Missing a lot of big names, but it'll be fun to see Donovan playing again for the national team.

Watched the game vs Panama last go around in Tampa Bay , nearly got into a fight with a large group of Panamanian supporters. Got to love soccer shenanigans.

Going to the game in Portland, should be fun.

My problem with the roster is that we should be playing some youth players to get them "tournament" games and see how they react.

USA plays Guatemala tomorrow, the the Gold Cup starts a few days after that!

Also, USA moves up 6 spots in the rankings to #22:

But we are playing MUCH better soccer. Klinsmann is the coach we've been needing. We won't ever been a Spain or Germany or Brazil, but there's no reason we can't be a 10-20 ranked team every year, and make it to the quarterfinal round once a decade.

It'll take good coaching, and some quality players. But with Bradley, Altidore, Donovan, Holden, and a much improved defense, I think we can make some noise this world cup. I'm still cautiously optimistic, but we are flat out player better these days. And that's definitely a great sign like you said.

USA vs Belize. Anyone going tomorrow?

Mexico took a loss to Panama , that has to be good for us right?

Yeap, they played in the opening day.

USA looking good right now, up 1 - 0 18 minutes in

Pretty awesome atmosphere last night. Belize was clearly outmatched, but again the US moved the ball around exceptionally well, and played a strong game. US wins 6-1. Hard to get excited over a win against Belize, but it's nice to see people like Wondolowski stepping it up.

Much easier to get excited about a trip to Belize
