The USA played a friendly against South Africa yesterday and the starting lineup for the US included only 2 players from the World Cup roster, it did have 6 players getting their first caps for the USA and one 17 year old scoring the decisive goal for the USA. Do we have another Jozy Altidore in the makine with Juan Agudelo? or will he be better? The MLS Final is this Sunday between Colorado and Dallas, will Davide Ferreira make the difference or will the scoring duo of Cummings and Casey score the goals needed? It's all to play for!
