Well that didn't take long...

That is, for a prediction of mine to be completely dead wrong: the US and Canada played out a scoreless draw last night. Having not seen the game, it's hard to say what exactly went wrong for the US, although it might have something to do with the finishing: only two of the ten shots on target. I listened to the first half on the US Soccer feed, and it sounded like Canada was really taking the game to the US and over-running them in midfield.

Only a few people gave a rating to the game on Sams-Army, but based on those who did, it seems like the only person who stood out was Pearce at left back.

Oh, and Freddy Adu made his US debut as a sub and got a yellow card for diving, which is really pretty funny. (Note his odd non-denial in the Post article!)
