played good. He doesn't have much of a shot but his ball distribution was great.

He is the worst. Such a douche...he pissed me off so bad before the us ghana game. "I would love to say us wins this but I have to be smart and pick with my head and not my heart, so I'm picking a draw" oh shut the fuck up lalas. The US is ranked 20 spots higher than Ghana you tard.Automatik;1628076 wrote:Alexi Lalas is such a pompous fuck. Michael Ballack is calling him out right now on his BS and I love it.

Did you just see that segment? Ballack would fucking own him in anything soccer related.

Basically he was all doom and gloom because Jozy wasn't playing. Then Ballack called him out because Lalas got pissy over Jurgen's "can't win the WC" comments.
Something along the lines of, "you give Jurgen shit because he says it's not realistic to win, but you are giving up because you can't play ONE striker." Then Lalas backpedaled and deflected like a bitch.
