The Yanks take on the Oranje today at 2:30p on ESPN2.

This will be a nice test of the Men's Nation team before the World Cup starts in South Africa in June.

The last few friendly matches the Yanks have been without their European based players and had poor showings against El Salvador (2-1 W on stoppage time goal), Honduras (1-3 L), Denmark (1-3 L), and Slovakia (0-1 L).

Let's hope the US can put on a strong showing against a perennial powerhouse, the Netherlands (FIFA Ranking 3rd). Our European based players will be back for this match, by the end of the day we should have a better idea of how the US might fair in June.

Let's go Yanks! Time to serve warning to the world - DTOM - Don't Tread On Me!

Back in the mid nineties I was in Louisville with a Dutch dude doing a big install. After work we hurried to a sports bar to see the Orange team play in the World Cup and it was interrupted to show a white Bronco driving down a highway, it was pretty funny.

Too late of a recovery....:boxing_smiley: :D

No problem, I looked for a thread on the match before posting. I thought there were a few soccer fans on the board who might be interested!

I didn't expect to beat the Dutch.

Meanwhile, Eng is 1-1 with Egypt. But i don't think Rooney is even playing. Oh and that capt fiasco..

I didn't either pstall, just hopeful of a nice showing.

As I typed this GOAL USA!! Nice to get on the board before the end of the match!

Carlos Bocanegra (89)

Yeah England is a mess, they will get it together for the tournament though.

I would not mind seeing the Dutch lift up that cup at the end, if not us.

We REALLLLLLLLLLLLY need Clint back.

Yeah I don't hold any grudges towards the Dutch. One of the best national teams to have never won a cup, so I could see pulling for them.

Just to prove no hard feelings I'll probably partake in a few Heineken tonight! :D

      That's usually the narrative when there aren't highly touted QBs or DEs. Off ball LB is the position this year. And there are some really good prospects. WRs are deep too. No generational level guys but very deep with solid options.  I would target CJ Allen in the 1st. I want a real ILB. Not a pass rusher that can move back. Not a safety that can move up. He's smart, tough, instinctive and durable. Dude had surgery on his meniscus and missed one game. One game. And... he's only played LB. Watching him control guards with his hands andsift through the garbage to get to the ball is refreshing. That's my guy in the 1st.

      It’s always a weak draft, next year is always better according to the draftniks. This is a weak draft for QB, WR, and TE. Theres only a few true LT. RB and DB are average. It’s a good class for the rest of the Oline, Dline, Edge, and LB.

      there is only a handful of blue chippers (Reece, Styles, Downs, Love, Bain) but overall its a pretty deep draft with solid players.  Really deep on the defensive side particularly lb's so that is in our favor.  Thats why I have been saying if styles is not there at 19 (he wont be) then try to pull a Rams/Falcons type deal and get another 2nd and first for next year.  IMO there really isnt much difference in quality of players at the back half of the first into the 2nd
