Jozy's got the right idea.

game notes

Behind the scenes of the USMNT's 2-0 win over Mexico in Columbus this February:

Back when Clint had long hair and looked creepy.


U.S. ROSTER BY POSITION
GOALKEEPERS (2): Brad Guzan (Aston Villa: 5/3 SO), Tim Howard (Everton FC: 11/7 SO)
DEFENDERS (7): Carlos Bocanegra (Rennes: 21/3), Jonathan Bornstein (Chivas USA, 2/0), Steve Cherundolo (Hannover: 18/0), Jay DeMerit (Watford: 2/0), Chad Marshall (Columbus Crew: 1/0), Oguchi Onyewu (AC Milan: 16/1), Jonathan Spector (West Ham: 2/0)
MIDFIELDERS (6): Michael Bradley (Borussia Mönchengladbach: 10/4), Ricardo Clark (Houston Dynamo: 5/0), Clint Dempsey (Fulham FC: 17/4), Benny Feilhaber (AGF Aarhus: 1/0), Stuart Holden (Houston Dynamo: 0/0), José Francisco Torres (Pachuca: 5/0)
FORWARDS (5): Jozy Altidore (Hull City: 8/5), Conor Casey (Colorado Rapids: 5/0), Brian Ching (Houston Dynamo: 15/6), Charlie Davies (FC Sochaux: 2/1), Landon Donovan (Los Angeles Galaxy: 30/11)
*numbers indicate all-time World Cup Qualifying caps/goals

My predicted starting lineup?


GK: Timmy


LB: Boca


CB: Gooch


CB: Jay


RB: Specs


LM: Clint


CM: Mikey


CM: Rico


RM: Landon
(I can never remember which sides Landon and Clint actually play on, because they can play on both, so I just put them wherever.)


F: Charlie


F: Jozy

SUBS?

Benny


Chingy

And then the last one will be determined by how the game goes, whether it's offensive or defensive.





FYI, this game will be on Telemundo (spanish) and mun2 (English) live at 4 PM EST tomorrow. FOR THE LAST TIME, THE GAME IS NOT ON ESPN. Idk, I think most of you guys know this from the posts in here, but there are still people posting on the US Soccer forum..."Is this game going to be on ESPN?" or "Is this game going to be on Univision?" and just....UGHHHHHHH.

ETA: APPARENTLY THE GAME WILL BE BROADCAST LIVE ON Terra.com AND IT'LL START AN HOUR BEFOREHAND. IT'LL BE IN SPANISH BUT IF YOU DON'T GET TELEMUNDO OR MUN2 AND HAVE NO OTHER PLACE TO WATCH IT, THERE'S YOUR LIVE STREAM! (and it looks decent quality too, judging by the other videos on there, so I'll have to ~decide~ if I wanna watch that or go to the Mexican restaurant to watch it)

ETA2: US Soccer has an update on all the different ways you can watch the game live and have confirmed the Terra stream option. :D

[waterinmylungs7.livejournal.com]

that is one good looking team. I approve of your lineup with the exception of Chingy. He may be one fine Hawaiian but he wouldn't be stating on my team (if I was Bob Bradley) like ever. So excited. Let's get it done boys :)

[jennx9.livejournal.com]

WE WILL DEFEAT MEXICO ON THEIR OWN SOIL.

[luckiey-starrz.livejournal.com]

For your personal well-being I'd suggest the stream. Just looking out for you bb. My fellow Mexicans are craaazy.

I feel like I'm cheating on my team every time I see Benny and go Nnngh...hot.

[blumenfeuer.livejournal.com]

[krysteener.livejournal.com]

mmm look at this fine ass team.

[mcnarnia.livejournal.com]

Is it true that the Mexican team for this has a lot of the same players as the Gold Cup final?

idk how many that is; the us has two carry-overs from the final (holden, marshall).

[epouvante.livejournal.com]

ahhh i'm so excited!!!! i've resigned myself to missing the first 30 or minutes though, unless i can look sad enough for my supervisor.

idk which is more mesmerizing the clint or jonathan gif.

[lurkurheartout.livejournal.com]

I'M SO EXCITED BUT I'M SO SCARED!

[luckiey-starrz.livejournal.com]

ME TOO, BB, ME TOO!

[arscelonista.livejournal.com]

So excited for this game! I just checked my channel list and I have mun2! I swear I didn't have the channel a week ago (I think)!

[luckiey-starrz.livejournal.com]

this lovely video here. :)

[jamais-senti.livejournal.com]

Ah so anxious!!! I have the DVR set to record so I'll miss it live. :(

I love that picture of Timmy. He looks so devious!

And I love the Twitter updates from the guys. :)

[sundust17.livejournal.com]

I know Charlie and Jozy have twitters, anyone else?

[cosmogeny.livejournal.com]

So if Mun2 is being unlocked for Charter, what does that mean? Do I have to do anything or will it suddenly just be there?

[luckiey-starrz.livejournal.com]

If it's not showing up by 6AM EST, which is when the free preview starts, check with your local Charter people to see if you have to do anything special, but you shouldn't have to.

[lurkurheartout.livejournal.com]
