Per @ussoccer, we're wearing red tonight, with starters 1-11, which is nice and cute and traditional and all except


I get that tradition, but I hate it; I like that we just about always put names on the back, because that way you can tell who's doing what without a program.

quote:

When then lineups are posted later this evening, fans will notice a distinct pattern to the jersey numbers. Going back to an historical tradition, Jurgen Klinsmann will assign the numbers 1-11 to the starters each game, and 12-18 for the reserves.

Numbers will be only thing printed on the jersey, which means no names on the back. One of the main goals is to make sure that everyone is focused on the most important thing on the uniform - the crest representing the United States.

Silly US Soccer, don't draw attention to it!

That's... actually a pretty good lineup, given the players available. You could make an argument for Beckerman over Edu, but :geno:

I think we'll see a lot of changes at half time, especially since Torres and Shea have played so drat much recently. I'd be surprised if Beckerman got much less than 45 minutes of play.

Not a terrible half for us. Shea is quality. Rodgers had a pretty poor half on both sides of the ball. Dempsey didn't do much other than the ball of Mignolet's face. Jozy was bad. Shocking. Torres seemed hit and miss.

The back four seemed pretty solid to me.

Jozy was just god awful. Is Agudelo on the bench?

This seems like a reasonable place to ask in regard to our national team: Why do the Olympics put age restrictions on the men's team? I don't think they have it for the women's team, or most sports in general.

The Olympics wants to be the most prestigious event in every sport. The World Cup will always overshadow the Olympics so they just turn into a silly U-23 tournament instead.
