is Claudio Reyna in the US team? its a bit early for him after his injury, but its great to see him back!
John Oster is in the welsh team - he plays for sunderland. he has great skill and technique but his passing and shooting is abysmal! he often scores though, so be aware
Wales are missing Hartson, Bellamy, Speed and Giggs so i think the US will win. i'll go for 3-1 same as shadowboxer, with Oster getting Wales' goal

US SQUAD (4th string goalkeeper) Goalkeepers: Joe Cannon (RC Lens), Nick Rimando (D.C. United) Defenders: Jeff Agoos (San Jose), C.J. Brown (Chicago), Richard Mulrooney (San Jose), Mike Petke (D.C. United), Greg Vanney (F.C. Bastia) Midfielders: Bobby Convey (D.C. United), Ramiro Corrales (San Jose), Eddie Lewis (Preston North End), Ben Olsen (D.C. United), Claudio Reyna (Sunderland), Earnie Stewart (D.C. United) Forwards: Brian Ching (San Jose), Landon Donovan (San Jose), Alecko Eskandarian (D.C. United), Jovan Kirovski (Birmingham City). pretty much just these guys ,(Reyna on the bench still injured, he said he will play in the gold cup) Wales' unbeaten run ends 27 May International Friendly - USA 2 Wales 0 Wales' ten-match unbeaten run came to an end when they slumped to a 2-0 defeat to the USA in San Jose. Mark Hughes' side were without the likes of Ryan Giggs, Gary Speed, Craig Bellamy, Robbie Savage and John Hartson, and their replacements struggled to cope with the World Cup quarter-finalists. The USA dominated proceedings from the start with Landon Donovan and Bobby Convey a constant threat, but they failed to trouble Paul Jones until the 41st minute. Leicester City's Matthew Jones barged over Jovan Kirovski in the penalty area, conceding a penalty and collecting a yellow card in the process. Up stepped Donovan to coolly slot the spot-kick past Paul Jones to give the hosts the lead. Hopes of a Wales comeback were all but ended four minutes into the second half when Matthew Jones handled the ball to prevent Convey breaking clear and was shown a second yellow card. The USA then took complete control of the game and always looked likely to add to their lead, but substitute keeper Darren Ward was in fine form to deny Convey on several occasions. But on the hour mark Ward allowed a weakly struck Eddie Lewis effort to slip under his body and into the bottom corner to make the score 2-0. John Oster came close to pulling a goal back for Wales with a long-range effort, but that proved to be their only real chance of the match. Donovan and Ernie Stewart both went close to adding a third in the closing stages and Hughes' men were ultimately lucky to escape with a 2-0 defeat.

I was very impressed with U.S.A in the world cup. They were very exiting to watch. The Portugal game was one of the best in the tourniment

John Oster played, Daysleeper. Hows he done for you , when he was at Everton I thought he was ace , but a bit lightweight - Ive got a signed picture of him for a police "go to school " campaign

yeah i thought oster was great at Everton too and i was pleased when we signed him. But he has'nt lived up to his potential. basically, his crossing and shooting isn't premiership standard. he has great skill and imagination but he often flatters to decieve. i think sunderland are letting him go this summer

You say his shooting isnt up to standard - Didnt he fire at someone with a pellett gun in training or something weird like that?
