USA vs South Africa, Friendly
I thought it would be good to bring the World Cup victors to a friendly game vs my dudes. Normal starting roster same for Chandler is still out and Spector still in. I begin countering. I go to standard in the 20s. They injure Brek Shea, and I pull him for Adu in the 34th minute. Bradley collects a yellow card. They get a red in the 45th minute. Half time. I move my guys forward, and order them to tackle softly, not hard. Let’s see if we can get some goals. Nasty cross by Adu and deadly shot by Acuna, turned aside by the enemy GK. Subs at the 60 – Bradley out for Stephens, Castillo for Pearce. Nexts subs at the 69 – Acuna out for Wood, Franklin in for Dempsey. Final sub at 78 – Altidore out for Pontius. A quiet game. Soares MOM.
The Southampton manager took the Fulham job and I deny interest in their job in the press. I reject an offer from Newcastle. Bolton manager goes to Newcastle.
