Well that didn't take long

I like Uruguay, not Argentina.

But anybody who thought the USA was in the same league as Argentina was kidding themselves.

What will be interesting is if Argentina plays Chile.

Well, they certainly aren't without three key starters.

I'm not sure they are even with all starters, Argentina is missing a starter, too. I was chuckling listening to Lalas and those guys making their predictions. They just aren't in this league yet.

I'm not saying they are, but they'd be more competitive IMO ... I'm also in a bad mood because Klinsman went for play it safe.

I am honestly pulling for the the US to pull off an upset tonight.... who knows, it's still possible. But it iwould be kind of like a Miracle on Ice scenario. They are just not good enough.

MLS stars.

Is an oxymoron.


US team key players spending their seasons playing in that league either retards their growth as players or gets them used to playing against vastly inferior talent.


Tonight they played scared and, as Lalas said, showed the Argentina side way too much respect.


God I hope the kid from Hershey does the proper thing and plays overseas. Even playing in a second division league over there would be much more beneficial than playing in a league whose best players are Premier League retirees.

The one post game talking head made a great point.

Argentina didn't even play the kid, Aguero, that was the most prolific goals per minutes played in the Premier League this past season. Talk about a deep bench.
