Apparently Italy’s giving us a little respect…for what it’s worth:

“All the games now will have a certain level of difficulty, we know there is no easy rival at this point,” said Del Bosque. “[The Americans] have a very aggressive midfield and they don’t play around. All four midfielders can have an offensive effect, and [Landon] Donovan is very dangerous when given space.

“[Clint] Dempsey is another one with a good aerial game and he can hurt you in many ways. The other day, they played with a player next to [Jozy] Altidore that we hadn’t seen before, [Charlie] Davies, and he created a lot of danger as well. We have to be careful of their strengths, and a quick attack is one of them. We saw how Egypt played against Italy and the other day they were completely swept away by the speed of the American attack.”

Added midfielder Albert Riera, “The U.S. are very compact and working as a team. They have very good players in front. Two or three offensive players are doing things very well, but the most important thing for them is the teamwork.”

NOTE TO COACH BRADLEY: Did you notice they didn’t mention Conner Casey? I’m just using this for my own purposes. US 2-1 SPAIN.

They are actually previewing the U.S. v. Spain game on SportsCenter the night before the game. So its growing steadily. Maybe one day we’ll have our mafioso involved somehow with a leg breaking scandal. One can only hope.

If only soccer was bigger in America. We have some pretty big Mob Familys, if they were interested in soccer they could be out breaking Spainish players legs and such. Organized crime isn’t want it used to be, soo disappointing.
