Guzan, Parkhurst, Orozco, Wynne, Holden, Bradley, Kljestan and Edu are looking very good. And I’m going to say it again, Edu should get a very serious look at Center-back for World Cup although these last 5 minutes of the match he’s been playing on the edge.

    Do you know what the tourney rules are regarding accumulation of YC??? That was a rather harsh decision to caution MB. Hope it doesn’t come back to bite.

    Back in 2000 it was 2 yellows in the group stages and it’s a one game suspension.
    I agree about the yellow as it was probably the softest foul in the entire match.
