I apoligize for not giving a Championships League Finals preview....I'm so disappointed in myself. Barcelona won. It was a good match, not as exciting as last years. I'm just glad Cristiano Ronaldo and Powerhouse Manchester United lost..I hate his arrogance. He reminds me of A-Rod and the Yankees.
Coming up this week is two matches for our beloved USA squad in their Road for the 2010 World Cup. Playing Wednesday night at 10:00 against Bryan Ruiz, Costa Rica and then on Saturday in Chicago against Honduras, who believe it or not, are probably one of the toughest opponents in their grouping in order to qualify for the World Cup. Why should you watch? The U.S. is starting to form their team with talent from the experienced (Landon Donovan, Oguchi Onyewu) and welding it with the young gunz (Freddi Adu, the coach's son Michael Bradley, and Jozy Altidore). If and when Adu and Altidore are on the field at the same time you'll probably not want to fall asleep. These two can put on a show, which the U.S. is not accustomed to. Adu reminds me of Bob Cousy with the ball, but he does it all with his feet! Altidore himself scored a hat trick last USA showing. Also, keeper Brad Guzan will play either date. If you don't know who he is, think of Brian Urlacher, with hair and with a goalie shirt. He'll play like Urlacher would too. Even if your not a big fan I suggest you TiVo it just in case. I guarantee Adu or Altidore will be on top plays Thursday.
As for predictions...USA should roll against Costa Rica, but as a team they play tentative away. Honduras will be a good test, but in Chicago, USA should win:
June 3rd (USA 2-0)
June 6th (USA 1-0)
Also, heads up for June 15th and 18th when USA plays in the Confederations Cup. They open with Italy on the 15th and Brazil on the 18th. It will be interesting to see how they match up right now. I think USA matches up well with the Defending World Cup champs. Remember or NOT, they tied during USA's dismal tour in 2006.
