USMNT Talk

I know Yedlin is out for the red. Is anyone else out because of Yellow accumulation?

No. But 7 are in danger of missing the Semifinals.

Yellows USA

V ColUmbia
Bedoya

V CR
Fabian
Brooks

V Paraguay
Yedlin (2) suspended for quarter final
Bradley
Wood
Orozco
Jones

Yellows reset after QF.

So anyone who doesn't get a yellow gets a clean slate?

That's how I understand it.

And because I know you're a 'like to read the rules' type of guy.

For the record, Ecuador yellows:

V Brazil
Juan Paredes
Enner Valencia
Jamie Ayovi

V Peru
Carlos Gruezo
Gabriel Achilier (2) missed Haiti


V Haiti
None

So, they have 4 players facing suspension with another yellow.

But that's irrelevant because they're going to lose.

Don't forget Nagbe scored the only goal in our friendly vs Ecuador before the Copa. That should be factored in. Also, I might want to take back the idea of Orozco starting at RB, may rather give Timmy Chandler the start instead.

I believe Orozco replaced Chandler on the roster due to injury.

Then orozco it is. I noticed chandler in the Ecuador lineup from the friendly and it made me think "why not play him?" Now I know. Thanks!

Fell bad for this kid. Can't seem to heal right and he's young. He also probably lost any place he had on the USMNT with Morris, Green, Pulisic, Wood, Altidore (he's still young!) & maybe Boyd if he can stay healthy all taking up spots. He probably should have played for Iceland, maybe things would have gone differently and he'd be in the Euros right now.

Yes I left out Dempsey & Wondo, I think Wondo's time is done after the Copa and Dempsey has till the next Cup. Unless Jurgen dumps him in cup camp like he did to Landon to prove a point.

If he heals, then he'll stay in the national team picture. His dribbling is ridiculous and has a better head around goal than Altidore ever will. Hip injuries are bad though... Hoping he makes it through this setback.

 

[Gotham Gator]

It's looking really bad for Aron J. Nothing but setbacks just as his career was taking off. I don't think this has anything to do with U.S. or Iceland. This is just one of those things. Hopefully, he can put it back together.

 

[RockShrimp]

Sorry, I was on vacation... I'll see what my Fiancé thinks of the idea.

Though I'm not sure how into it Jack will be, since I make fun of his dad (or whoever that guy is) online a lot.

Well, he came to the states at age 14 and he's now 19, so he should be eligible for the green card sometime this year. Then I guess the 5 year countdown begins from green card to citizenship.... Unless of course RockShrimp wants to do the Forums a solid and find herself a highly skilled, & younger, British accent to tie the knot with - thus lowering the wait to 3 years?.?.?

So without wood, jones, Bedoya, let's see your lineup. I go:
Guzan
Yedlin-Cameron-brooks-besler
Zusi-Bradley-Nagbe
Zardes-Dempsey-Johnson

If you need goals late you put in Pulisic for Besler and move Johnson back to the back 4.

 

[QuigrNYCFC]

Guzan
Yedlin - brooks - Cameron - Beasler
Johnson - Bradley - zardes - zusi
Dempsey - Pusilic

Or

Guzan
Yedlin - brooks - Cameron - Johnson
Zusi - Bradley - beckerman - zardes
Dempsey - wondo

 

[LionNYC]

----Wondolowski---Dempsey--Zardes---
-------Beckerman--Bradley--Zusi--------
--Johnson--Brooks--Cameron--Yedlin--
-------------------Guzan--------------------

I thought I was the only one who noticed that after the goal.

 

[Vito]

If we face Argentina in the semis do we change up formations for one that's more defensive and just try to score on counters with speed?

We change the formation because 2-3 starters are going to be suspended.
