First time in ages that the Socceroos are playing Team Usa in soccer, albeit a friendly. Although I don't think both teams know the meaning of the word. Should be interesting to see two teams from countries where Soccer is way down the pecking order in terms of exposure, get ready for the biggest event in world sport. Good game for both teams to prepare for the World Cup in. The obvious comparison in the teams are the similar types of players. Both teams have excellent goal keepers Howard or Friedel for USA and Schwartzer for Australia. Both teams also have cleaver goal sneak players in Dempsey and Cahil and unless the US has been flying under the rader both teams lack a gun striker. I expect a hard contest, hopefully no injuries, and a low scoring contest due to both teams playing a defensive style which will hold them in good stead for the actual World Cup.
