This game is so huge for this team. We can't go in timid. We have to take the bull by the horns and a two goal cushion will be a must.

Also, I have this great belief we will shock the Germans in the round of sixteen if we meet. The US team may not be best techical team but they are the best athletically and are showing less fatigue.

Since we tied England there is a chance we could finish first in our group.

True that why I said may. I really don't see anyone running away from pack at the moment. Germans showing a strong result against the Aussies isn't going to scare the US we beat them 3-1 a week beforehand.

Bill I think JZA has looked lazy and out of form.. I've noticed that Findley has an amazing first touch, and we all know Buddle is scoring goals left and right..

Torres over Clark all day for me.. Torres is like our Arteta..

Amazing might be a stretch for Findley. He's lively & much improved. Still be surprised to see jozy on the bench though. If anything maybe jozy/buddle pairing.

Nobody else wants to see edu over clark? I'd do w/ torres or holden too, but if we're going to play 2 def mids I think edu's better than rico all day.

Although I am not a big fan of Rico I see what he brings to us after all he is a Dynamo. My belief is Torres and Holden needs more time in the squad which would give us more options. Eventually, Torres will be a regular as he does possess the flair we dearly need to go to next level.

I'd love to face the Germans. Some unfinished business after the missed handball by Hugh Dallas in '02.

Since the draw it's been obvious that this is the one we HAVE TO WIN.

Definitely, just go on and make an informed comment such as over the past 4 years under Bradley the US has improved nicely and have reached a point in which on any day they could beat anyone. Then sit back and enjoy the bile.

Chico, if you do it, tell us when so we can get the popcorn ready.
