The USA will win all five games but lets just talk about the first 3. Panama is ranked 125th in the world and has no chance against the US. They have made great steps but won't be able to hang with the US with their superior abilities. but congrats for making it this far.....US 3-0 Panama. Canada is a little better than Panama. they are ranked 87th in the world but cannot compete with the USA's 11th place ranking. USA 3-1 Canada. Honduras is going to be the most challenging match yet for the US in qualifying. they are ranked 47th in the world and could provide and upset for the US. I don't think they will as long as convey, beasley, and donovan are on the field. those three are some of the top soccer youth in the world and can create goals out of nowhere. This game will decide who gets first and second in group b so no matter who wins both teams will most likely move on. USA 2-0 Honduras
I expect the US to qualify but by no means will it be an easy road. The Semi-final matchup between most probably Mexico or Costa Rica will be a real tough game. I suspect the Olympic Team starting line-up in the first qualifier will be a 4-5-1 formation. I believe Warren gets the nod over Countess in net. ------------------Warren -----------------Marshall---Borchers-------------- Whitbread---------------------------------Wingert ------------------Beckerman--------------------- Beasley-------------------------------------Davis ---------------Martino------Convey--------------- --------------------Donovan
hey! First i didn't mean to hint that the semi's would be easy...i know costa rica and mexico can hang with the best all i wanted were predictions on the first three games....thank you.
