I realize this game is at sort of a terrible time for most people to watch on a wed. but doesn't mean this can't go up anyways. If anyone is watching feel free to live react away or just pic spam, its all good. Enjoy.

PS: The game is on at 2pm EST on ESPN2/ESPN3.com

I am looking forward to this game and seeing all the little kids get a turn. I hope we see Agudelo/Mix/Bunbury/Agbossoumonde in the second half. Curious if we'll see Specs at all.

As this is a young and inexperienced team I will spare everyone my traditional Johnathan Bornstein rant however I will not spare my Findley rant. Why call in Teal Bunbury and Juan Agudelo and then play Findley? This is the sort of game where you have to go all in with the youngsters. Its an amazing opportunity to start these guys in an environment that no matter how many MLS games they play they wont experience. 60,000 fans all cheering for South Africa. The kind of environments that if they hope to make it with the USMNT they will have to play in constantly in places like Honduras, Costa Rica and Mexico. It just seems so pointless to me.

Thank you for your time.

hahaha I know, I'm okay with jonny this time...

DUDE I KNOW RIGHT? What is the point of bringing these kids in if they're only getting sub minutes? I'm trying to be reasonable about it, but I just really want to see these kids play.

re: JB; He actually had a decent world cup, which many people like to overlook. Also, there really is no one who would play LB right now anyway. I don't think Specs should, even JB has been playing better. Heath Pearce is in playoffs, and none of the younger guys have really shown they can play that position well (except for maybe one of the LAG guys, but they were in playoffs).

I honestly don't think JB will play in 2014 unless he improves IMMENSELY at Tigres. I say this as a fan.

and I completely agree with your comments on Findley

I think I'm going to be sticking around here for the game. How I've missed LRing with you all.

IMMA BE SO PISSED IF 2022 GOES TO QATAR. FOR A MULTITUDE OF REASONS.

[nachojeez]

it might be cynical of me to think this but if 2022 does go to Qatar I'll think that some kind of ~deal~ went on...it's fifa after all...

[whatsername104]

o for sure. they just said Qatar is helping keep Septic as president. Like, FUCK OFF.

Also Soccer America did a piece saying our current elections are bad for the WC Bid, because in order for it to happen, legislation has to be passed or something, and it will be hard to do with the new Congress
