USA Recap:
When it was announced last October that the United States would enter Copa America, the decision by United States Soccer Federation president Sunil Gulati seemed like a no-brainer. One of the proposed cures for the disappointing World Cup in Germany was to get the U.S. national team more games in tougher environments, and against better competition. Copa America was primed to deliver on all fronts. But after the Americans' three-and-out performance, which was accomplished with a decidedly under-strength squad, their participation in the world's oldest international tournament is being called into question.

It's good these kids are getting to know eachother now and developing good communication w/ each other. With Freddy and Jozy on the front the line w/ a few more years together...perhaps 2010 World Cup those 2 have the potential to be quite lethal...speed, balls, silk, finesse, intuition...etc. Let's hope for the best.
That's what I'm thinking. Let this group develop together, throw in the Deuce and a bald Landon in 2010 and perhaps we can have a tad more success. Or at least some consistency.
