Is Robbie Rogers going to get the call up for the world cup? I feel like he has done nothing but produce opportunities since he has been with the national team. I didn't see him on the roster?

Would love to see our guys come out with a win in this final tune-up, but the Dutch are a tough squad.. I think the Netherlands wins it 2-0 or 3-1...

Robben
Huntelaar

Kuyt

That doesn't even include Van Persie lol
Or RUUUUUUUD Van Nistelrooy!!!

Past his prime...but would destroy the lesser teams in the world still.

Don't think Ruud is on the squad today, thank goodness, but he does still have a pretty good spark.

I don't think Robbie Rodgers is ready I'm not sure there is a Mid i would replace with Rodgers. I am a big fan of what Torres brings to the team.

Sick as in, good, or sick as in, nasty?

I like the away jerseys but I have to warm up to the home whites.

Sick as in good. I dont like those whites too much though. The stripe needs to be a different color than off white. I think Red would be better than Blue, but either would be better than white. Maybe when I see them on our boys I will like them more though.

Ill be sporting my Dempsey USA jersey today (despite the injury).

My Donovan jersey is beat to shit or else I'd be wearing it today. Thankfully my g/f was looking for a new jersey for me for Xmas, couldn't find one and said it may have to be my birthday present (which falls right before the WC). New jersey, here I come!

Don't know how the US could come out of this with a draw let alone a win. There will be a noticeable lack of defensive organization sans Gooch, not something you want to have against the dutch. The only hope for that is for the US to dominate the possession in the midfield. Don't quite know how that could happen looking at the rosters

Yeah, I just hope they look like they belong. Losing by 3 would suck. Keeping it competitive and within one or even two (if the pressure is up, the chances are good, and the movement/communication is flowing) is what I'm looking for today.

I don't like those, it looks like they are in a beauty pageant.

I definitely need to see them on, I was talking with a friend earlier who thought the "sash" (if you will) looked really tacky. Almost beauty pageant like.

I kinda like the white. I would love to see more red in those, though.


EDIT: Stroups beat me to that first point.

Putting a red stripe on white would make me think of England more than US.

Sounds like the US is getting dominated pretty thoroughly. Anyone watching live? Thoughts?
