    None of those announcers are going to see against the red white and blue.

    But everybody knows the odds.

    There are plenty of intermediate points on the spectrum between bunkering and perfect possession.

    The classic Bradley ball in behind the right that gets cut back to Demps is what Jurgen is hoping (and now I'm hoping too.) Wondo draw 2 guys at the six, Demps finishes from 12. That's our best chance, I think. Or a Wondo header, which is not impossible if we can get a free-kick into danger.

    Just to show your ******** ass a thing or two:

    Bedoya and Zardes are plodder. You can roles for plodders on any team. I think Danny Williams is better.

    Of the line-up, I like the backline. Yedlin still makes me nervous but he is the best available, I guess. Guzan worries me because he is consistent but never stand on his head outstanding. Tim Howard has a weakness for letting in short side goals but he has the ability to play lights out, Guzan doesn't. I wish we had Howard in goal for this.
    The USA has no chance to win this but I agree with those that say we needed more guys that can control the ball and hold it because we can't defend for this whole game. We don't need to attack like our lives depend on it but keeping the ball away from the Argies would have helped and this line-up doesn't do that. How about them apples.

    I'll have to look at it again, but that's not what I've seen on the first 99 viewings. :)

    Applesauce.

    Mostly because you're wrong. You don't "plod" your way to more assists and goals in a year and a half than ANYONE on the team except Dempsey since 2012. Again, you can't be objective.

    You don't get too many chances to cover yourself in glory at this level.

    Wondo gets another and all we can do is pray he seizes the moment this time.

    This reminds me of the Frank Sinatra quote:

    I feel sorry for people who don't drink because when they wake up that is the best they are going to feel all day.

    Right now after watching that hype video, that is probably the best I am going to feel about this probably downhill from here.
