The American team was pulled out of their luxury hotel and have been training at a US military base.

While on the other hand the Italian players have admitted they have no idea who the Americans are.

The Italians might not know anything about our guys but they are going to get an introduction they will never forget!

My confidence is high!

We have yet to see a real major upset in the tournament, why not the US today?

I'm glad your confidence is high. This looks like a quality Italian team. A formidable challenge no matter who the opponent would be.

I'm praying for respect. Anything else is a bonus. I would love to see the US play well today.

Where did you get that info?

I heard about that. The Italian team isn't exactly shaking in their boots, are they. :) Wouldn't it be sweeeeet if they got the surprise of their lives.

LOL!! I wonder what fate awaits them if they lose to Italy.

Won't happen, though. I have high hopes for the next game. Especially after watching the underdog, Ghana, hammer the Czechs.

Good luck, USA!!
