While discussing this match with a friend of mine (I'm looking at you NewtonReb) and talking about our expectations/predictions, I realized that I am hopelessly optimistic every time the Yanks take to the pitch. I always expect a good result (usually a win). Is anyone else like this? I don't care who the USMNT is facing, I always feel like we should win it. Not just simply a hope that we win, but that "this is our year" feeling every time a new season starts for your favorite team. I realize this mentality sets up for potential (and assured) heartbreak, but I am of the opinion that our boys can beat anyone in the world. Maybe this is just typical American arrogance, or maybe it is desperate bias, but regardless I'll be damned if I don't expect an American victory tonight against the Brazilians.

God Bless America and the boys in Red, White and Blue.

I'm with you... hopefully the restaurant will be slowing down by the start.

I seriously think we can pull off a 2-1 victory or atleast 2-2 or 1-1 draw.. this isnt the most competitive Brazil squad, we will have Deuce in the second half too

CTID, I know exactly how you feel. I quickly learned my lesson though. US losses will slowly crush your expectations, and your soul (especially if you travel to see them lose in a major tournament, like the Gold Cup).

Also, Wideman, your friend needs to find his sack, and quick

That chick better be an 11 on the OT scale. That is all.
