The Outside the Lines piece was great! I especially loved when they showed one of The Bruce’s (USMNT coach Bruce Arena) team talks.

I especiall like this little quote:
"And they’re talking st aleady. I’m telling you guys, its going to be a ing war. **** them! They’ve already started a war. I still remember the lack of respect they showed us after the World Cup, and there would be nothing better for us to **ing win Sunday in Azteca and walk of the field and them.

Bruce really knows how to get people worked up for a game.

The Mexican fans are VERY passionate, but fortunately so are the die hard US fans. I know a few brave souls (via a soccer message board) who are making the trip to Azteca.

Like I said, the US has a great chance of at least taking a point today. Our depth is incredible.

Our starting eleven should look something like this (but, you never know with Bruce)

-----------------------Johnson----------------McBride-----------------

-------------------------------------Donovan----------------------------

------Beasley-----------------------------------------------Reyna-------

------------------------------------Mastroeni----------------------------

------Bocanegra------------Gibbs--------------Berhalter------Cherundolo–

-------------------------------------Keller------

Ed Johnson is a young player, with limited experience with the full team, but I believe that he has 7 goals in his first 5 international games. That’s an amazing strike rate.

Beasley is one to watch. His speed is amazing, and his crossing has really improved since he went to Holland, where he has been on fire coming off the bench.

Keller has been a monster in goal in Germany and I believe that we have an advantage in the net.

Go USA,
