Hopefully Howard's injury isn't too serious. we ain't winning much with Guzan chasing every ball that comes his way.

Gamboa is suspended and instead of using Everton superstart Bryan Oviedo to substitute him, our genius mnager is using a drunk driving nobody from the local league, also Johan loving Venegas is starting. What I'm saying is, you will lose despite us having a sub par lineup.

Watch Klinnsmann put out an even worse lineup, just to show you how it's done.

Really looking forward to the US fielding a baffling XI and losing the game in the last five minutes, great stuff

No changes in the starting lineup except for Brad Guzan in for Howard.

In the other game, Vargas acting like he's been stabbed after a small push.

Edit: Yeah, that is a good question, BeinSports. Why is a center-back like Besler playing Left Back?

More Edit: And good, Jones and Chandler miss the Honduras match. Maybe some in-form players will have to play now.

I watched the goals and highlights and it confirms what I saw live, that Brooks dude was insanely awful. I thought he was just some MLS clown but he plays in the Bundesliga lol.

Pulisic and Wood are really good, but the USMNT really needs a manager who knows how to organize a defense. Macho Ramirez is really good at that because despite us having cool guys Waston and Matarrita starting we also had the corpse of Michael Umaña and actual alcoholic Jose Salvatierra out there and they didnt do badly at all.

Seltzer said it as well, but every goal it was a turnover by either Jones or Bradley, leading to at least two of that back 4 being out of position because Chandler is terrible, Gonzalez thinks he's fast, and Besler is a center back playing left back. Brooks saved three shots that I know Guzan wouldn't have if it made it past. He played bad, but that back four and embarrassing midfield didn't give him any help.

I'll take Brooks all day, but leave the others out next time. Except maybe Besler.

Looks like Arena's gonna be the next head coach of the USMNT.

I for one look forward to the great American soccer pairing of Wondo and Donovan up front instead of those wastemen Pulisic and Wood.

The lineup haters are loving delusional. This is a good lineup and very attack oriented.

I hate our back 4. But now that I think about it, there's not much we can do, huh? Arriola is the kind of player that is objectively an upgrade, but I haven't been convinced by his play. And Wood is not in the best form, but I think he's a good choice.

I'm glad Yedlin is back, but Villafana isn't convincing me, and Besler and Gonzalez really are the backup duo.

A few years ago, I wouldn't have believed that we're missing John Brooks this much, but here we are.
