Retired US Soccer / World Cup Thread (RIP)

I'd be much more into these upsets in Europe if they hadn't expanded the field and in turn watered down the qualifying process.

BREAKING: European Qualifier between Serbia and Albania suspended after players clash in Belgrade. More here: http://bit.ly/1fxuU8M #SSNHQ

Shocker!

Sounds like Albanian nationalists flew a drone with a flag of "Greater Albania" (which includes Kosovo and parts of Macedonia) over the stadium in Belgrade, low enough that one of the Serbian players was able to grab it out of the sky. That's the kind of shit that starts a war in the Balkans.
 
@BrianSciaretta: USMNT Starting XI: Rimando; Chandler, Jones, Besler, Garza; Zusi, Diskerud, Bradley, Bedoya; Dempsey (c), Altidore

Yep, Jones at CB.
 
Did anyone catch the Portugal-Denmark contest? Danes should have escaped with a draw, but an awful foul was awarded to Portugal in the waning moments. That gave the Portuguese the offensive possession needed to create one last chance, which of course Ronaldo nailed.

Nice turnout, South Florida. Richmond could've gotten that many.

Yep. I have no idea why the USSF and MLS keep trying to create a presence there. The crowd tonight it why they should never get another MLS team. Beckham's Miami team will be a way sadder version of AC Monaco.
 
Diskerud is getting better quickly. Jones just feels like a goal scoring opportunity red card in waiting as a CB, but he hasn't looked bad.
 
Bradley looks like he's only interested in running away from goal with the ball.
 
Zusi's first touch has been awful.
Hard to tell who's less interested in this match: the USMNT or the people of South Florida.
