Great article, but...
"There isn't a team we'll face that he doesn't think we can't beat."
Say what???

That's more or less true. No opponent is invincible, despite the myths about the sport.
That said, I don't think, if a series of friendlies were held this very moment between Brazil's full squad and USA's full squad, that the USA could beat them handily on a regular basis. It could happen, but I don't think it will anymore than flipping a coin a hundred times is going to get you heads a hundred times.

No, it's the triple negative... that sentence literally says that there isn't a team we'll face that he thinks we can beat.
Probably just accidental, but...

You're right. I thought it was just a double negative... :)

Really? If we played Brazil every day for the next several billion years, you don't reckon the US would win one?
I figured they'd take five or ten points every ten matches myself.

No, I think the US would win a couple, no doubt. I just meant I don't think we're at a level where we're playing, say, .350 against them.

Regardless of what are actual record would be....
we would still go into every game, thinking we could win. That's all thats being said there.
AND whats wrong with that.
I go into every US game the same way.
If you go in thinking you are going to lose..........well
