USA lineup: Howard; Cherundolo, Goodson, Ream, Bocanegra; Dempsey, Bradley, Jones, Donovan; Altidore, Agudelo

Subs: Hahnemann, Bedoya, Edu, Kljestan, Lichaj, Onyewu, Wondolowski

USA backline doesn't look very strong, that is a good sign.... until we see the obvious that Howard is in goal. This guy is like a wall, definatly a world class keeper in my opinion. I am feeling very optimistic about this one but when I bring myself back down to reality I think Canada's best result is going to be a scoreless draw.

GO CANADA GO!!!!

Am I the only one who feels that Borjan is better than Hirschfeld and should be starting?

He might be a better athlete and shot stopper, but I don't think Hart was pleased with how disorganized the D was on Ecuador's 1st goal (from the corner). A lot of that blame has to go to the keeper. Hirschfeld has the experience, even though the shot-stopping edge might go to Milan. And despite the fact I've heard two podcasts (ICF and Footy Show) claiming Borjan was the only guy getting regular games, Lars has also played basically every club game for which he's been available since the beginning of 2010.

I think he's got the potential to be better, since he is still young, but right now it's better to go with the more experienced keeper. Play Borjan against Panama or Guadeloupe, but definitely want Lars against the US.

Borjan has the potential to go higher in his career and they are close now, but Hirschfeld is more experienced. Slight edge to Hirschfeld but the gap is closing.
