USA VS. Canada

The semifinal match for the Gold Cup is today against Canada @ 7:00P.M. I think the score will be 2-1 USA in overtime. This will be a really close game but the US will win.

The line-up will hopefully prove to be better this game then it was in the last. Something like this:
---------------Howard-----------------
Simek-----?-----Bocanegra------Bornstein
Donovan---Pablo---Bradley--Fleihaber--Ching
---------------Dempsey-----------------

I like this line up allot. I like it, I like it a lot. I just have one spot I am not sure on who should go there. I really don't want Gooch to play because he just isn't that good and we need someone who can stop DeRosario.

I think this game will probably be the second most interesting game the US will play in the Gold Cup. The first most interesting, as we all know, will be the US VS Mexico final game.

I didn't put Twellman in the line up this tie because I think I have come to the realization that he is really only good at one thing: scoring. Other than that he doesn't bring much else to the table. I would only put him in if we really needed a goal. Then again with his crappy shooting in the Panama game maybe they shouldn't rely on him too much.

But I think the US will pull off a win and Landy will get another penalty.
