USA v Spain : warm up for the Gold Cup

ford · June 4, 2011

Very excited to watch this friendly today. Great way for the USA to get ready for the Gold Cup.

Interested to see a few things.... will Agudelo and Altidore start up top together....

Will Adu get playing time? Hard to believe he is still just 22 years old.

Glad to see Bedoya brought in when Benny F was injured.

I really want us to win the Gold Cup... semi finals are in Houston... and I'll be there to watch!

What's the name of that midfielder who played some friendlies before the WC? Looked really good. Hispanic name, think he's Mexican

Torres? He played in the world cup and was way over his head. He did well in friendlies/qualifiers though.

I'm thinking 1-1 draw. I think Spain is going to be dead tired for this one. We'd probably get a better match from Spain's B team.

That's the fella. Looked class the bit I saw of him. Might just need time to bed in.

I hope we can generate another miracle like Confed '09 but in the end it don't really matter at all..

Desperate defending and endless pride stopped us from conceding loads.

But you were "unbeaten", which by Everton standards these days is basically a win.

Football? I thought this was a Badminton thread.

If we don't beat the Spanish then I reckon we should nuke them.

They're plazzy Portugese so they wouldn't be much of a miss.

Nuke? Nah..

Invade, and conquer? YES, WINNING!

The bulls must be saved mate. We can't stand back and watch this happen.

Plus, they all wear tights so they can't fight very good.

No bulls would be harmed in the initial invasion. However, if the bulls failed to adopt American culture than I can't be held liable for what might happen to their race.
