USA needs three more points! I'm hoping for an upset Saturday in Honduras, but they Hondurans look awfully good!

Italy clinches with a win or tie over Ireland this week...

I'm not sure how the game will go...Italy has their best player missing (Cannavaro) but 18 year old Santon should be able to step up.

If they lose that they can still clinch first place with a win over Cyprus...

The difference between USA MNT and Italy MNT is that Judas plays on Italy not USA. AKA Rossi, don't like him and never will, hope USA shows him up next year in the world cup.

Haha well he's not on the team yet. But really Rossi is a good player it just pisses me off that we don't have him, hate to see that talent slip away.

You just have to put yourself in his shoes....

Play for an established world power or a team with potential....

Apparently he grew up with dreams/goals of playing for Italy's top team. He reached his goal...you can't hate on him for that.

The US team will be just fine without him. Altidore is a good striker and he's very young... He'll be the target man for the next decade.

True and yes I do agree why not go play for the world power were he can come off the bench and still get a good amount of playing time. He's a very good player, I just wish we could have him on are time. He would make a great impact in the midfield. Dempsey is always up and down with his play and that, it's like he plays like :!: and then the first time you say something about him he scores a goal. Looking forward to World Cup 2010 next year, hopefully the United States gets a good draw, and not the group of death.

Sweet lord, let's not go through the whole Rossi thing again. He plays for Italy because he wants to and the rules allow for it. The US has benefited from this rule in the past, whether you agree with it or not. I don't know why we are so hung up on it, and to call a 20 something year old footballer Judas because of it is a bit extreme.

I feel pretty strong about the US qualifying. I do not however feel great about their chances of moving past the group stage. We have more talent than ever but do not have the manager to take it to the next level. Its time for a manager that has more experience, on both the club and international level.

No doubt the United States goes to South Africa next year. Call me crazy but I think they will make a deep run into the World Cup next year. We saw what they can do against Spain and Brazil this summer and I think they will have all there pieces put together and will be good to go. Also I would like to point out that this World Cup isn't on European soil, and the previous World Cup not held on European soil had lots of upsets and not typical teams making runs. 1994 World Cup held in U.S. We go through and favorite Columbia is out in the first round. 2002 in Korea, U.S. makes a deep run into the tourny, Korea makes it all the way to the last four. Portugal a favorite is gone in the first round along with previous world cup champ France. I expect crazy things to happen next year in South Africa. It should be fun.

I appreciate your optimism and I will support them through and through, but we can barely beat Trinidad and Tobago right now. No offense, TNT!
