US soccer vs Czech tonight on ESPN

[pstall]

Be good to see the boys and what some possible sets look like.

Might be good for a few but they will still be tweaking the lineup for the final roster spots. I'm guessing 4-1 Czech.

Beat me to it.

Pumped as all hell to see Buddle.

gooooal

[Ranucci's Big Butt BBQ]

I was close.

[tarheelblue89]

That D was atrocious.

[Delhommey]

What brief bit I watched the back line looked bewitched, bothered and bewildered.

[Bobby]

I don't think we have a single left back in this entire country.

[pstall]

Don't want to show all your cards gentlemen. But, umm..yeah...that D needs to eat it's Wheaties.

Size and D offsets speed.

[Carolina Husker]

Gooch getting beat on that header is just unacceptable.

[Miaoww]

Yeah, I'm terrified about our opening group game now.

[mr beauxjangles]

It was by and large the B team.

My takeaways:

1) Holden looked good

2) At this moment, Gooch appears to be a liability. He was soft on multiple plays, not just that header.

3) Most impressed with Herculez Gomez. Made good runs, the right runs, was very energetic, and put himself in the right place on multiple occasions. Gomez should come off the bench up top. I liked what I saw from him better than what I saw from Buddle. I've been watching Buddle all season, but Gomez just seemed to have a better feel for the game yesterday.

the Czechs have really gotten alot stronger over the last number of years as well.

They ran us off the pitch in the last WC. THAT was ugly.
