That's Koller. Yes, He's out at least until the next round with a hamstring injury.

Klose is the striker from Germany with a very simular style.

That helps us in the Italia game.

The striker the Czechs played in the Ghana game received his scond yellow and is out for the Italy game. Also, I think Milan Baros is out again.

Wow these 2 are completely different players. They are nothing alike.

US needs to worry only about Ghana and let the rest play out as it will. If they do beat Ghana and do not advance, then so be it. But to lose to Ghana (not that they aren't good) and then have Italy win would be tough to take.

Absolutely right, luckily the games start at the same time so the US only has to focus on their result.

So far the only change Arena said was Conrad would replace Pope. He didn't say what he was going to do with Mastroeni's vacated spot, whether he plans to add another striker(Johnson) or have someone like O'Brien replace Pablo in the midfield. Who will start at LMF, Beasley or Convey?

As completely average as McBride has been he'll still start. Arena said something about how McBride is such a warrior and has done everything he has asked of him (I'm assuming he didn't ask him to actually put a shot on goal then??).

The US has a grand total of 1 shot on goal in 2 games(a bunch of shots off the mark), lowest of any team in the WC. The US has to do something to create real scoring chances.
