I'm gettin real tired of all the "experts" on ESPN saying the US has no chance. Not only do we have a chance we are GOING TO WIN! 2-0, 2-1 however it goes down I don't care but the US leaves Azteca this afternoon with 3 MORE POINTS!

Earlier Mike Wilbon compared the game to Federer playing Roddick while A-Rod had 2 casts on! Kornheiser gives us no respect either. Even Alexi Lalas who usually tells it like it is is trippin! Lalas predicts a 1-1 draw which wouldn't be terrible but we want those Tres Puntos!

What to expect from this one?

I think you can expect a lot of emotions and tempers especially early on. Even though it was the C Team that took the beat down at the Gold Cup, Sam's Army is pissed! You would be too if a riff raff group of Mexicans ran up your team 5-0! And yeah I said it they're a riff raff group, these guys are NOTHING! With the exception of Marquez, Pardo and De Santos, this team has nobody that's gonna make a big play happen against the boys!

Oguchi needs to be careful he and 3 other US players with a yellow coming in, so one more and they'll miss the next match against El Salvador. Landon Donovan playing some of his best futbol in quite sometime look for him to put one in the back of the net! 19 yr old phenom Jozy Altidore youngest US player to record a hat trick. Charlie Davies rising star attacker on the US squad he'll get some time on the pitch today too...

Two problems I have though and they're both on the back line. As I've said before I'm NOT a fan of Demerit and Spector, although Demerit is much worse. If it was my team I'd start Goodson in for Demerit and where the hell is Frankie Hejduk?!? He's still very much able to play the game and Bob Bradley should use him regularly. Also Freddy Adu unfortunately I don't expect to see him this afternoon either. Ricardo Clark we'll see him in the midfield with some speed today and Brian Ching hopes to provide a spark in the box and on set pieces he'll be starting this afternoon as well...

Subs look for maybe a Pablo Mastroeni or even a young player like a Jose Torres to come off the bench in the 2nd half. Also Cherundolo can he go the full 90? If not look for a Jonathon Spector to come in sometime in the 2nd half.

US 0-22-1 at Mexico coming in but that changes after today! DONT TREAD ON US!!!
