Just curious, you've been watching #1 on our team, right? (We're the white and blue one)

+1 this is really concerning based on what we've heard about Jolly and what I've seen from AG in the past. Just not ready. I'd be okay with being proven wrong, but I'm just not sure yet

It's amazing we pulled that off after being so horribly inefficient on O down the stretch. Just chipped away

I had 19-11, but I generally agree with what you said. This year will have several bumps but hopefully we start to play good ball come February and March.

In all seriousness, as far as STL suburbs go, Chesterfield is pretty foo foo

Shabazz Napier

Tim Ream at CB right now for the US on NBC Sports against Czech Republic. His first natl team game since 2010.

Do we have a chance to get Sixth Woods? Fifth Woods?

No surprise really, but Tatum named us in his final 10

This has had a huge ripple effect in collegiate sports. Across the board, colleges are amending their policies because of the recent stuff at MIZ and Florida State, among many others. I play D2 golf and at our NCAA compliance meeting we had a lengthy discussion on this kind of stuff and how the school and the NCAA will handle these situations from now on. It's something we haven't really touched upon in the past and I think it is driven by the recent actions of Missouri athletes, among others. There is going to be a huge crackdown on this in the next couple of years as even the White House is getting involved.

win, win, win.....

SB Nation's early A10 power rankings have us at 7th: http://www.sbnation.com/college-basketball/2014/7/3/5834326/atlantic-10-basketball-preview-2015-2014

+1 You used Birdman in an argument as a plus? And tried to say Dwyane Wade can still lead a team? Amazing stupidity.

Not sure if serious....

I guess we must be watching different games. Mix provides something that very few Americans can do at this point: Creativity and understanding of the game. He creates chances and always ends up in a spot to finish. He will be a huge sub for us this WC as he's been a different maker for us off the bench in the past. Russia, Azerbaijan, anyone?

Kwamain heaved his jumpers from his ear. This kid pushes from his chest like a little kid. You have to think that his mechanics would have to get fixed when he gets to college. Shots would get blocked so often.

I think the last three tournaments have shown exactly what the US is. A top 10-20 team, but still a ways to go until they are a top 3-10 team. We have a great core of young guys that are getting huge time with the senior members- Dempsey, Bradley, etc. Guys who have "been there"

With that said, Klinsmann consistently played him at LM

These two play two completely different positions in this system. If anyone got chosen over LD, it's billiken Brad Davis. Donovan hasn't scored a goal (club or intl) since October 2013.FWIW, Klinsi also left legend Oliver Kahn off of Germany's roster in 06, and made the semis.

Strauss follows basketball. A lot of A10 basketball even. He went to VCU. The fact that he's a troll that is iffy on factual evidence is the problem.

Yeah, never let the truth get in the way of good snarkiness

Our next cycle is actually looking better than expected. Losing (maybe) Howard, Dempsey, Beasley, and Donovan, but we'll have an older and improved back line, along with improved (and hopefully playing at higher levels than any American ever) Johansson, Boyd, Agudelo, and Green. And maybe Zelalem. The future looks bright.

If I'm not mistaken, youth teams have the same eligibility rules as first teams. So no.

I have a new era billiken. One is a black with blue bill, and the SLU logo. My friend has a blue billiken new era hat with the billiken logo on the front. They're there. Try lids.com

I'd really like to see him displace Beasley at LB, especially if Klinsi isn't willing to play Fabio back there.
