AUDub 11,148 Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Qualifying resumes tomorrow against St. Vincent and the Grenadines, who we have crushed in our previous meeting and should crush again, followed by current group leader Trinidad & Tobago Tuesday. Will be interesting to see how we do without Dempsey. Would love to see some good play from Wood and Altidore up front. Be nice to win the group and get hot going into the hexagonal.

mustache eagle 2,405 Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I hope wood plays and has his previous form. Altidore probably won't play full games due to his injury recovery. I actually haven't even looked at the roster yet. I know jones and Dempsey are out so there should be some opportunities to be had. Home some of the young guns step up.

Home some of the young guns step up. Altidore has been in fine form for Toronto FC so the injury is likely a thing of the past. Wood scored the goal of the week in his Bundesliga debut for Hamburg SV so he remains in good form too. And yeah, hopefully we get a healthy dose of Nagbe, Pulisic and the other youngsters this afternoon and Tuesday. There are high expectations for Wood. Scored the most goals ever by an American last season in the history of the two top flights in Germany, and he's expected to continue getting better.

mustache eagle 2,405 Posted September 3, 2016 Share Posted September 3, 2016 From what I read, the yanks dispatched a lesser team just like a better team should. Sounds promising. people commenting made it sound like zusi had a rough game relatively speaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUDub 11,148 Posted September 7, 2016 Author Share Posted September 7, 2016 Cameron fouled right inside the box. Ref gives it just outside at the corner on the right. Can't blame him. Easy when you have replay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
