U.S.

Preamble:

Jürgen Klinsmann

So should feel very happy right now: a great victory against Scotland to begin a series of international matches - five in 18 days - in a year that saw USMNT beat one of the world powers, Italy

Meanwhile, Brazil has a pretty decent recent history - win the last seven years and losing only once in the last 17 -. And it was against Germany in Stuttgart

Brazil - and win the World Cup five - have a dominant record on the United States: 16 games, won 15 Brazil and the United States a. This is a victory came in the CONCACAF Gold Cup semi-final in 2003. But there were some close matches, with the final Confederations Cup 2009 - when the United States defeated Spain in the tournament (although Brazil had already lost too) - so that the high quality entertainment

Without a tournament this summer, Klinsmann said he wanted this intense period of action to recreate some of the intensity of a tournament - and ends with the start of the playoffs the World Cup. Klinsmann said:

We try this time would be a small tournament, because this area is a lot about how players build chemistry and facing a long period of time together. So they are willing to go the extra mile in this period of time to answer many questions in this section. That is why we are calling about a mini-tournament.

predictions

guess I'll have to venture some predictions encourage you a lot, so I predict the first time these two teams: . 1-1

is a young Brazilian, only two players over 25 years. There is a huge amount of experience there, of course, and it is unlikely to be overwhelmed by the atmosphere or in opposition. But this team grows in U.S. Klinsmann and, although the Scotland result can not be a guide for tonight, some form.

On a similar theme: Chris Horymski twitter: "@ Busfield marketing genius that children who have just left the XI All U.S. carry a huge Ronald McDonald M"

Your thoughts on Ronald etc welcome, but can not move until halftime - with the hope that the game is too good. Of course, if he's a bastard, I can pray for email before that date.
