  2. I hope Sabio doesnt get selected. Hes such a crappy player.

  3. Couple things here,

    Sabio's a very smart player, and he's a solid pick. He's not a shut down defender or an attacking winger, but he does his job, and he does it well.

    As for the group, it's unfortunate that we're stuck with perennial up and comer India and last year's surprise World Cup entry North Korea.

    I look at 3rd being realistic.

  4. ^^ group of death! And I mean death.......in the current stage & condition of the team I don't see any chance to make it to the semi finals. India weren't that bad at their AFC cup appearance in Qatar (even lost all matches) and North Korea was in South Africa last year....always hard to play (results are mostly like 1-0, 0-0, 1-1....strong defence). If we can't field out best squad (which I doubt as it's no FIFA callendar tournament so they won't get the ok from their clubs to leave) with all European players ....the chances are zero or below (pessimistic but realistic in my humble opinion)

  9. ^^Aly already confirmed during the press con for the LA Galaxy game that he'll be out for five more months which obviously means he'll miss the Challenge Cup.
