There is no way to deny how big of a game this has become. However, a loss isn't the end of the world and does nothing to change what this team has shown. I feel like we can certainly win this game, but I just don't know if I see that happening.

God, I hope we don't get our *** kicked!

Here are the lineups from US MNT Blog:

U.S. Lineup vs. Brazil

1-Tim Howard
3-Carlos Bocanegra (capt)
5-Oguchi Onyewu
8-Clint Dempsey
9-Charlie Davies
10-Landon Donovan
12-Jonathan Spector
13-Ricardo Clark
15-Jay DeMerit
17-Jozy Altidore
22-Benny Feilhaber

The only change from the Spain game will be Feilhaber replacing the suspended Michael Bradley in midfield.

Here is what Brazil counters with:

1-Julio Cesar
2-Maicon
3-Lucio (capt)
5-Felipe Melo
8-Gilberto Silva
9-Luis Fabiano
10-Kaka
11-Robinho
14-Luisao
16-Andre Santos
18-Ramires

we play with the same determination and effort we did against Spain. I can live with whatever result comes from that. I feel like we will carry a lot of confidence in. We've got to defend our asses off the first 10-15 minutes and not allow an early goal.

I really believe that this is the best team in the World. Spain was good but they were only number 1 because they won the euro cup last summer. Brazil has the most talent and defends very very well. This is exciting because we got some good competition during this tournament and the score today should determine if that last game was just a fluke. If the US comes out and holds Brazil to one or two goals that will be good. We need to put one on the board early though. GO USA!

Edit say: Good to hear that they will spray for bees in South Africa for the world cup. That sound is so so annoying.

1-0 US. Dempsey volley from a Spector cross.

I knew the cross was great when he hit it, but the volley was a bit unexpected. Dempsey's third goal in as many games- glad he's finally coming in, he certainly has had the talent.

On the other end, good save from Tim Howard to save a goal.

has finally figured it out in this tournament. He has done all of the dirty work to win balls back in midfield. Instead of standing around waiting for the ball, he's defending and creating. Kudos to him, he's been (rightly) criticized in the past.

After all, he is the team leader. But the more he creates the better off we are as a team. I think Phil Turner is a poor mans Landon Donovan.

Calling a goal in soccer "not exhilatating" is absolutely horrendous. It's the most celebrated 15 seconds out of anything in the world of sports. You must not know **** about soccer. And love the cock like your Ole Miss Pride buddy with the rainbow flag.

1. Not an Ole Miss fan. It's a joke that apparently you missed. I go to State.
2. Definitely not gay.

Tim Howard's one of the best keepers in the world. No question. As a friend said, let me know when Alex Ferguson starts another American in his lineup (omitting Rossi, who plays for Italy).

Damn I wish Dempsey had hit that shot.

This is what I'm worried about- we really need a sub, but because of Michael Bradley's red, we don't really have any big impact players we can pull, mostly just role-type guys. We definitely need a spark right now.

Elano for Brazil is a guy capable of giving them a spark- very smart mid.
