Well that sure is bold. Altidore and Boyd are too similar IMO so i would drop one of them and put Torres behind Altidore/Boyd and Dempsey. Also definitely would keep Fabian Johnson in there. I knocked around the idea of Shea at LB yesterday with Johnson in front of him cutting in. I really think this is Torres' game to dominate.red_WHITE&BLUE said:The rematch will be interesting tonight, with Boca back.

I don't know but I didnt know that so man of you didn't care about the national team until I came here. I sort of feel bad for you. I care about the USMNT as much or maybe even more that THFCCripps14 said:All my Scottish mates calling for Levein to be sacked.
In a way I'm jealous of them that they can still get so passionate about their national side. I watched the highlights of tonights game without knowing the score and just couldn't really muster up any great feelings of anxiety, nervousness or excitement. Whereas yesterday during Andy Murray's final I was a quivering nervous wreck. (And I don't even like tennis that much) What's happened to me?

Oh, no I'm really high on Boyd. I think him and Altidore are almost a toss up right now.red_WHITE&BLUE said:SanDiegoYiddo said:Well that sure is bold.

I say Boyd because he is scoring goals, confident at the moment, and from his media articles, pumped to play for the national team. With 25k+ fans all waving flags this is going to be a highly patriotic game and its gonna pump up alot of the players and I think Boyd has the most to gain from that at the moment. Any lack of speed on his part will be picked up by Torres and Shea and there is no doubt Boyd is stronger than Gomez. Either way, this game will be 100% different than the away game, better pitch, 9/11, the defensive line back etc... For Jamaica...lighting doesn't strike twice.
USA 2 (minimum) Jamaica 0
Belgian Spur said:Watched Belgium vs Croatia yesterday , it was the old song again : We should've won but a lapse in concentration and a lack of world class striker always does us (or even a mediocre striker)
Apart from that we were the better team , esp after the break where Hazard finally showed what he is capable of in the Belgian team. Dembele was decent and Vertonghen gave his all as per usual , lots of offensive impulses and lots of battling with Mandzukic.
