Everyone ready for this morning's match? Altidore is said to have an upset stomach
(I think Pink Tutu Ref is poisoning him!), and Yahoo! says
US World Cup fate to be determined Wednesday.
Several good articles/posts on bigsoccer.com,
All we can do now is believe:
"It's so, so simple for us Soccer News Topics tomorrow. Just win. Just go out against a team that is less talented than we are and score one more goal than them.
But of course it's not that simple, not for this team and not at the World Cup Soccer News Topics. In my entire lifetime, the US has won exactly three World Cup matches... out of 20.
Of course, few of these players have much to do with that record. Some do, of course, and worryingly, they seem to reside in our defense.
And yet, when I stop thinking about 2006 and 1998 and that same awful look of fear and cowardice we've grown to dread out of this team on the big stage, all I can think is... holy shit, there is a very good chance that not only will the US get out of the group stage, but they could well win the group. That could very well actually happen...."
See you here in the morning!
