Clint Mathis and Claudio Reyna are both injured.

Two of the most recognizable names on the U.S. squad sheet may be missing from the final eleven for the North American outsiders’ Group D opener with European powerhouse Portugal on 5 June in Suwon. However, the side remains driven by the steam of a brave team spirit, oozing solidarity.

Hopefully we can do what Senegal did to France, and South Korea did to Poland… provide the world with another upset.

This is the best US team ever. We should be a lock on the second round. But first, we have to perform well against a superior Portugal tomorrow morning. Set your alarms!
