    That's too bad. They'd draw a huge crowd for USSF in Foxboro.

    FYI for anyone heading up New England way: there is only one place in the US where you can see a public statue dedicated to a great Portuguese soccer player, and that's Lowell, Mass, outside the Massachussetts Sports Hall of Fame (or maybe it's Sports Museum... it's been a couple of years.

    I would rather play Portugal than New Zealand.

    Huh? As far as I can remember, U.S. Soccer never announced this match, tickets have not been sold for it, and it's more than a week prior to it... I don't see how it is at all similar to the Japan game, when the opponent pulled out on short notice, after tickets had been sold.

    I am sorry, but I have drinken plenty of Bud, and plenty of Sagres. Unless you are into beer that tastes like paste, this really isn't a contest.

    Bud wins.

    If this stuff tastes worse than Budweiser, I feel deeply for those forced to consume it...

    Someone seems to have reported the game to FIFA. It's showing up on their fixture list:

    http://www.fifa.com/en/news/fixtures/men.html

    Don't know how long it's been on the list, so I don't know if it hasn't been "unreported" yet, or if this is new.

    I sat in front of two Brits at a World Cup game in Japan last year and asked them what they thought of Bud, the only suds available in WC venues. They loved it and were baffled when I told them it's not held in high esteem by connaisseurs in the States.

    If they normally drink Carlsberg, then I can see why they would say that. Or maybe they were just trying to be respectful to Americans.
