i didn't really notice bedoya too much (bradley was indeed the star) but i thought the usa played better when bedoya was on. he had a part in jozy's first goal i think.

then again there were i think 3 substitutions at around '60. things got a bit sloppy after that.

here some fresh info:

oh, and match info:

http://www.espnfc.com/gamecast/389009/gamecast.html

i'd suspect he'd be a starter vs. ghana since klinsmann prefers european vs mls players (zusi is mls).

but please first fact-check what i'm saying cuz it might not be 100% accurate.

D'you know anything about Timmy Chandler? As in likely to start?

I'm on summer vacation, I am taking EVERY fucking day for the next 3 weeks off too watch at least some of every game. I do it every summer, with whatever tournament is going on. I also like to watch so many morning and early afternoon games, its is coffee instead of beer, its a great change of pace from the grind of night games during the NBA season and especially every night of the playoffs..

all i know is he is one of klinsmann's german imports--raised in germany, born from an american (soldier) father, like julian green or fabian johnson and jermaine jones or john brooks.

i think fabian johnson is a safer bet from what i saw on saturday-- people were commenting that this was the same lineup he'd bring to ghana. BUT-- maybe it was all a big fakeout. i barely followed the qualifiers but i know he's kept tinkering with the lineup. i really really don't know what klinsmann is planning--nobody does really, ha ha ha. midfield diamond or flat 4-4-2 or a diamond that looks like a 4-2-3-1, it's a crapshoot for the observers.

demonrail666 · 06.10.2014, 07:07 PM

Ah, I've given up on any US players. They're either too expensive or likely not to start. Back to scouring Algeria for me.

SuchFriendsAreDangerous · 06.10.2014, 07:21 PM

!@#$%! you nailed it. I watched the WC Qualifiers and the Gold Cup and its become very clear that Klinnsman is a tinkerer with his line ups, especially substitutions. It has become predictable that around the 60th minute he will sub in a player who will within 5 minutes make a HUGE play, but what is beyond prediction is which player will that be? If anything, cutting Landon was the epitome of this. No line up or change would surprise me, and its definitely match to match.

!@#$%! · 06.11.2014, 01:49 PM

i'm trying to fix a fuckup in my team and the thing won'tlet me transfer. what the fuck? is that fixed once you pick? last league you could fuck with it until start time.

!@#$%! · 06.11.2014, 02:12 PM

ps it's fucking ridiculous that fifa DEMANDS you enter your gender when registering and it only gives you male/female option. they should learn from facefriend. anyway this reminded me of the devil (sepp blatter) and this very funny video. checkit: http://youtu.be/DlJEt2KU33I

Just onto 'transfers' and you can do it there.

demonrail666 · 06.11.2014, 02:34 PM

Just tried and the transfers section is still working ok for me.

Some news just in that Yaya Toure might've picked up an injury. I had him in my line-up and quickly swapped him out, in case anyone's in the same boat.

WCs are always blighted by injury but this one seems especially so.

h8kurdt · 06.11.2014, 02:39 PM

So when are we allowed to reveal who we've got on our squad?

demonrail666 · 06.11.2014, 02:44 PM

I dunno if we'll be able to see each other's full squads but I imagine our starting XIs will be shown after tomorrow's transfer deadline.

no no. i NUKED (deleted account) of the first one. somehow its corpse is still floating there, with dzagoev in its belly.

the thing let me re-enter as jupp^3 because it was, officially, a non-existing username. but when i rejoined the league i saw 2 jupps. like bolivia in "fringe".

the new one (at the bottom) is the one i'll be playing furreals. please nuke league member #3 if you can (between bertrand & h8kurdt). sorry.

Rob Instigator · 06.11.2014, 03:03 PM

It won't let me delete it. Don't worry, the dead one'll just naturally float to the bottom.

Rob too! Excellent!

it was a pretty good team i thought, i wanted to just sub a couple of midfielders.

but oh-- one of my last acts was to take EVERYONE off the pitch ha ha ha. yes, it will die.

oh. it's the spread. i get it now. i didn't know what the +/- meant but now i do.

i'd put my $ on croatia for that spread. no way brazil will win with a 4-goal difference on an inaugural game.
