USMNT Gold Cup match-up vs. Panama brings deja vu over "a dangerous team"

Hello darkness, our old friend. The beginning of the Gold Cup for the US sees them facing Panama again.

And in looking ahead to the match-up, which kicks off the Yanks’ campaign on Saturday at Nissan Stadium (4:30 pm ET | FOX and Univision), nobody’s coming in hot or headstrong.

“Panama’s extremely a tough opponent, especially right out of the gate,” said defender Matt Besler, of Sporting Kansas City, on Thursday afternoon, after the US’ last training session at Nashville’s Lipscomb University. “We seem to have played them a lot in recent years, and every single game’s been different, and they’ve all been very tough, physical battles.”

For some at US camp, a tough opponent to start is a little like ripping off a bandage, with a positive result steamrolling into some momentum in a tournament that could be winnable. But, yes, even a draw will definitely require laser focus.

“They’re a very familiar opponent… It feels like we see them every couple months,” said defender Graham Zusi, also of Sporting Kansas City. “They’re a dangerous team. They play the counter pretty well, and their set pieces are very dangerous as well. This is a game we’re gonna have to be locked in for a full 90 minutes.”

OK one more thing...

One or two stops after the saxophone guy moved on, a crazy woman stood up and started ranting about Germans being arrogant because they have blonde hair. I kid you not. And guess who she was mostly looking at... yea me (I have dark blonde hair, some people call dirty blonde)!

I was sitting there thinking how it is usually the wrong person that gets killed by the crazies. I’m an American!

She was ranting in half Italian and half German. Was really glad when she got off the next stop. I was ready to fend off a meat cleaver or whatever with my broken umbrella.

Then I went to a home improvement store for the picture frame and was handling a large fire axe.

We got laid off from our jobs last week, which is right before vacation next month. We work online from home. The French company that was paying us in dollars to save them money instead of paying in euros said they would call us back when they get more funding. From our point of view it was meant to be temporary because of the money exchange scumbaggery but didn’t want it to end right before the last pay for vacation!

My wife is amazing though. Not only did she find herself a job but also one for me. Ten years ago my wife was an editor at a magazine and had a female intern working for her. Fast forward to today, that former intern hired my wife yesterday. She also married the son of Iggy Pop. :)

Don’t know how long they been married.

Once a week my wife needs to go to the office at the Sony Center. She invited me to go with her. Said I could hangout at the office or even see a movie at the CineStar IMAX Theater there.

Told her I need to look into this job you got me. Writing articles for a medical marijuana database for doctors. She is being overly nice to me because of the bogus court thing. Told her stop it. In a few weeks we will be on our three week beach vacation in Binz. :)

Probably going to need to bring the laptop.
