Life, Randomness, and What Have You

I watched the entire replay of this game even though I knew the outcome. This game was a tell of two half's, Japan winning the first and the US winning the second. Japan had two golden opportunities in the first half with point blank chances on the net that were ultimately fanned on. Thanks for that guys. In the second half, we got a quick goal from Holden in the 47th minute and we did a much better job of securing the back line after that, yet there will still some close calls. We have some legitimate stars on this team -- Adu, McBride, and Holden, but holy Altidore! Keep on eye on this guy. He subbed for Mcbribe in the 75th minute and had two exciting breakaway chances that were subsequently denied by the Japanese defense. We need Adu to cash in when he can, but I can't wait to see more of Altidore. What an exciting young team! Next game is tomorrow @ 7:45am ET vs. the Dutchmen, bring it on! Be sure to TIVO this one if you can...
