Sweet!

 

[ugafan6612]

yes! A comment!!

 

[HighTide]

I'm not expecting much tonight though, coach hasn't had much time to prepare them. Unless Mexico is fielding their C team.

 

[BadMotoWeazal]

Mexico loves beating the US.... I hope the new coach will help get our boys prepared & motivated!!! GO USA....Beat Mexico!!!

 

[Brasky]

Where's Altidore?

 

[Brasky]

He still recovering from that hammy?

 

[ugafan6612]

Yeah I think so. I mean I'm sure he's fine to play but better not chance it since it's just a friendly.
Last I heard it was a 6 week injury in late June

 

[AC1]

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YANKS

Also: I thought Alitdore had club obligations?

 

[ugafan6612]

you're probably right. I can never find good links
I know he just got transferred to a Dutch team

 

[AC1]

=(

not sure if absurdly good.... or absurdly lucky

 

[ugafan6612]

LOL @ the white Mezzicans on their team

 

[AC1]

I tuned into the Mexico game a little late.

What formation were we using and what were Klinsmann's comments on it?

 

[spacedoodoopistol]

Altidore already made an appearance for AZ.....he's not injured, but just probably not a good time to leave his club for a 3-day intercontinental jaunt.

AC1, largely a 4-2-3-1, with the wingers switching positions at times to let them cut inside.......which didn't work at all in the first half with Buddle unable to do anything by himself. When they brought subs in though, Agudelo made it work a lot better, he can pass and work hard, and they built some solid attacks.

This...and thank you sir. Rep

AC1 there is also thread right below this one about the post game which answers most of your questions by the way.
