    USA - Argentina friendly
    I know this is just a friendly, but the USA always takes these type of games against big opponents serious. Reason? A rare opportunity, outside of the WC, to play against the best in the world. To Argentina, on the other hand, this game is nothing special. Argentina has much better players, but the motivation evens out the playing field, and could tip it in favor of the US. This game is shown live on ESPN.


    Thoughts?

    Weather should play a factor in this one.

      Line ups are huge. No Messi could mean Argentina don't score more than a goal.

      EDIT: looks like messi is playing. This is a friendly so I got no idea how these teams will play eachother, USA want to impress but at the same time they would be honored to concede to Messi. If US was like 10.00 I'd take them for fun, but 4.50 is too serious.

              Under 2.5 is the best play here. This will end 1-1 or 0-0

                20 minutes to kickoff. Let's hope for some action.

                  I'm gonna be watching this game because I'm really bored, and when I watch games just because I'm bored, they usually don't have alot of goals in them. So take the under if you're playing. I'm just gonna watch and fall asleep watching it.

                    Argentina is owning this game, might not be a lot of goals since USA created a bunker around net, kinda wish I payed the under.

                      Cat and mouse. US can't keep possession at all. But it's a friendly so you never know who will play in the second half.

                          I'm liking this Argentina coach a lot, he's got this team playing exactly like Barcelona. Only thing missing is the genius of Xavi and Iniesta in midfield.

                                            Typical US goal. Get a freekick, hit it in the box, mad scramble, turned in from goal line after the goalie wifs.

                                              I watched it on Univision. Not because I speak a bit of spanish but because trying to watch a game on ESPN with that goddamn bottom line is just not possible.

                                                Good game to watch. More fun than a lot of non-friendlies. First half was a show by Argentina. Second half was more physical, and very tense near the end. Lucky US goal made for an exciting finish. I'll take it; 1-1 was among three scores I played (the others 0-0 and Argentina 1-0; these games always seem to end in the same scores).

                                                  It was a damn good goal...scrappy around the box...wasn't no fluke....watch how fast the European lapdogs like Chelsea etc. go hunting for Juan Agudelo...won't be long

                                                    Good game, but a little too under for me. 1-2 wasn't a lot to ask.

                                                      If you had have ended that with "Lay Argentina" or USA +0.5 I would have saluted a great tip
