NFT: USMNT vs Honduras - World Cup Qualifying - tonight 10:30p

B in ALB : 3/24/2017 1:36 pm
Well it begins for real tonight - the Bruce Arena Part II era and the road to Russia. Game is in San Jose, hence the late start on FoxSports1. Should be an interesting lineup and everybody's favorite whipping boy Wondo is back and he's gonna poach absolutely zero goals for this team. Looking forward to the game tonight and seeing if the train is back on the tracks.

about this one then some world cup matches... which is odd, but true for me
apropos of nothing

I straight up forgot about Honduras. I mean the whole country. Saw this thread title and thought "oh yeah, that's a place".
3-5-2?  
Joey from GlenCove : 3/24/2017 1:40 pm : link
Been hearing rumors.

But i expect something like this 4-1-3-2.

I 100% percent expect dempsey and altidore to start

villafnia - Orazco - Brooks - Cameron
Bradley
Pulisc -Sasha - Nagbe
Altidore dempsey (stacked)

Also i expect a

5-4-1 from hobduras

and teh game time is brutal
Bobby Wood  
B in ALB : 3/24/2017 1:44 pm : link
Fabian Johnson and Deandre Yedlin all out with injuries.

Game won't actually start until 10:50p. What the fuck.

ColHowPepper : 3/24/2017 1:55 pm : link
heh, Wondo....he can suck off Syndee
my favorite whipping boy GZusi back, because of injuries in the back
add Lichaj to Fabian so they're going to give Graham a go, even though he's flamed out there as well

Our favorite whipping boy Timmy C is unavailable, along with Jermaine (who is Terps' favorite whipping boy, but I think he's done ok, he is what he is), because of suspensions

Hopefully, we get a good look at Lietget, Dax. Losing Wood is a pity
the time differences  
John in Loudoun : 3/24/2017 2:06 pm : link
are going to really suck for the European based players. It would be like playing 4am in the morning. I hope they've adjusted. Need a positive result here in the worst way.
Can someone explain, simply, what the USMNT has to do  
AJ23 : 3/24/2017 2:15 pm : link
to play in the 2018 World Cup.
Top 3 Teams  
jv : 3/24/2017 2:27 pm : link
get automatic World Cup births. Last World Cup Cycle Honduras snagged the 3rd spot with 15 points. The 4th place team can qualify for the World Cup if they win a home and home playoff against Asia's 5th place team. Last cycle Mexico accomplished that with 11 points and qualified for the World Cup.

It's complicated.

If USMNT won every game left (highly unlikely) they would get 24 points. Still plenty of points left on the table. If they could come away from these 2 games with a total of 4 points they'll be in good shape.
Thanks

jv. I admittedly don't keep up with it like I should, but I enjoy rooting for the team and really hope we can earn a bid.
Arena Has A tough Challenge  
Jeffrey : 3/24/2017 2:54 pm : link
With the loss of Woods and Johnson he is already handicapped. Hope that Nagbe and Pulisic come through and doubt that Dempsey can play the full 90.
I say damn  
Tim in Capital City : 3/24/2017 4:03 pm : link
close to zero percent chance that Arena trots out a 3-5-2. The lineup that most of the reporters are predicting is something like:
Howard
Cameron Gonzo Brooks Villafana
Bradley Lletget
Pulisic Deuce Nagbe
Jozy.
I'm excited.  
Mr. Bungle : 3/24/2017 4:49 pm : link
WCQ and a nice, fresh start.
This 1050 start is ridiculous  
B in ALB : 3/24/2017 8:42 pm : link
I'm getting too damn old for this shit.
I love the lineup  
Joey from GlenCove : 3/24/2017 10:13 pm : link
Howard
Villafara brooks gonazlez Cameron
Bradley
Nagbe lletget
Pulisic
Dempsey altidore

We're done fucking around with that halfwit Klinsmann

Back to big boy football, finally.
These kits are terrible  
Joey from GlenCove : 3/24/2017 10:54 pm : link
And yes 11 o'clock start
Is absurd. Couldn't start this at 10?
Let's go!!!  
Mr. Bungle : 3/24/2017 10:55 pm : link

Hope Michael Bradley can have some type of renaissance  
nyjuggernaut2 : 3/24/2017 10:55 pm : link
because he has been pretty bad with the USMNT lately.
Great start  
pganut : 3/24/2017 11:00 pm : link
That was nice to watch.
That's a pretty good start

Joey from GlenCove : 3/24/2017 11:30 pm : link
This is sort of a joke for pulisic
This is fun!  
Mr. Bungle : 3/24/2017 11:31 pm : link
And it ain't no international friendly, either!
Vintage Dempsey to fight through the defender  
odunde : 3/24/2017 11:34 pm : link
But that pass from pulisic....
The U.S. needs fullbacks  
Go Terps : 3/24/2017 11:41 pm : link
I am so tired of seeing Cameron shoe horned into that spot.
Are you kidding me?  
pganut : 3/24/2017 11:59 pm : link
Unbelievable. Arena has them cranking offensively.
Altidore playing well  
Joey from GlenCove : 3/25/2017 12:00 am : link
