Opening thoughts

Uh oh, this may turn into a live blogging event, that will be read by 3 people.

Pretty cool to hear probably close to 50,000 people at the game singing the national anthem.

Whose this Marcela Balboa guy? Didn't he play the gigolo in Deuce Bigelow 1? Ha, the fact that I have to put a '1' after that is flat out ridiculous.

Slow start to the game. I don't know anything about soccer, but from what I have heard other people say the team needs to use their 'athleticism' and 'speed' to create some scoring opportunities. I use quotes because the US team doesn't look any more athletic or faster than these other guys.

YELLOW CARD! Not sure why, but this is good for the US I think. "very promising" development was the commentator's quote.
