1. WTF?

Which is worse, aiming the camcorder at the TV or not bothering to at least put the camcorder down when you're aiming it at the TV?


What friggin' century is this?



Oh yeah, sweet goal. Nice action on the ball.

2. Heh... I'm just glad there was something on YouTube

where you could get a good look at it.


I wish I could find video of this Dartmouth guy's goal last week. Freaky stuff. :)

3. Fantastic goal.

Freddy brings two things the U.S. team really needs - speed and skill on the flank opposite Beasley (Donovan plays better just behind the strikers, Dempsey is probably better in the center of midfield, and he's a different kind of player), and that kind of touch on the set pieces.

Also - Cooper and Altidore looked like a lethal striker pairing. They're both big, strong guys, and Jozy is so fast that, once he gets the technical side of his game under control, he's got the sky as his limit. Cooper looks like he might be better than Brian Ching right now, and he definitely looks more like the McBride replacement the team has been looking for.

Those three played well. I liked the way Parkhurst played, too, but he didn't have much in the way of talented attackers to go up against. Oh - and Guzan looks like he's developing nicely. He made a couple of tough saves, and did a good job of commanding the area.
