Gold Cup - Official Game Thread: United States v Trinidad and Tobago

[Prime Time]

Today at 5 pm ET. It'l be on Telefutura or FSC. If USA wins they proceed to the next round. Should be interesting at the back since Onyewu isn't starting due to the red card. Also, expect Johnson to start up top and for the young Feilhaber/Bradley duo in the midfield to possibly be broken up today with the chance of Ricardo Clark being placed there and Mastroeni most likely starting the next game after returning from his 3 game suspension from last year's World Cup.

I predict again a 4-4-2

GK: Tim Howard
RB: Franke Hejduk
RCB: Jay DeMerit
LCB: Carlos Bocanegra
LB: Jonathan Bornstein
RM: Clint Dempsey
RCM: Benny Feilhaber
LCM: Ricardo Clark
LM: DaMarcus Beasley
RF: Landon Donovan
LF: Eddie Johnson

I predict T&T to be more of a challenge then most fans think. I predict a 3-1 victory with it being a close game for the majority of the 90 mins.

you should just put them all in the Gold Cup thread, not enough following from Concacaf here for an individual game thread... me thinks.

Hmm maybe. You never know though. A few Americans might just jump in the thread and post...

Serious injury to Noriega....or so it seems. Hopefully the Trinidad and Tobago player is ok.

US is winning, rigth?

Gooaaaaaaa de Ching! I want to see Eddie Johnson score though! ....goal looked very similar to their goal against Guatemala...

First half showed good signs in terms of team attacking. Finishing was off....Johnson has been ripped off 4 times by the linesman. He's been called offside when he's not offside! Wth...T&T got dangerous towards the end...

Donovan in....going for the kill....

Game over. 2 to 0. Decent game. Defensively we were sloppy at times. Offensively we had chances but didn't finish a majority of them...again we were playing with our backups but its all good. We are on to the next round.
