US Men's National Soccer Team Thread: USA #1 - Page 200 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Our line up has been announced, only difference to my prediction below is Webster (Hearts) in at CB and Mulgrew out to LB instead of Wallace.

McGregor (Rangers)

Bardsley (Sunderland)...Caldwell (Wigan)...Mulgrew (Celtic)...Wallace (Rangers)

Brown (Celtic)...McArthur (Wigan)

Phillips (Blackpool)...Maloney (Wigan)...Bannan (Aston Villa)

Miller (Cardiff)

besides lol goals

I'm looking for a clean sheet. We are home, and Scotland have very little offensive firepower relative to sides we've played in the last year like France, Belgium, Mexico, etc.

for us my guess if we come out in 4-3-2-1:

howard

cherundolo ---- bocanegra ---- cameron ---- castillo

bradley ---- jones ---- johnson

dempsey ---- donovan

altidore

with a 4-4-2 you just pull donovan back to rm i guess. or maybe he starts on the bench. in the second half i imagine we'll see some of Wondo and Jose Torres. Edu over Jones wouldn't surprise me either. Or Bradley in the Jones spot and Torres starting. We definitely have option.

Totally spitballing of course.

Ives says that jozy (not released yet) and deuce (nagging injury) aren't playing today, so that might cause a bit of a shake up.

Correct and correct. AZ refused to release Jozy until the FIFA mandatory release date. Clint should be fine in the next week or so, but isn't ready yet. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw all three of Wondo/Gomez/Boyd tonight in some fashion.

I listened in for Scotland, but muted for USA. I've heard that song enough times already. And better renditions for sure.

Btw, I hadn't seen these kits before. They are ghastly.
