Not taking Ching was a risky move. That leaves this team without a true "target" player. They seem to try and use Altidore this way sometimes, but if Altidore is hurt or limited that leaves them with Zero experience up front and without anyone capable of playing that type of hold up play. A Striker's job is to finish, but Ching was the only forward candidate who has showed that he has the passing ability and vision to set up his teammates. I understand Bob wants to play tucked in and rely on the counter-attack and needs forwards to stretch the field, but I think before the tournaments over we will see more than one situation where everyone is saying, " This would have been a great spot to bring in Ching".
Anyone going to any of the watch parties Saturday?

I am watching from my couch. Too intense. Been looking forward to this game for awhile. Getting just a point would be huge.
Don't tread on me!

3.5 goals. Heck, lucky if a team scores 2 goals in a game.
OK, I tried to watch the USA/England match, I can't get into soccer. Any game with 5 shots on goal just does not get my excitement meter cranked up. To me, watching soccer is like watching the Capers/Carr offense. Terrible. Then again, I am sure most of you guys not born in the north cannot watch hockey which I love with the speed and hitting. Enjoy with Cup. I am now patiently waiting for training camp to start.

Rico had a rough start to that game. Too bad. He's usually a rock back there. If Michael Bradley is also going to play like a d-mid though like Rico, then might as well try Stuie in the center mid role to go with Bradley. Or Torres. Or shift Donovan inside and move Beasley or Stuie outside. Having both Rico (who I like out there a lot) with Bradley though just seems too defensive, which is kinda odd since reports are that Bradley is effective as an offensive player. Just don't pair Edu with Rico or Bradley.
Regardless, the USMNT has a decent chance to sneak into the top spot with an excellent performance on Friday... a very worthwhile proposition if they can win out with a good scoring differential if it means not drawing Germany in the knockout round. I'll be interested to see how Bradley changes his starting 11 for this one... I think he needs to get a lot of goals... a 1-0 win would work, but I have to believe England could gain a GD advantage with that kind of result.
