WAKE UP USA FFS

This is an Everton Under Moyes Special. Howard is even in net

So, I went to the airport today to welcome some of our troops back from the Middle East. Just so happens the official USMT bar is right down the corner and picked to the gills with a bunch of "outlaws" as they are known here. Completely packed, so I'm sent walking. Finally found a place that is not completely full (third place I've checked) and they have the match on, but no sound because they are playing hair band crap. Don't care. We are going to win and people from the States are actually getting into it. Come On Ya Yanks!!

Ha! Asamoah Gyan doing a Shabba Ranks impression on his Twitter background picture

I predict Ghana will get a penalty and Howard will save it with his legs

 

[Diogenes the Cynic]

Michael Bradley showing his world class credentials by sending a ball sailing into touch. Exactly where he meant to put it.

The American Gerrard

 

[moosed]

Bradley has been really really crap

 

[Rook]

I'll be happy with them shooting at distance at Howard all match.

 

[Walken]

It's typical isn't it?

Some peeps on here big him up and then he fails to deliver, making them look like strawbs

For what it's worth, I've seen him play well in the past. I remember his dad used to manage the US and I thought "You're only in the team cos your Dad is the manager lad", but then I saw him play and realised he was there on merit

if by merit you mean he can get into a side where altidore is a starter, then yeah

 

[Rook]

The American Gerrard

Been his biggest supporter back in the idiots crying nepotism days, but he's been terrible. In his defense he should be playing where Jones is. The only attacking mid we have besides Dempsey is Donovan.

 

[RaleighBlue]

Lol. This is brutal.

Bradley looks godawful.

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

I honestly don't think I've ever seen a worse player than Bradley.

 

[bluemangroup]

The American Gerrard

He's one of two players who can put the ball on a sixpence. But only if the sixpence is out of play.

 

[Rook]

Yes Ghana don't exploit the wings.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Klinsman should have brought Donnavon

At first I felt they didn't need him, but now I've changed my mind. He just brings an intangible that the squad at large lacks

USA really riding their luck here
