This is a wonderful set of friendlies, if I do say so myself. The Chile match will be a good chance for younger players to prove themselves in the national team setup. Egypt will be a delightful rematch after the USA shellacked them 3-0 at the Gold Cup in 2009. The Argentina match is of much interest and one that I will be attending. Given the prestige of the Argentineans and last match between the two at the Meadowlands (which I was lucky enough to attend), this game should be a cracker. Last but not least, Paraguay should be a good test for the USA, given their liveliness at the last World Cup and increasing pool of talent.
Enjoy the games, friends!

I hope they come play a game in Seattle sometime soon. The Meadowlands is good for atleast a few games a year.. you guys are lucky!
ReplyDeleteI know, right. Totally bought 10 tickets to the Argentina game. Remember the last one?! Should be good.
ReplyDeleteHey did you hear the Timbers signed Kenny Cooper? Not bad...he's a quality striker for the MLS.
Yeah that's a big signing.. can't wait to watch him play. There's talk of old boy Marcus Hahnemann coming to Portland too.
