USA - Argentina Match (8 Jun, Giants Stadium)

Looks like a good matchup.

I'll be setting up a bus to the game from the Baltimore area. ~50 USA fans sitting together (getting home at 2 am won't be fun for Monday morning, but it'll be worth it!)

 

Hopefully you help fill Giants Stadium...It would be a shame to see it empty...hopefully the hype of Euro will help that...or the USSF can actually do some marketing.

 

My bus is set up and the tickets purchased! :-D

Still have some seats available.

Excellent work andy. Hope you're ready for WC qualifyiers!

 

I still have tickets left for the Argentina game.

I'll be buying a block of tickets for the Oct 11 game at RFK (vs Cuba or Antigua and Barbuda).

 

You mean like spares for people who want to go and watch with other Americans? :shock:

I can't say what they'll do on Sunday, obviously, but against Mexico on Wednesday they started a basically full-strength side including Messi, Aguero, Mascherano and Maxi Rodriguez. I don't know why but Tevez wasn't called into the squad for these friendlies.

 

No Riquelme either.

 

For all the US fans I just hope this doesn't get embarrasing. 60,000 Mexican fans saw their team get biiaattcch-slapped in San Diego 4-1 a couple of days ago v Argentina. If they play w/the same quality (it was a show) expect at least 3 or 4 goals from them.

AndyP you need US Soccer and NJ officials to give you some free advertisement because of this

 

Yes, US Fan section tickets....

I've asked US Soccer - they can't do it. i.e., they can't sell sponsor advertising and then give me advertising for free, nor can they place me "above" the other groups that are doing similar things.


Tevez is exhausted and requested taking off this round of friendlys/qualifiers

 

the lineup is a shocker. CD and MB starting...as well as Pablo and Califf. No Adu.

 

I only saw the second half, but I thought we did a good job. Especially after going a man down.

I think the Argies looked too much at our previous two games.

Howard is a BULL!

 

I thought the boys played with a lot of grit. Random thoughts: Dempsey set the tone early. I've never seen Califf before and he really impressed. The MOM has to be Howard. The ref must have made a mistake on Mastroeni's red. Mascherono deserved his red. After England, I was thinking "oh dearie me." I know the're friendlies and all, but we played Spain and Argentina pretty well. Playing three top-flight countries before the qualifying was a good idea.

 

MOM definately was Howard! Superb 1 v 1 stops. I was not disappointed with Donovan at all especially after Adu came on and settled down he and Adu combined well and pressed the Argies defenders on multiple occasions. Donovan also put some punch back in our set pieces. Adu again did a great job of putting defenders on their back foot.

 

I heard Howard was a beast in net.

I can't wait to go to next weekend's qualifier against Barbados. My first USMNT match in person.

 

Kljestan showed some pretty good flashes in there. He's one worth keeping an eye on, which means if he continues to show well, bye-bye Middle School League.

Everyone else pretty much covered the rest. DeMerit look like he REALLY wants to be in there, and Califf probably resurrected his USMNT career with last night's performance.
