Today is a giant day for US soccer fans.
Win today against Portugal, and we are in the round of 16. We weren't suppose to beat Portugal in 2002 either, but we did. Portugal has several players missing, Pepe is red carded and cannot play, they have 2 other injuries also for regular starters, and Ronaldo has had knee trouble recently. He has iced it almost every day, and has worn a brace in practice. Portugal cannot be carried by Ronaldo alone, they have to play as a team.
The USA also has a couple injuries. Altidore is out with a strained hamstring, Dempsey has a broken nose, but will be starting, and our starting CB had hamstring trouble last game, but he is starting. This game looks to be a very interesting game.
I am hoping people continue to doubt US soccer, just like Ghana did.
Starting lineup:
Forward: Dempsey
Midfield: Zusi, Bradley, Bedoya, Jones, Beckerman
Defense: Besley, Besler, Cameron, Fabian Johnson
Keeper: Howard
I suspect the subs for this game will be Wondow, Chandler, and Green, unless someone else gets injured.
What do you suspect the score will be? I'm not sure, it could really go either way.
