    I think Altidore is out. I don't know about anyone else.

    If Suarez is guilty, no ban us too long. Totally beyond the pale. Alien to football.

    Totally agree with him, though I'm not sure why people keep saying 'if' or 'we'll try to confirm whether he actually did or didn't bite him'. He definitely bit him, it's right there on video. There's no question about it, we already have the proof.

    Yeah, he is. I'd go with the exact same lineup as the last one, with 5 midfielders and Dempsey up top.

    I wouldn't completely mind putting Johansson in, but I'd rather see us start the same way and then bring on subs as need be, whether it's Johansson or Wondolowski or Brooks, etc. I definitely don't want to see Omar Gonzalez again.

    I would like to have our exact lineup with maybe another midfielder replacing Bedoya. Don't think he's really done anything to warrant starting to me. He's just been a ground eater

So I started kinda feeling bad. And I even gave him the benefit of the doubt for the racism and chalked it up to translation. But this has made all that go out the window. It's not desperation or fighting for survival, just being a piece of shit. I reallllllly hope Real Madrid doesn't buy him now. Would be hard for me to cheer when he scores for us.
    I'm not aware of him having a track record of being racist. I thought he just had a beef with one black guy, who he made some derogatory remarks to/about. I could be wrong of course.

    I can't defend him biting people. Thats pretty inexcusable.

    That's kinda what it was. He said something that people thought was racist, but he claimed had a different connotation in Uruguay.

    He was suspended for 8 games in league play for being a racist.

    Right, but it was a single incident, which is what I was trying to say.

    I'm rooting for Greece to go through b/c I have them in a WC pool. Normally I'd be pulling for Japan.
