I agree -- PLAY EDDIE!!
Look -- if Eddie were to score two against Italy it would turn this whole tournament around for the USA. Eddie has shown he can find the back of the net, and he was the only cat out there who worried the Czechs.
The game tommorrow is on a Saturday and will have a BIG home audience. It's time for Team USA to get its head out of its butt and start playing. I don't care if we get ten yellow cards -- let's at least look like we actually want to win the freaking game.
True, the game is near Rammstein, so there should be a heavy US turnout.
Win or lose, I think we'll see a good effort from the US.
Couldn't agree with you enough. Eddie is our lone wildcard. He has the pace that can surprise an Italian defender.
Other than that, we don't offer much of any surprises. Is O'Brien healthy? Who else can shoot the ball outside the box with any hope of beating Buffon?
Yes, 10 cards, red cards, whatever it takes. As long as at the end of the day, Italy walks off the field with the respect Germany showed in the 2002 Quarterfinal.
That's what I want more than anything.
