btw, the U.S. played decent in Spain in a pre-Euro friendly last year, and guess who stood out when given a half to play in that match... yep, Freddy Adu. Some YouTubes of the match starring Adu.

Yes, but if I remember correctly the US was coming off a couple of bad losses in their previous friendlies before redeeming themselves against Spain. We could be listening to minutes of "ole's" from the Spanish fans in this game. I would love for them to do well, but I am mentally prepared to get embarrassed. IF they can get on the board early and NOT make sloppy mistakes with possession (Dempsey) they could hold on as long as we don't just lay back and let Spain pick us apart...because eventually they will. I think we've been playing pretty good defense. The goals we give up or mostly from a sloppy clearance or a quick strike after a dumb turnover.
