Yeah, a win would really be a miracle at this point.

I have a miracle feeling.

Do Red Cards carry in to the next game? Or do they just apply to the current game?

A red-carded player must not play next game, but the team can be completed by replacement players, so it´ll be 11:11.

The US will be back to full strength in the next game, but the particular players who where red carded will receive suspensions.

Can't play in the next game, but you can still field a full side.

Yes. But Lalas is right. Why isn't Beasley running at the Italian defense. And where's Johnson? Is he out there? We need someone to take some runs at their D.

Yes but you've got a German Pope who's lived in Italy for years!

We may have to pray hard!

It'll probably be tougher than this game. I like their wide-open style.
