Well we got it in the bag. USA! USA! USA! Just like in the movies. The super duper underdog wins the whole thing. Either that or Brazil beats us silly by 10-0. :lol:

Haha, I said exactly that at the end of the US-Spain thread:
Does this sound like Disney rigged the tournament to anyone? Take any of their sports movies - ragtag bunch of underachievers, are blown away in their group by the tournament favorite, somehow come together and rally to make the championship against said favorite. I mean, they do own ESPN, right?
Seriously, it'll more depend on which Brazil shows up - the team that beat Italy or the one that beat South Africa. Their form will have a greater outcome on their result, I have no doubts our boys will be up for this game after Egypt and Spain. With Mike out, my guess for the lineup is:

-----------------Howard-----------------
--Spector--Onyewu--Demerit--Boca--
---------Feilhaber--------Clark---------
--Dempsey------------------Donovan--
---------------Davies--------------------
---------------------Altidore------------

Wonder how this game will affect Benny Feilhaber since he was born in Rio and moved to the States when he was six.

Wow this team is not even the same team who played the first two games. These guys really need to be consistent and they really can beat anybody in the world. :nod: :nod:

I like our play, but our ball control sucks.

Should be 2-2. Replay shows the ball went in.

WE need to wake up. Our passing is returning to its old self.

Definitely two different teams in the two halfs...

USA seems to have lost the confidence they displayed in the first half...

USA loses 3-2

Tough loss but they let Brazil dominate them.
