The lack of scoring doesn’t alarm me too much – I’d be more worried about defensive breakdowns at this point, and 3 zeros, and only one goal in the last four games, is encourging indeed. Once we have a full lineup with Reyna back in, we’ll control the games more, and get more chances, I’m hoping.

good decision to edit your blog — would have been better if you just posted a follow-up rather than erasing and then posting it back again.

Awww shucks, here come the mind games. Before you know it, the US will emerge for the Czech game with Phil Jackson as coach and Rasheed Wallace as the creative midfielder.

daryl, you must be right. No way Reyna gets to be Captain for club and country without some mad vaudeville skillz.

Also, Angolan PR would like me to say that I may or may not have posted this comment.

I’m trying not to read too much into it, since this basically was just a scrimmage, but I have a tinge of concern over the fact that we only scored once despite an hour-long man advantage.

Maybe he was impressive on the sidelines, telling jokes, doing impressions, juggling?

Seems like the US have tried to keep it super-secret and Angola have been a bit more relaxed.

If the Angola spokesman is right (and there’s no reason for him to lie) then that has to be good news.

Angola team spokesman Arlindo Macedo said U.S. captain Claudio Reyna was impressive for the Americans, though Kammarman declined to say if Reyna played or not.

Huh??
