If you guys are watching this, let me know how young Donovan is doing. I think he is a defender. Was drafted by Orlando(?) (1st pick of 2nd round). He is a local that spent 3 years at the HS dobberjr will likely play at. *We're building a monster.

I have only been able to watch one game, but I can tell you with some relative certainty, Conor Donovan hasn't played a minute.

From what I have seen, Miazga (plays for RBNY and will get some minutes this season) and Carter-Vickers (17 year old stud who plays in Tottenham's academy) have played all 90 minutes during every game so far. From what I have heard, Donovan will become a good player in MLS, but I don't expect anything from him for at least a couple seasons. Hopefully he goes on loan to Orlando City's USL Pro affiliate, Louisville City FC.

---------Beckerman----------
Chandler-Bradley-Mix-Fabian

and absolutely destroyed.

(Up 7-1 before the last guy quit in the 54th min

)

Seems like fun. USA doesn't have Chris Smalling, Jonny Evans or Phil Jones, so maybe this 3 man backline will work!

If we lose today (4:30 on FS2) we're out. Not totally sure of our situation, but I'm pretty sure if we win or draw, it's likely we'll go to a playoff to qualify for the WC. Think we need help if we're going to qualify from today's win (if that's even possible).

EDIT: Asked Sciaretta on twitter and he referred me here: http://www.americansoccernow.com/articles/miazga-and-carter-vickers-bolster-u-s-u-20-back-line

As long as we don't blow this, we'll play either Honduras or El Salvador on Saturday for a spot in the World Cup.

I'm thinking of wrecking threads everywhere until this shit gets fixed or I get banned, should I?
