Well I bought my ticket to the final earlier this week, so we better not lose! I'm confident that we will win though, we haven't lost to Canada since 1985! USA 3 - 1 Canada
2-0, U.S.A. Score by Twellman in the 25th minute or so. Landon puts the game away in the 73d minute or so.

USA 1 Canada 0 Goal: Dempsey (Beasley) USA starting XI: ---------Dempsey---------- Beasley-------------Donovan -Mastro--Feilhaber--Bradley- Spector---------------Simek ----Bocanegra--Onyewu---- ----------Howard----------- Bench: Keller, Parkhurst, Hejduk, Clark (Feilhaber), Mapp (Beasley), Twellman, Johnson (Dempsey) ***i don't know if Johnson is healthy or not, but i'm guessing he is.
If Canada doesn't play an Guatemala style defense and actually attacks, it's 4-0 Yanks. Canada is waaaay overrated. Their FIFA rank should be much lower.
2-1 USA Dempsey opens the scoring, De Guzman draws Canada even before the half. Twellman completely blows 3 more golden oppurtunities for a goal. EJ comes on between the 65th and 70th wins the game around the 80th.
USA 2:0 Canada With many missed chances I add. I mean seriously guys, it's Canada. If they beat us we might as well send the U-20 team to Copa America to save some embarassment.
3:1 USA. I expect DeRo to score or be involved in Canada scoring. I preict that either Twellman or Johnson's gonna get one depending on who's starting, and Donovan to get at least one assist. I'd be really impressed if Donovan scores against Onstad though.
Yes, it's Canada. But this is soccer, where the best team doesn't always necessarily win. Is Guadaloupe really at least the 4th best team in the confederation? No. Was Portugal the 4th best team in the world last year? No. But in soccer, anything can happen. That's the beauty of it. Usually, the best team wins. But it's far from certain. To keep it short, we SHOULD beat Canada. But it doesn't mean we will. I think we will. I also thought the U.S. would beat Ghana. And that Brazil would beat France. Things happen. We'll See. Go US!!!!!!
Lineup on Matchtracker Keller Hejdude Boca Gooch Bornstein Landon Bradley Pablo Demarcus Dempsey Johnson Yuck at Bradley, Hejduk, Bornstein, Keller. With this lineup I have a prediction....... Pain
With Keller playing it appears Bradley is assuming we win and Tim-may works the final. I have no problems with the lineup, provided EJ keeps up his good work rate of late.
How bout changing this thread to "predict margin of tonights US victory" P.S sorry for trolling your board
That's not a troll, just an observation of our optimism, which may be a bit high. Good luck, just not too good eh.
