Starting any international tournament out on the right step is crucial to getting past the group stages. Big ups to our boys on the US  Olympic Team for getting the crucial win in their opening match against Japan. Staurt Holden’s goal could prove to be critical to getting out of their extremely difficult group. On to Holland fellas…

—– Adu (Yellow) ——— McBride (Capt) (Altidore 74th minute) ——

Rogers (Szetela 87th minute) — Kljestan — Bradley (Yellow) — Holden (Feilhaber 83rd minute)

Orozco — Parkhurst — Edu — Wynne

———— Guzan (Yellow)—————-

Japan

———- Morimoto ————

———– Honda (Yellow)————

Honda (Yellow) - Taniguchi - Kajiyama - Kagawa

Mizumoto - Nagamoto - Morishige - Uchida

——— Nishikawa ———–

Guzan, Parkhurst, Orozco, Wynne, Holden, Bradley, Kljestan and Edu are looking very good. And I’m going to say it again, Edu should get a very serious look at Center-back for World Cup although these last 5 minutes of the match he’s been playing on the edge.
