Indeed. I would like to employ O'Brien against Rosicky and Nedved...he would certainly give them a bunch of hell. Considering our defense is not exactly solid I think the best course of action is to beat the Czechs on the flanks and never stop pressuring their defense. But Bruce will probably field his usual 4-3-1-2 so that could mean no Convey and instead O'Brien, Reyna, and Beasley in midfield. If I was in his position I would probably just play McBride up top with Donovan behind him and the Beasley-Convey duo on the wings. And against Italy I haven't even begun to think about that match yet. :D
I guess you forget we have a pit bull on our bench that enjoys nothing but pissing off the world's finest midflielders and forwards. The man who took a Blanco punch to the face and just smiled. Im talking about Pablo Mastroani. He well no doubt play against Italy and may field strong minutes against the Czechs should we get an early goal. Against Italy he will have only on mission: Piss off Totti. Forget about Pirlo he will have to worry about two of our three 5'6 tireless terriers dogging his ass all day long. The key to winning in Germany is putting the ball in the net and then letting Pablo piss people off.

Dear Nick,

There is a girl in New York City
Who calls herself the human trampoline
And sometimes when I'm falling, flying
Or tumbling in turmoil I say
Woah, so this is what she means
She means we're bouncing into Graceland
And I see losing love
Is like a window in your heart
Everybody sees you're blown apart
Everybody feels the wind blow

Stay golden,
Enron

PS. Soda Pop wants to know when you're coming to town.

1. Belgium isn't even in the World Cup.
No shit.

2. Despite the idiocy that involves patriotism, we Belgians have not been tempted to go as far as loving our own country. I couldn't care less about the Belgian national team. It's nice that they'll have a good team in a couple of years, but do you seriously expect me to cheer against my favourite football players?
Blah blah blah, blah blah, same old speal. I really couldn't care less who you support, nor do I care about aknowledging the fact you can support whoever you want because Belgium is not participating in the World Cup. Did I ever say you were not allowed to support any other nation? No I did not. Did I ever say anything about your direct support of any nation and criticising such a choice? No I didn't. I may have questioned your support of Italy before, but I never said you COULDN'T support them.

5. You might act fancy, but that doesn't hide your stupidity nor your hubris.
:lol2: Sheesh, you're one feebleminded ignoramus.

I did not forget about Mastroeni, however we have such a glut of strong attacking midfielders that we must find a way to fit at least a few of them into the first team. Not to mention we have Reyna who is easily first choice and O'Brien who is vastly more experianced than Pablo. I suppose Bruce could opt to field those three players across the midfield against the Czechs or Italy, which might not be a bad idea if we play with one striker and Donovan and Convey or Beasley behind him. The objectives against Nedved and Totti are simple: fuck them up and get them off their game. When both of those players are shut down, their sides are usually halted as well.

The major facet will be putting the ball in the net indeed, and that's why I'm not happy about seeing the shyness in front of goal during these recent friendlies.

I wouldn't say we were shy against Latvia. The keeper did make a few saves. But Johnson and McBride were as agressive as ever. I wouldn't worry too much if we keep it up the ball will eventually go in.

50 Cent is coming to Lebanon June 10, heard about that?
Yeah, too bad I'll be here in Buchuresti, not in Beirut...However I think when I'll be coming lot of concerts will take place down there. I heard Sean Paul might also be coming in August.
