USA upcoming Friendlies....

Thread for the like 5 of us who care about the US national team. They play two games soon.


3/25- Ecquador
3/28- Guatemala

who do you think should start in goalie?

Howard or Keller?

 

Keller for me. Howards a diddy

 

neither, play brad friedel or has he retired

 

he retired 1 or 2 years ago

 

Mike Richter

 

smartass

 

You should play Howard if you want to win, I watch the Bundesliga each week and it's become a game to count how many mistakes Keller makes in a given match.

 

I prefer Howard as well. Howard held mexico to nothing the last game so he should get a go again.

 

I'd go for tim * Howard*****!@

 

is the reading keeper an american?

 

ya he is

 

whats his name and is he in the sqaud?

i think hes better than the other two mentioned.

 

marchus Hahnemann and he doesnt play often with US squad

 

hes better than keller and maybe better than howard in fact he is better than howard now i remember some of the goals hes let in this season.

 

I would go with Tim Howard as the starter in goal for the USA now on current form and what's available given Freidel is retired.

 

US really needs to introduce a few new keepers into the squad Freidel's retired and Keller is pushing 38 this year so Howard really should be your No.1 for the CONCACAF Gold cup, but since these are friendlies why don't you add some young keepers just to give them experience, someone like Troy Perkins or Brad Guzan.

well as some of you might have heard the US beat #24 ranked Ecuador 3-1.

Landon Donovan had a hattrick but our defense was awful most of the game excluding Conrad and Bocanegra.

Donovan (1,66,67)

Playing Guatemala on wednesday

 

Yes it was a good win, Howard played well made one mistake and got away with no card, he handled the ball outside the box although it could be said he was bowled over onto the ball?
Donovans goals were terrific what first class finishing, the USA are starting to play better!
