And the game hasn't even started yet.
With 30minutes to game time, I found out that Bradley went with experience over talent (yet again). Has he not been burned by this multiple times (Beasley)? The US's stone-faced leader is starting Brian Ching and Steve Cherundolo over Jozy Altidore and Jon Spector. The Cherundolo pick doesn't irk me that much, but how can he possibly sit Altidore? The dude is the US's best scorer, bar none. What possible advantage does Ching have?
This is very angering. I'm sure the Mexican defense is quaking in their boots knowing that Ching will be lining up at striker. For their careers, Ching has 9 goals in 41 caps. Altidore has 7 goals in 16 caps. And one of Jozy's goals was against a full-strength Spain. Don't get this decision. Not at all.
By the way, the hype for this game is intense! I can't believe how much news/coverage they've got for a non-World Cup game. What a treat it is to see soccer winning more and more converts.
