    Half an hour to game time. My online feed had no announcers, so I'll rely on other posters for analysis :D

    eta: The blog has line-ups Seems I was right, Hucles gets the nod. Guess A-Rod is the 2nd half super sub to go at tired defenders.

    No announcers on my end, either.

    Lineups, anyone?

    And although I have to be up early for work, I think I'll stay up for this one.

    As long as I'm in bed by midnight. :D

    Guess you were right indeed.

    Norway's going the "super-sub" route, too, with Isabel Herlovsen.

    [tangent]I figured I'd have no problem getting up for the first game (5am eastern, USA) b/c my dog's been getting up 4:30-5 for far too long due to medical reasons. This morning, he didn't wake me until 5:50. The day the USA is the early game will probably be the first day in a year he sleeps 'til 6:30. :D [/tangent]

    With the announced lineup, I wonder how fluid the running will be btwn midfield & forwards. What I mean is that many of the players can and have played both. If they all communicate well, it could be very dynamic--I just hope Boxx sits on top of the back 4 a bit more.

    Sorry for the double post but for those watching online via the nbc site, I'm thinking we're going to hear a lot of the on the field talk, based on the Germany-Brazil showing, anyway. Potty mouths watch out ;)

    I am always greatly amused by the close-ups during the anthems.

    Wagner looked really sad on the sidelines. Or maybe that was just in contrast to the goofy smiles of Heath/Barnhart/A-Rod.
