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

      Round 1: The Carolina Panthers select OT Monroe Freeling (Georgia)

      I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?

      LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.

      After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
