So here's a question.... what kind of post-season award does Waso earn this year? He's a two-time All-American, yet there are other forwards in the conference who are having much better individual seasons and their teams are much more successful.  For example, let's look at Drew.  Cserhart is 17/5 right now and one of the top forwards in the country.  Imoh (last year's Landmark ROY and a Regional All-American), is 9/6 right now.  Waso is 8/2 and E-Town is in danger of not even making the conference tournament.

I agree with Mid Atlantic as long as Etown makes the conference tournament. Which they might have the easier schedule for the bubble teams in the Landmark with Susquehanna and Juniata left. If they make the conference tournament he is most likely making one of the All Region teams. All American is a big reach unless he puts them on his shoulders and carries them into the NCAA Tournament and wins a game.

I cannot find any of these Champions league matches on TV..Usually FS1 carries 1 game..You are correct about Paulinho he has come back to life bigtime at Barca

Mr. Right - There is usually a game on Fox Sports 2 (The Yankees game was the reason there wasn't one on FS1). The other games you can find on ESPN 3 (The WatchEspn App - sometimes these are in Spanish) and now they are doing one match Facebook Live style. I believe its on the FoxSports Champions League Facebook page. Usually one game gets snubbed but I think yesterday every game was on. This is how I try to watch at least 3 games at the same time. This same thing might hold true for Europa League as well but I don't get as involved with Europa League till the knockout rounds.

Has any one watched Trenton State this year? I wasn't that impressed by Drew. ThoughT Trenton State held there own against a team everyone thought was really good. The outcome favors Drew but not sure the game favored them.

Trenton State? Thought it was the college of new jersey.

Shows my age and that I'm a local who didn't agree with the name change.

Looks like Etown played Cabrini, Stockton, and Dickinson. I have very limited information but I know that Etown was not scored on by any of the teams. I know for sure they scored 1 goal against Dickinson. It looks like they might have scored against Stockton as well(guessing from a picture).

If someone has more information please provide your insight.

It isn't a matter of formation or players - this is a systemic problem that US Soccer has avoided addressing since I first played in 1965. We have occassionally shown commitment to developing our national game, but we panic and revert to the Passport concept of building a team.  Klinsmann has set us back 50 years with his reliance on non US-raised players.  There is no chemistry, there is no identity and there is no passion to play for a country that you barely spent any time in as a developing player.  Hell - Gonzalez was born here and he has ZERO passion - way to bust your ass getting to the ball last night D-head.

Poor math on the Iceland population - actually makes a stronger case against what is passing as"development" in this country! Just as I ask all my son's teammates to watch the games over the next two weeks - so they can see HOW to win a college championship - and it won't be Barca pinging the ball around for 90 minutes (but I hope less criminal than UMASS Boston's approach) - I use Iceland's victory over England as THE way the US could play, as THE way we could establish a US identity - with, perhaps a bit more style and flair reflecting our strong Latin populations.  The work rate of our team last night was disgusting . . .

My poster boy for this point is Mobi Fehr.  Born to two non-US parent who were in NYC on work visas - moved to Japan when he was 6 - gets a spot on the US U-17 national team never having played a minute in the US.  Way to send a message to the millions of kids playing in the US.

http://www.mlssoccer.com/players/mobi-fehr

I don't disagree with your comments that we have to develop our youth and I think the systems are sort of in place in some areas they just don't have the backing like other countries because soccer doesn't really matter here. It's just like the MLS. Its not really that well supported. Yes attendance is up per the media but those statistics are inflated as they don't count who goes to games they count how many tickets were sold for games. I'm a season ticker holder for the Union and the turnout is really not that great.

