Donovan needs to go into a slide right there.... He has a goal with a FARKING SLIDE!!

thank god Finley out next match the guy cant/wont shoot, cant make a pass and generally does nothing. Hopefully a few more guys will be forced to miss the next match including the coach.

Could have 2 goals guys refuse to shoot!!!

not one single contested ball won by the US. Heartless team that has an organization that plainly refuses to hire a foreign coach to teach actual soccer.

Gomez & Buddle need to come in. And we need to hope they Slovenians dont pack in the defense as tight as I think they will.

Defense is pathetic and our forwards are incompetent. How anyone can say Altidore is a top-class striker, I have no idea. Sit Altidore and Findley, move Dempsey on top with Edson Buddle and put Gomez in the midfield.

Say what you will about Clark, but all that space in front of the backline on those two goals is where he sits. Bradley might have over thought himself with the Torres play.

I am so disgusted. I honestly can't remember the US ever coming back from 2 goals down to win a game.

Onyewu was to blame on goal #2, not sure who to blame on goal #1...ok looking at the replay just now it might be partially Onyewu on goal #1 as well.

Time to take Findley out, he is useless. Slovenia is sure to play a ton of players behind the ball and just counterattack the crap out of us.

I know it hasn't happened yet but the only positive I can find from an early exit from this WC is Bradley is sure to be sacked, hopefully USSF goes hard after a quality proven coach.

***** looks like hes really struggling out there with Novakovic. I've never seen him get pushed around by someone. I wonder if the injury is bugging him again

Altidore has been a huge disappointment, I found myself screaming at the TV because he doesn't move well off the ball and make himself a target for the MF's.

No way they waste 4 more years and give him 1 more wc. unfortunately.

So it looks like they sat Findley, moved Dempsey up front and put Edu in. I'm ok with that move, at least it's something.

So what is Bradley's answer to being down 2-0? He brings in a defensive mid (Edu) and a MF who hasn't played worth a damn for 3 years (Feilhaber). Buddle and Gomez sit on the bench.

LANDON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SCORE!

Ballsy strike by Donovan, didnt want to take a chance by passing it to the poopy strikers, just took care of business himself. GREAT job Landon!
