Did anyone watch Michael Phelps and the rest of the Olympic swimming team last night handle their business? USA is on a tear in the Olympics and now have more medals than any other country.

But the one that excites me the most of course is the Men’s soccer team having a chance to advance from a round where nobody thought they had a chance. And what a BS call against Stuart Holden in injury time to let Holland get the equalizer on Sunday, I was screaming at my television at 7am waking up the neighbors. Dissapointing since we could have advanced with the win.

So now we need to get at least a tie against Nigeria and we will be without Freddy Adu (who was on FIRE againt Holland) and Michael Bradley (who has been dissapointing dating back to the friendlies against Spain, England, and Argentina… he seems to be a standout in the dutch league because the pace of play is slower, not so sure he’s ready for the EPL). So here is the formation I think Nowak will field:

—————Guzan———-

–Wynne—–Parkhurst–Edu——–Orozco

Rogers—Klejstan—-Holden—–Szetela–

———-Altidore—Mchead———-

Hopefully Mcbride can step his game up and Altidore can show what he’s amde of as well. Jozy might not be 100% but sometimes you have to suck it up. Orozco has been dissapointing as of late and Wynne has completely outplayed him on the other side. I am hoping for a big game from him, he played well in qualifyers and is capable of a lot more.

I am also really looking forward to lunch with the Microsoft folks later this week. Hopefully I’ll have enough energy after waking up at the buttcrack of dawn tomorrow morning to see our boys advance to the next round. USA!!
