USA vs. Spain

Filed under: Spain, US National Team

Man, I am looking forward to this game. I have been very impressed about the way Spain have been playing. Iniesta, Xavi, and Fabregas are just mind blowing. I love the way they play. Knocking the ball, one touch, through balls. WOW!! Personally they are my favorite players. But I believe that the U.S. can give Spain a run for their money. Beating Egypt by 3 showed a lot of character. As a youth player, I would like to see the U.S. knock the ball just like Spain does and give them a taste of their own medicine. I would also like to see the U.S. apply high pressure and work extremely hard. If the U.S. play their cards right, I think they have a shot. Prediction: 2-1 win for U.S.
