I think the loss of Eddie Pope is huge. Who do you think Arena will start in central defense with Onyewu next Thursday?

EDDIE LEWIS!!!!


(..good god I hope not)

id prefer Albright over Lewis to be honest

What about Conrad? He played today. Can Boca or Berhalter play in the center?

I wondered if Pope's red was an accumulation of fouls. He committed several in the first half that could have easily resulted in a second yellow before the red card was shown to him. But I never saw a yellow/red. It appeared the ref went straight to the red.

I thinking and hoping it will be Albright to replace him.

If Albright gets into this World Cup..without us getting 22 red cards.. or 22 broken legs.. I'll be very disappointed.

KEEP THE APE ON THE BENCH!

btw: Where is everyone watching this one? Sucks that it's so early..

Edit: ..seems as though we are destined to disagree!

I saw the yellow. It was a yellow followed by the red. It was not a straight red.

has to be conrad i think. gibbs injury really hurts.

why is this even a question? It will be Conrad. He played a wonderful 40 minutes today when he could not have possibly envisioned playing. It was his first world cup appearance and he seemed to slide in right alongside Onyewu very well. I would expect to see the back four that ended the game start the game...Dolo, Onyewu, Conrad, and Bocanegra.

Not only will the US have 2 players suspended for the match with Ghana. So will the Black Stars. Gyan and Muntari, the goal scorers against the Czech Republic, both picked up their 2nd yellow of the tournament and will have to sit out Thursday's match.
