I'll call The Duke and make sure we can get a TV in the snug. Even if I'm alone I'll make sure option is there. But, let me know if you can make it.

I think it's safe to say that if Boakai does not get his first cap that we can crack open our heads and feast on the goo inside

I'm a little less pessimistic. El Salvador lost 3-0 and they traditionally play more open than we do. Our defensive shape and team pressing have improved greatly under Benito. Even if Colombia really attack us with intent it won't be easy for them to break us down. My main concern are unforced errors... a la Straith versus Greece. If we are really focused I think we can limit them to a goal or two. Let's see how we cope.

Ousted has been fantastic, his shouting keeps guys accountable. Beitashour has been better since there tiff in the game a few weeks ago. He also has taken over the vocal role since DeMerit's departure, and rightly so Waston is great but not ready to or aware enough to direct everyone and O'Brien is too quiet too. After a offseason of questions, this team has come around to win some big games. Was nice to see Froese get in for a big game and hold his own.

Maybe he is home for the holidays and is merely fed up with his druncle.

Like I've always said, the Caps love Canada.
