1. With a new coach in place, there's an awful lot of uncertainty about what's to come. I
think it's best if we just get the obvious, can't-miss prediction out of the way: Our coach
will wear slacks for the first time in nearly five years.
2. Most pundits are expecting a Bradley-type lineup today, since it's Klinsmann's first game

1. Bob Bradley will go with a 4-4-2. The forwards will be the same as the
Spain game, but there will be big changes in the midfield and back line. Landon

(meaning Jones gets the start).
Another contender for snapshot of the year deserves the treatment. Have at it, my friends.

Argentina and Colombia. Maradona was good for a goal and two assists. Valderrama, still holding his
great head of hair, provided the assist for the great bicycle kick of Aristazabal and scored as
