    Today, 1PM, ESPN2

    The US will be fielding a very weak line up, since players from the Revolution and Galaxy have been sent back to their teams to prepare for CONCACAF's equivilant to the Champions League. Houston forward Brian Ching is expected to start up front, and back up keeper Zach Wells is one of only two goalies remaining in the squad.

    GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLAZO!
    Olsen 38'
    Sweet, sweet shot off the inside of the laces on the ball, curved-down liner over the Guatemalan goalie from about 30 yards out. :eek:

    Another gol.

    46' Brian Ching seemed to be offside on that one.

    He wasn't offside, but the free kick came from the US bench. :D

    FOCK! Another gol? Dang Eddie Johnson. Gol in the 1st minute, on his 1st tough on the ball. :eek: I predict he will score 6 in the cup and if EE.UU. goes to the second round, possibly 9.

    Yes, Uprising... if it is a SWEET gol, I will call a SWEET gol, even if it is EE.UU.

    Freakin' ref's not calling anything... pushes and shoves and kicks without the ball and nothing is called.

    BRuce Arenas said he wasn't very happy with the number of goals at the half. He said his team needs to score another goal by the 60th minute.

    Well, EJ took care of that. loved that flick pass to EJ for that last goal. Just beautiful.

    Guatemala, especially Ruiz, have been diving all match. When you do that, it's going to be tough get a call even when you're kicked.

    Exactly what I was going to say. There's another yellow card on USA though.

    Thanks God, the Chosen One is up and looks to be OK. My World Cup dreams were crashing for a second.
