Nats Update

The US National team is off to a decent start in the CONCACAF Gold Cup...

They had a bit of a rocky start against the biggest collection of thugs in CONCACAF (aka Guatamala)... We never blow out Guatamala because they play a ridiculously dirty/physical game that it always slows things down...

Then it was off to play the always fun T&T... Everyone is talking about Brian Ching, or the ridiculous record Donovan just broke or Johnathan Spector (did he really play that well??)...

But the two players that did amazingly well (and i mean, absolutely, positively, amazingly well) were Frank Simek and Justin Mapp. Both players showed an attacking verve that we haven't had in years. I was particularly impressed with Frank Simek who led the attack at several points while also doing great work down the flank on defense.

Then we get to tonight... 4-0 vs. El Salvador... A game in which DeMarcus Beasley scores twice along with a Twellman goal as well as a Donovan PK freebie...

The USA is doing very well right now... It'll be interesting to see the line-up that Bradley fields in the next game since we're about to hit the "real" games...