But I ask the question about Mobi Fehr, should a kid not as good as him get the spot on the team? Doesn't that set the team back? He's got citizenship so shouldn't we applaud our USA federation for acknowledging who has talent and working towards the future of our senior team. Although Fehr isn't cap tied yet he can still go play for one of the other countries by bringing him to the youth team it works him towards the USMNT. Aren't we looking to put the best 11 US citizens on the field? Not the best 11 US Citizens who played in the country since they were a little kid? With your opinion does Pulisic fall into the category that should get a shot? He started his youth career overseas and then came to the states to play then left the states. Pulisic has US and Croatian Citizenship. Or are you being selective?

Also if you are giving Gonzalez hell for not sprinting towards the guy than you need to rewind the tape about 15 seconds and see who the real culprit was that caused this goal. Yes, could Gonzalez have closed out a little better. But he was slow to get to the ball because Brooks had yet to get back into a position to defend a cross and he was trying to split the difference(watch Gonzalez look over his shoulder as he is running back to defend). Could they have both done better with their respective assignments. Yes. But they still aren't the ones who are at fault.

The USMNT gave up on Klinsmann last night just like he gave up on them. I've never seen such a poor display by any USMNT in the hustle department. Yes we have had poor results but not any that I can remember where we gave up. It's time for Klinsmann to go!!

These 2 Bolivia forfeits for using an ineligible player has really brought everyone besides Bolivia and Venezuela into the Commebol table. It really is wide open for qualifying with Uruguay and Brazil the only 2 teams looking safe.

Side Note----If Klinsmann cannot get a point at Costa Rica tonight he might be finished as the US would be i a serious hole. Hopefully, not only does Klinsmann go but I agree with Herculez Gomez that the real change needed is to get rid of Sunil Gulati who has made a massive mess of the whole US development system and National teams.

Although USA has lost both opening games they are not in a serious hole at all. The Top 3 Automatically qualify and 4th place gets a play in game against an Asian country like a Saudi Arabi. With 24 points left out there with 8 games to play they probably need 12 points(if that) to secure probably that 4th spot.

On the other side of your comment. I think Klinsmann will be done after tonight if the US Federation gets it right. Not only did his players look to give up on him it seemed as though he gave up on the team. Why is he taking Pulisic out with 20 minutes left in the game. Gooch is not a bad player but take Jermaine Jones out, take an outside back out and move Fabian Johnson back if you still want 4 in the back. Johnson could still get forward.

We need to find guys who can replace Jones and Bradley but I think you need to start with Jones first. Jones is never in the right position. He is always out of shape and leaving Bradley to defend for himself. Who is that player though? Gooch, Bedoya, Kleijsten?

I honestly think that would be better off playing a 3-5-2 but I will call it a 5-3-2 for the USA. I honestly thought Klinsmann was on the right track with the formation change we just couldn't handle it defensively which is why I think I'd rather call it a 5-3-2.

Not sure how this attempt below will come out once this gets posted but this is a better option(don't get to caught up with the 3 center backs(these guys could be anyone in my opinion as our backs aren't that great)

                     Howard
        Brooks, Chandler, Orozco
Yedlin                                     Fabian
              Bradley  Jones
                     Pulisic

From Princeton University to the EPL....As much as I am not a Bob Bradley fan you really have to be amazed a college soccer coach in the US would eventually be coaching in the EPL. 20 years ago this would have been near IMPOSSIBLE.

And nothing like starting off your EPL career with a welcoming trip to the Emirates 

Mr. Right - I am a Bob Bradley fan but a biased one as I grew up in the Princeton Soccer system. I am surprised to see him in the EPL and we will see how he does. The one thing I can tell you about Bradley is he puts the time in to dissect the game in its entirety. I feel bad for him that he has to face Arsenal first game. He has had 2 weeks to get his feet wet with training. Since I am not a Swansea supporter (Southampton Supporter!!) I don't know who was at training and who was with their international teams but I am guessing he was only missing a couple. I look forward to seeing what happens on Saturday. Swansea City supporters hate the decision so he will have a tough first 3 games where he needs to come out at least 1-1-1. I know I will be watching on Saturday morning and I assume a lot of other people will be too from the US.

Wow. If that was converted to a goal that's ESPN Top 10 worthy!
