The USMNT takes on Brazil tonight at 8:00 EST at FedEx Field in Landover, MD. I really hope the US sports those new jerseys as they are pretty sweet. This will be a stiff test for the team as they will have to be disciplined to stave off the incredible team speed the Brazilians possess. My prediction is that the two teams play to a 2-2 draw on US soil. If it was anywhere else I'd give them Brazilians a 1 goal edge, but I believe the US is playing very well right now,and are much better in the midfield and defense than in 2008 when they lost the Confederations Cup final to Brazil 3-2 in South Africa. Should be an entertaining watch!
Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals is also tonight at 8:30 EST, which happens to be right around halftime of the US vs Brazil match. I look for Boston to bounce back with a close win in Miami tonight and Ray Allen and Paul Pierce to rebound from their horrid performances in Game 1. Also, keep a close eye on the officiating to see if the scales are balanced and more than a few unwarranted technicals are levied on the Miami Heat. Boston wins 88-80.
