USA v. Spain
« on: Jun 03, 2008, 04:45: AM »
Goalkeepers (3): Dominic Cervi (out of contract), Brad Guzan (Chivas USA), Tim Howard (Everton FC)

Defenders (7): Carlos Bocanegra (out of contract), Dan Califf (FC Midtjylland), Steve Cherundolo (Hannover 96), Jay DeMerit (Watford FC), Frankie Hejduk (Columbus Crew), Oguchi Onyewu (Standard de Liege), Heath Pearce (Hansa Rostock)

Midfielders (6): Freddy Adu (SL Benfica), DaMarcus Beasley (Glasgow Rangers), Michael Bradley (SC Heerenveen), Maurice Edu (Toronto FC), Eddie Lewis (Derby County), Pablo Mastroeni (Colorado Rapids)

Forwards (4): Clint Dempsey (Fulham FC), Nate Jaqua (out of contract), Eddie Johnson (Fulham FC), Josh Wolff (out of contract)

i'd like to see:

doesn't matter
dempsey edu bradley beasley or dempsey mastroeni/edu (dm) bradley (am) beasley
adu
johnson/wolff

ideally, i'd like to see a draw.  i could avoid hearing "fire bradley" (with a loss) or "we can compete with the best" (with a win).  realistically, i'm expecting a loss, but i don't really give a fuck

Why would Spain play a friendly so close to the Euro 08 competition?

france is playing today.  spain and russia tomorrow.  i'm sure to work a few final kinks out.  i'd guess that many players will rest/play minimal minutes.

Makes sense. But its damn risky in terms of injury or fatigue.
