2009 Dynamo & USMNT Soccer Thread

Our defense couldn't have been more rock solid. We were under siege the entire game, and still came away with a clean sheet in only our second victory vs. a no. 1 ranked team ever. I'm very proud of our guys. Now rest up and get ready for Brazil, because, let's face it, south africa is only there because they're the hosts.

Yeah, that red card was total crap. he slid in low, head on, and got the ball first. hard challenge, definitely. Yellow, maybe. Red? absolutely not. That's now 3 send-offs in 4 games for the us squad. not good.

Yep, we sat back and played the counters. The first half showed the good and not so good of Altidore, but thankfully the good was really good. He took a position on Capdevila and totally pwned him.

Dempsey at forward is something to keep an eye on. Davies actually played a decent game. With Ching and Adu (please!) ready as well, there is finally some depth there, which was a problem in past international competitions.

With Spain, this plan worked. I don't think this gameplan will be nearly as effective against Brazil, assuming they take care of business tomorrow. But that talk is for another day... time to celebrate this before the CWS tonight.
