US v. Jamaica: What would you like to see?
Does the US need to bounce back from Germany by winning by a large margin? Are you looking for a domestic player to step up and shine? Or are you just ready for Bruce Arena to pick a squad and get on with it? Other things to look for include:
-Tony Meola's farewell tour and 100th US Cap. The keeper was playing for the national team in 1990. 1990! That's 16 years, yo.
-Can Donovan dominate when he should against a young but speedy Jamaican midfield?
-The crowd in Cary, NC. The game sold out quickly. Will it be a haven for the Americans, or will more the crowd be pro-Jamaica?
-And speaking of the Reggae Boyz, any Jamaican fans out there?

This is the last chance for the fence-sitters to make a positive impression on Arena. I'm looking forward to seeing the guys come out and playing passionately for a shot at a spot on the roster. Hopefully O’Brien is recovered enough to get out and play for a few minutes. He's had a tough time with the injuries.

The U.S. and Arena need to make a statement.And they need to start NOW!By playing 3rd & 4th string players and finding bench players are cool but we need to re-group and get the starters in to play together.

I hear you in Wales. I'm looking forward to seeing O'Brien play. It's been awhile. HOpefully he can regain his form and keep his fitness. My prediction: US wins 3-0.

So do y'all think that ANYONE made a good case for themselves? Donovan played well and set up plenty of opportunities... but he's a shoe-in anyway.
