Friday's finally here...

It's been an interesting week, which at times felt like the next game was a long time away...the guys had their final session this morning....after watching their third practice, and having talked to a bunch of the guys throughout the week, we can tell how much they're looking forward at the chance to turn things around tomorrow...

Dax is out, as are Blake and Brek - who each started in today's game for the U.S. U-23s in France. Everyone else is available. The only other injury is to Marcelo, who broke his hand at practice a week ago. He's been wearing a padded cast that allows him to play.

I am ready to see Oduro get an extended look as the strike partner for Cooper. If I were named the new manager I would give him a good six to eight week run as the starter and then reevaluate to determine if he is a starter, a perennial supper sub or if it's time to move on. By the way, where do I fax my resume?

Good luck this week boys! I sure hope it's safe to wear my Hoops again. It's one thing for front runners is Galaxy gear to celebrate in our oven, but there is no way I'm taking it from some pin head with Xango across his chest.

i agree with seeing oduro as a starter. No one can handle his speed. having him in there would be a constant threat. Plus, real speed to get on to the end of the long balls we keep playing. I would really like to see us move the ball through the midfiled from now on. long balls got to go.
Ill be there chearing in my hoops, hope the boys make it worth it.

i don't know if it's just me...but i feel like this game is close to a "must win" as anything. but, no pressure.

Skeeter and Tdallas,
your analysis of Oduro is quiet correct we need to see more of him to be able to judge him as none finisher.He very much impact games whether he scores or not and i believe if he partner's with Cooper they will complement each other with assists and goals.
