U.S.A. v. Ecuador (Tampa, FL)

Great news on the additions to the squad. Some mates and I will be attending the friendly against China in San Jose and any fellow Whites supporters who want to grab a pint or two beforehand, we'd be happy to oblige.

 

"In General".... I bet you'll find some of the scum from "BigSoccer" hanging around the Press Box

 

Appears Bradley has the "A" squad in effect for the March ties.

If anyone here is going to the match or lives in Tampa and would like to join the "ZZZ" squad, here are the particulars:

And now, something we have all been waiting for, the USMNT's new pajama top, er, I mean baseball, no, 3rd Jersey:

I'll assume you meant a Jim & Coke. :wink: I sure wish I could see the national team play, hopefully 2010. Little things like graduating college and scrounging enough money to eat get in the way...

Don't worry, it builds character that eating top ramen and saving your money for a six pack (or if your splurging, in your case, a small bottle of Jim Beam) thing.

In the famous words of Led Zeppelin, "Your time is gonna come...."

It is quite possible, and I mean very possible, that I could present a few questions to Clint Dempsey or Carlos Bocanegra (or any other USMNT player) while I am down there this weekend.

Any requests?

I would, but I think he is out. Pearcey on the other hand,....

If I can get on a computer, I'll try to provide updates as available. Saturday at the end of their practice seems to be one of the opportunities. And then I have bending ear sesions with Rob Stone and Wynalda lined-up that night.

Let you know how it goes.

 

PCB; Any word on how many tickets have been sold to the game?? Your weekend seems to be getting better and better. Let's see possible ?'s for Boca and Deuce... You know what you have did lead with...

'Any other questions...yes the gentleman holding the cocktail'

Do either of you know how I can get a hold of Jessica Alba??

 

And you know that, man.

Last estimate I heard was around 23,000 tickets. A buddy on the ground in Tampa is predicting close to 30,000 at game time though. That would be a pretty decent crowd, IMO.

 

Alright, here's my best line-up, but not necessarily who will be playing (as I imagine they will mix the more veteran guys with some of the newer guys):


------------------------------------- Howard -------------------------------------

--- Cherundolo ------- Onyewu ------------- Spector -------- Bocanegra ---

---- Mapp ---------- Dempsey -------------- Donovan --------- Beasley ----

------------ Ching --------------------------------------- Twellman ------------


Even though I am no Landycakes or Da-Me-Me-Marcus fan, they have experience the others do not, for now. I happily look forward to seeing Feilhaber, Carrol, Bradley or others unseat them.

Final: U.S.A. 2 - 1 Ecuador

 

As someone on Fox Football Phone-In said the other night, whether Bradley is interim or permanent and whether there is a better coach out there, Team USA won't start winning until we find forwards who can score.

I agree.

 

FINALLY DEMERIT GETS THE CALL!!!!!!!!

 

T -3 hours roughly before the Panhandle Express leaves the station. I'll try to log on and update, but everything will be played by ear. So, If I don't surface over the weekend, I'll be in touch next week, and everyone enjoy. U.S.A.!! U.S.A.!! U.S.A.!!
