2014 World Cup


Ja  Rhule

Recommended Posts

My guess is

G: Howard

RB: DeMarcus Beasley

CB: Matt Besler

CB: Omar Gonzalez

LB: Fabian Johnson

DM: Michael Bradley

DM: Jermaine Jones

RM: Graham Zusi

CM: Clint Dempsey

LM: Alejandro Bedoya

F: Jozy Altidore

Bench

Brad Guzan

Geoff Cameron

John Brooks

Mix Diskerud

Julian Green

Chris Wondolowski

Aron Johannsson

Stuck Green on the bench because it's a toss-up between him and Beckerman but Klinsmann has a hard on for Green.

I'm interested to see where Klinsmann goes with Beasley/Johnson. More recently, Johnson has been deployed as a LM for USMNT, while Beasley has gotten the nod at LB.

Are you guys Tim Howard fans?

 

 

He's good, he proved it with Everton, however I think Guzan and even Rimando are pretty solid as well.

 

He's a high-quality player and a good leader, but he's good for one of those "what the fug" moments every few matches. I'm just hoping it doesn't really hurt us.

He's probably the right choice back there. It just drives me crazy that he seems to punch/deflect everything rather than try and catch it. Maybe I'm over-critical as a former goalie, but I definitely notice it. He'll make a great save but someone has to clear it before there's a rebound shot.

Yea. He has a tendency to get over-ambitious with his punches too. He got caught out several times this season doing it.

Yes! Absolutely. He's one of your captain/leader figures you've all been talking about earlier in the thread.

The key thing about Donovan is is he better than who he's being dropped for? I'd put a recent hit-and-miss but proven vs too opposition player in Landon over someone like Altidore who has looked useless whenever I've seen him.

Even if Landon wouldn't be a starter he could be an influential and experienced sub - like Defoe could've been and should've been this World Cup.

In Klinsmann we/you trust, but one disagreement out of the whole of the squad selection isn't too bad going for a manager :)

    • Canales is in the middle of the most critical point of his Panthers tenure: The 2nd half of the 2nd season. Looking back here is how the other head coaches performed to this point and how their time here pivoted. Dom Capers First 26 Games: 13-13 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (1996) won final 7 games to win division, took Panthers to NFC Championship Game. Final Record/Accomplishments: 30-34; NFC West Division Title-1996 George Seifert First 26 Games: 12-14 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (2000) Finished 3-3 with mixed results in games; finished 1-15 the following season. Final Record/Accomplishments: 16-32; None. John Fox First 26 Games: 15-11 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (2003) corrected the season after a strong start and mid-year stumble to win division, Won NFC Championship Game. Final Record/Accomplishments: 73-71; (1) Conference Championship; (3) Playoff Appearances; (2) Division Titles. Ron Rivera First 26 Games: 8-18 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (2012) Won 5/6 remaining games; finished 12-4 following season and won division. Final Record/Accomplishments: 76-63-1; (1) Conference Championship; (4) Playoff Appearances; (3) Division Titles; (2) COY Awards Matt Rhule First 26 Games: 10-16 2nd Half of 2nd Season: (2021) Lost final 7 games in a row, terminated 5 games into following season. Final Record/Accomplishments: 11-27; None. Dave Canales First 26 Games: 10-16 2nd Half of 2nd Season: TBD Final Record/Accomplishments: TBD The writing was on the wall at the end of Rhule and Seifert’s 2nd season, while Capers, Fox, and Rivera all finished strong and rallied. To be fair, Capers 1997 and 1998 seasons weren’t great, but he was faced with adversity and still managed to leave with at least one successful season...thanks to the second half of his 2nd season.
    • There are always a few head scratcher calls a game on us.  That was bshit
    • Honestly unless the Packers WR in the end zone was disqualified from tackling, he was literally right behind him ready to tackle him at the 5 yard line. Probably better he dropped it field position wise unless people think Mike Jack has Ted Ginn speed or something.
