Anyone else attend the '94 games in Detroit? My Father and I were directly behind the goal that Wynalda scored in against the Swiss. The building was 147 degrees but that goal was awesome.

I tracked the odds in a section of  my Day 2 preview post at the JCB today.

As of now, here's what the prices are:

England: -230

Draw  +300 (3/1)

US  +600 (6/1)

O/U 2.5 goals

Man, the US was like 3/1 when the lines came out weeks ago.

Anybody else read The Beckham Experiment?  I chuckle a little bit everytime I see that ESPN/ABC has Lalas and Gullit in the same analysis team.

I'm actually pretty ok with Clark and Findley instead of Edu or Torres and Buddle.  I don't think the US will see a lot of possession today, and I think Findley is more dangerous on the counterattack than Buddle.  Also, Clark instead of Torres strikes me as good if you aren't going to have the ball anyways.

well, if they're allowed to stab at Tim Howard like that this game will be over in 30 minutes.

No big deal it happens. Marine surgeon general or whatever the main health department in it didn't pass on my asthma waiver despite the fact I haven't had an massive attack since 1999. I'm trying to process with the National Guard right now they are a little more lenient with those issues. If I'm not fit I'm not fit almost 60% of American males in  America aren't fit for the service right now which is pretty shocking.

First  goal of game within the first 10 minutes: 3.5/1

as I am not a soccer fan, but I'm trying to watch this game, and I had a question. What in the hell is that buzzing sound in the stadium? I know I've read about it before, but I can't remember. Thanks
