Howard is rehabing a back injury and EJ has been ruled out due to illness.

Well then, I will revise my above guess by putting Barrett in for EJ.

 

I know this is Barbados but Barrett and Thorington over Cooper and Buddle? You will pardon me if I remain confused. Cooper seems like the perfect partnership to a small quick partner like LD or Adu but maybe I am just imagining things.

 

Well, I prefer Ching over Cooper as our strong holding forward, but I would take either one up front. And I've never seen Buddle play for the US so I would've liked to. This seemed like the time to do it since he let Donovan go home, and there is almost no risk with this game.

 

I've been trying to make that my avatar since we returned from England. After weeks of trying, I finally get it on but the resolution is terrible. Maybe someone will read this and help me.

 

send the original to me at gmail. I'll see what I can do

 

Excuse my ignorance, but I did not know Buddle was an American. For some reason I figured he was from Canada or something. Too bad he is starting to get up there in the years. He seems to be coming in to his own in the MLS and is putting together a cracker of a season at LA with Beckham and Donovan's help.

 

See, that's the thing. Buddle is in the right situation. Normally, he's a useless forward. At least, he was when he was with the Red Bulls. I know it's tempting to give Buddle another cap due to his recent success, but I think it'd be a waste of time.

 

We are absolutely kicking Barbados rears right now. They actually look good.......against Barbados. Dempsey just scored his 2nd goal. 5-0.

 

Ok, looks like I am watching a recording of the June 15th match....never mind my last post......silly me.

 

Here's the honest truth. I was bored and wanted to wind you lot up. I suceeded. Fuck, I don't think Mexico is better, in fact, I think the US is miles better and EVEN have the better players. IMO, This is no worse a wind-up than when Don tried and suceeded when he said Kobe wasn't in the top 5 players in the league. In fact, he admitted to winding me up.


As for being an actual troll. That's not the case at all. This was the only time I've actually tried to wind people up on this forum. My political and basketball opinions are my actual opinions. Could I be less emotional? Sure. Could I pick and choose when to debate? Sure. Next time there is a tribute thread, I'll leave it be.

 

The MLSers were deliberately picked from Chicago and Chivas, who don't have games this weekend.

 

Don, you should've checked the chatroom. Barry, FulhamAg, and myself were there. I watched it instead of Spain until the last 10 min. Thank god Spain won. I will root for anyone before Italy.

I love Adu and look forward to over a decade of him on the pitch for the US. Hats off to him and his parents for navigating the soccer hype. One thing I notice about him is how strong he is for his size. You will see Johnson and Beasley go down from physical play easier from Adu. He has really figured out to neutralize his size.
