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

Dutch cwg. Oh and thanks for this thread. Totally forgot* takes food to breakroom and kicks out all the Judge whatever watchers*

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

      The Evolution of the Panthers WR Room from 2023 to 2025

      I'm more impressed with the UDFA that the guys they have drafted in the first the last 2 years. A whole lot of prove it is still needed before any improvement should be talked about seriously.

      PANTHERS @ HURRICANES ROUND 3 GAME 1

      By PantherChris · Posted

      While I don't believe its a must win, (we have been better on the road this post season) it is definitely A NEED TO WIN the longer this series goes the more pronounced the Canes advantage on rest and health will be! If we hold serve at home in games 1 and 2 guaranteeing a 6 game minimum series for them if we lose the road games..... by the game 4 and 5 I expect them to be beat they have played A LOT OF HOCKEY the last three years, they have MINIMAL rest off a more physical than one might have expected series vs the leafs.... you know Tampa took their pound of flesh in round 1 from them. Combine all that with the fact that even though this year's canes squad isn't as talented as last years this IS a better squad than the one they swept last time that had McKenzie Mckeathern on line 1 Turbo with a broken hand a banged uo and eventually concussed Slavin (and even though it was a sweep 6 OTS and 4 1 goal losses is hardly dominant)  This year Bob hasn't been superman (hes probably gonna still have a great save percentage agiast us just a side effect of our style) Thatchuk is maybe 50% (3 game winners agiast us) their defense no longer has Gudas and several other downgrades.  While the Canes have a healthy and performing Svechnikov along with other big guys to counteract florida like Carrier, Jankowski, Robinson.   I by know means think it will happen but I either see this as a low scoring dog fight or a series were the canes surprise and end up dominating.
