Football wise, one of the USA's most storied wins came at the 1950 World Cup, exactly in which by by a hastily assembled team of intended no-hopers shocked an England team that was intended to be the greatest in the world by winning 1-0. Sixty years later the disparity in talent isn't nearly as big. But that established old world (England) vs ambitious new world (USA) dynamic is still in impact, and a victory for the USA in this game arguably represents another step forward for US Soccer. Also at stake: steak.
The USA's most potent attacking player is probably Landon Donovan, who will likely start on the right wing. If he does, he'll be up against England left back Ashley Cole, who likes to get forward a bit himself. However, Cole's defensive skills are often underrated so the USA will arguably have a whole lot a ton much more luck on the other flank in which Clint Dempsey will likely be attacking the significantly much less defensively sound Glen Johnson. Other matchups worth watching out for: Youthful and fast US striker Jozy Altidore vs not so youthful or so fast (but a great deal far additional famous) England defender John Terry. Going the other way, Wayne Rooney is a class above America's defence, despite the fact that possible England targetmen Peter Crouch or Emile Heskey could find themselves on the losing end of a physical battle with big American defenders Oguchi Onyewu and Jay DeMerit.
This one's near to my heart. I'm an England fan first, but have plenty of space in my heart for the US team. I want to say 1-1 draw, but the reality will be much more like a narrow 2-1 England win after a hard fought game.
