The moment has arrived. The first chance for the U.S. men's national team to clinch a berth in its sixth straight World Cup.

I thought I would leave todays post a little later. There have been two main responses to our lack of action in the transfer market yesterday, the 'OH MY GOD WE ARE SCREWED' reaction, and the 'oh well there is nothing we can do about it now' reaction.

Mine is of the latter, the only player I think we needed was cover for Alex Song for if he got injured and when he is on ACN duty with Cameroon.

I had previously decided that this was the first game of the season that I would actually be caring about.
