  That is a good line of thinking. Not opposed at all. Not really sure there is a huge skill gap between the two (like with Jozy), so you cant really say for certain 1 has to start over the other.
  
  If Jurgen thinks we will have more of an outside attack with crosses, I think he goes Wondo, for the reasons you laid out. If he wants to attack up the middle with Bradley and Dempsey again and use Zusi and the ??? as outside options for lay offs and such, I think the ??? will end up being AJ.

  Completely agree.
  
  Honestly, IDC who is up top. We need Bradley to have a better game. If he plays as well as we know he can, we can beat anybody.

  Should be a good 2nd half in England-Uruguay. Two teams fighting for their lives.
• sportchampps

  Suarez gets a goal England in trouble
• Fab1b

  

  Suarez put Uru on top with a nice header. Good game so far. First game today was good as well w/Coffee beating Soap 2-1
• Fab1b

  

  Good start for Uruguay to the half should of had 2 netted

  Rooney finally breaks thru 1-1
• like_that

  

  I literally was just writing a post asking why Rooney doesn't do well at the international stage, and of course i reversed jinxed it lol.

  It's not that though. Gerrard hit the ball which means even because he was in an offside position it's not called there.
• I Wear Pants

  Should have played Lamps instead of Gerrard. Stevie G hasn't been good in big games this year.
• sportchampps

  I thought Gerrard played good. He doesn't have much of a shot but his ball distribution was great.

  Alexi Lalas is such a pompous fuck. Michael Ballack is calling him out right now on his BS and I love it.

  He is the worst. Such a douche...he pissed me off so bad before the us ghana game. "I would love to say us wins this but I have to be smart and pick with my head and not my heart, so I'm picking a draw" oh shut the fuck up lalas. The US is ranked 20 spots higher than Ghana you tard.

  Did you just see that segment? Ballack would fucking own him in anything soccer related.

  I did not. I'm sure he was being a pompous ass, like you said.
• Automatik

  

  Basically he was all doom and gloom because Jozy wasn't playing. Then Ballack called him out because Lalas got pissy over Jurgen's "can't win the WC" comments.
  
  Something along the lines of, "you give Jurgen shit because he says it's not realistic to win, but you are giving up because you can't play ONE striker." Then Lalas backpedaled and deflected like a bitch.
