Picture from friendly between USA and POLSKA
at Soldier Field, Chicago July 11, 2004.

In about an hour the United States Men’s Soccer Team
will take on Norway in friendly in California.

After last week’s un-media covered event (no tv or radio)
between USA and Canada (which drew 0 – 0),
it seems unlikely for the US to be a real
power in this upcoming World Cup beginning in June.
Canada is a team that Bruce Arena’s Team should’ve handled.
The US should at least win against Norway tonight,
as Mexico did mid-week, 2 – 1.
We will see more shortly…..

-Afterward-
5 – 0 win over Norway surprises even me.
With the United States ranked 7th in the world,
they showed why. Well Done!
