Today, pretty much just Reyna and Johnson. Don't get me wrong, I think Donovan is a good player, he's just not as great as the US marketing people want you to believe. He does tend to disappear against quality teams. He's not Beasley bad, but then who is?

I love how the Czechs have never stopped going for it. Very refreshing to see.

The Czechs aren't doing themselves any favors by collecting yellow cards at this point. Some starters may have to sit out the third game.

Yeah, I thought Rosicky's was pretty careless. No need to prevent a quick free quick with 10 minutes left and winning 3-0.

In keeping with december's post, we would like the Czechs to beat up other teams this badly, so stop with the yellows already.

I wish we hadn't had the send off series. We should have headed to Europe in May and gotten a few games in against other World Cup teams.

anyone else think that was a mercy call by the ref on steiner? he just didnt want him to get the ball to place it in the back of the net for us

Here's hoping the Czech Republic does the same to Italy and Ghana, that the US can win their final 2 and Italy and Ghana draw today. Even if we do advance, we're looking at Brazil in the 2nd round, ouch.

So here is to Koller's quick recovery!!

We will need him against Italy, to have a chance in the event we beat Italy.

The teram should look quite a bit different for the match against Italy. This group of players in this formation looked lost out there. Also should work on some precision passing drills or something.

at least it is over. we might get to see a good game this afternoon, and brazil plays tomorrow and that could be entertaining if croatia puts up a fight. heres to hoping for some better games in the future, and for a hell of a game from ghana

donovans problem today was he was played at forward, a place he does not have success at at the international level. when he dropped back into midfield, he created a lot more.

My feelings, exactly. I have more faith in Bruce Arena than ennis, however.

Beasley played like absolute crap today. His first touch was always out of control, and he was extremely passive. He should never see the field again during this World Cup.

Eddie Johnson should never leave the field either.

The first goal was Lewis' fault, he pushed up and never came back. I knew that he was going to cost us a goal when I saw him constantly cheating up in the friendlies. Pope screwed up as well in letting Koller get behind him, but his mistake was not nearly as costly as Lewis' mistake.

Neither of our starting outside backs played well at all. If it wasn't for Onyewu, the score would have been much worse.

However we were absolutely dominated in the midfield. Nedved and Rosicky ate our lunch all day long.

The team is D-E-A-D. They won't come back from such a demeaning ass kicking in front of billions of viewers.

Between now and Italy, they will be so trashed in the media that they will lose whatever misguided confidence they had going into this game. They have been exposed, big-time, and that is an adrenalin shot to the confidence of future opponents.

I am shocked this is the best collection of athletes we can field. Ordinary by almost every athletic measureable to say the least.

Yeah, I agree with a lot of what's been said. There needs to be some lineup changes. We've got to be able to push it to the wings and try and spread the field more when we attack.

They have numbers on us everytime in the box. We're being so patient w/ everything that they always got midfielders back and had time to set up. If we're gonna go quick we should take it straight to em, but if we're gonna slow it down like we did we've got to swing it out wide. Frustrating...

Well lucky for me I ran into a TV at lunch by accident and saw we were losing 2-0, then saw ANOTHER goal.

Except it was on the spanish TV and for some reason their clock said 45:00 and I thought it was the end of the half. OK, we'll come back and I'll see it at home on DVR. Then I realized the game was OVER!

At least I saved myself the pain of watching it tonight.

I've already seen international media and fans on message board trashing the US and very happy over the loss.

Just to answer the question, since I didn't see it get answered, McBride was subbed out of the game for Josh Wolff. But what confused me by this was why pull McBride when it obviously wasn't his fault no balls were getting crossed into the box? If anything, I think they should've pulled Convey or Beasley because they both played terribly, definitely one more than the other and you all can figure that out.
