I agree about the card to Mastroeni--a straight red card?!?! What a weak ass make-up call that was...

O'Brien will get the start for Mastro, IMO. I just wonder how his fitness is. I'd like to get Eddie J in there as well, but I'm not sure how it will all fit. As for the D, Conrad got the call in the Italy game, so I expect to see him again. But Pope is a big loss--he plays good position Dfense and is a reliable guy. The younger guys are untested, and Ghana has some speed and flair up front. But they lost their 2 goal scorers from the Czech game to yellows, so maybe we'll be ok.

At least we're having this discussion! Man, after the Czech game I thought it was going to be France all over again, where we lost to IRAN! A win will really say we're for real, even if we don't get the help we need. Going 1-1-1 in this very tough group is a big deal. But don't get me wrong--we're gonna smoke Ghana, Italy will ice the Czechs, we'll go on to upset Brazil (avenging our loss to them in the USA world cup), and then it's on to glory!
