Nice. Not too hot or too cold, perfect footballing weather.
Anyone going to watch the Confederations cup? Should give some good insight into SA 2010 it starts on Monday. I want to say ESPN will be showing the games but i'm not 100% sure on that.
you are correct, at least about the US games. The ESPN family will be showing the US games for sure and I assume at least some of the other games.
edit: indeed, ESPN will be showing the tournament. I'm very happy.

Yes! I'm excited, I thought I would have to settle for football withdrawls this summer. Man, what a great past few summers its been in terms of football. Euro's last summer, confederations and gold cup this summer, and SA next summer.

Anyway, to stay on topic, I tihnk USA has a chance to beat Brazil. Brazil hasnt been too impressive this tournament and needed a last minute free kick from Alves to beat South Africa. If we play like we did against Spain, we can win.

Its an American thing, the wave. Something the mods (apparently?!) don't understand. Whatever, it's done now. At least the thread is alive again. I'm stoked for tomorrow: There's no reason why we shouldn't play like this is the biggest game ever in the team's history.

Yeah, I agree. I think we should put in hard challenges for like the first 10 minutes and make the brazilians think about what they are doing. For us to win the US defense needs to get into a rythm (sp???) and keep the brazilians from having space. If we can do that then we can win.
USA was winning 1-0 with a nice finish from Charlie Davies but Mexico equalised a few minutes later. Hopefully the US will be able to pull out a win. It would be huge for us.
tough tough game
