After beating the Venezuela and Latvia teams 2-0 and 1-0 respectively the US Mens National Soccer team is now in Germany. Did those two games convince anyone they were ready? Not sure, but they did not convince me in the least. Donovan still looks lost out there, Beasley like he doesn't give a rats @ss and John O'Brien looks good but he is still not match fit, or at least not 90 minutes match fit. The bright spots are that McBride looks as good as ever, Mastroeni will be ready, Eddie Pope surprised me, but I will wait to see what he does under some real pressure and Keller is and will remain The Man!! As to the others I would love to see Dempsey get more time than everyone thinks he will, Convey as well. I would love to see Eddie Johnson find his form again as he almost did against Latvia, but wait...That was Latvia. Cherundolo looked shakey too, but I think he'll rise to the occasion. At any rate it is time to book your time off cuz all (yes I said all) of their games are on weekdays during business hours. Hopefully everything will come together at the right time. Is this a good enough team? Yes, the best Us soccer has ever seen! The real question is not who can beat them, its will they beat themsleves? GO USA!!!
