Some Articles Regarding Donovan
If Donovan hasn't proven to people that he can hang with the best of them after this tournament, then there is nothing else he can do. Here are a couple of articles about his great play over the Confed Cup. He is the Yank-Who-Should-Be-Abroad and I am hopeful that he will get a chance to prove himself across the pond.

Grant Wahl on Dan Patrick ShowEdgar Castillo "would play for the United States"
I don't want to get too excited until this actually happens, but this would be a great pick up. I don't think he is exactly the answer to our problems, but the more depth, the better. You could see our depth issues in yesterday's game when we brought on Klejstan and Bornstein. I am hopeful though. Someone needs to make sure US Soccer at least calls him in to get him in a qualifier. An interesting development to say the least.

Confed Cup - A Meaningless Tournament?
I know that it isn't the World Cup, but to say this tournament is meaningless as I have read in several places is absurd. Some of the American media don't know enough, and some of the English media have written it off (probably because England were not in it). But look at the following pictures and video and tell me it doesn't mean everything to these players. The video shows Timmy getting the goalkeeper award and Clint receiving the bronze boot for his goals scored. Go to about the 6:20 mark to see how badly Clint wanted this one.

Heartbreaker
Well, I don't even know what to say. What a game. It was a tale of two halves. A completely inspired first half and a disastrous second. The goal within the first minutes of the second half gave the Brazilians belief and deflated the US. We looked extremely tired in the second half. I am not one to find moral victories, as I prefer actual victories. Still, I am extremely proud of this team and can't think of a better experience for these players. Let's enjoy, if we can, the great first half we had. I will be back for more comments and videos.

More Highlights of the US game as well as the Brazil game
Here are some more highlights (can you really not watch it enough?) as well as highlights of the Brazil game. Let's not forget the importance of Brazil to beat Italy 3-0. Here they are:
Fire Bradley!!...Just kidding: Highlights from the Game
Just kidding. I'm kind of making fun of those who flipped out about firing Bradley. I'm not saying I agree with all of his decisions he has made. Even today, I was not pleased with Dempsey starting or staying in as long as he did, but he scored so I will keep my mouth shut. Anyway, let's just be happy today. What an improbable day! I'm so excited. After the last month or so, it feels fantastic to be a US fan right now. I would have considered myself content with a solid performance, but to actually advance is unbelievable! I will post up all the videos and interviews that will surface so keep checking back. USA!! USA!! USA!!

What happens to Szetela?
I know this isn't on the minds of too many US soccer fans right now, but this site is primarily meant to help follow Yanks Abroad. Brescia lost 3-0 to Livorno today and will remain in the Serie B. What does this mean for Szetela? Probably not much as he probably will head to Poland anyway. Disappointing time there as he rarely saw the field or even the bench for that matter. He is still young so hopefully will get a chance to prove himself elsewhere. Here are highlights from today's game.

I don't want to make too many comments other than the fact that I know it's Brazil, but we looked like the US of 1980. Complete amateur stuff out there. Dempsey and Beasley need to sit on the bench for a while and EARN their spot. We need a result and better performance against Egypt to get some pride and confidence back.

Highlights - MNT 2, HON 1
3 points = 1 step closer to SA 2010
I aged 5 years in that match. Regardless, it was a much needed 3 points and a great test for the boys. I usually don't like to provide too much insight since I am sure most people could care less what I think, but some thoughts from the match:
*Casey wasn't the best out there, but definitely worked his rear end off, held the ball well at time, and deserves another game. Too many fouls up front, but I was pleasantly surprised.
*This was the first game in a long time that I have seen Dempsey work hard though I think it was from trying to make up for his mistake.
*Bornstein did well enough, but he still looks awkward and out of place. Is that really our best option?
*Ricardo Clark=Fantastic Very unlucky not to get a penalty awarded. We almost didn't miss Bradley with the way he played. He really stepped it up. Well done, Rico!
*Spector was man of the match for me. I think he needs to be our first option (ahead of Frankie maybe??) there. Just keep giving him games for experience.
*Jozy put in a ton of energy particularly in the first half. Watch out for him when he finally gets regular club time. An inform Jozy is a dangerous Jozy.
*Feilhaber did well. Again, he just needs more games with the club team (i.e. Jozy, Beasley, Adu, Pearce) which he admitted after the game.
*It is still so disappointing to play at home yet have so much away support. It was unsettling to watch Honduras look so comfortable in an away match. They even were getting calls at the beginning of the match which were "home team" calls. Great job to those US fans who were there with their red and voices!
*Much more passion and energy from the players. Very happy with the result and hopefully gives us confidence as we look towards Confed Cup.
*U.S. shows grit in comeback against Honduras
*U.S. 2-1 Honduras: Bocanegra heads winner
