    Reminder...USMNT face Panama tomorrow, in Panama City. The game will be on ESPN3.com and Galavision at 8:30 PM EST.
    Any guesses on who starts and what the formation will be?

    I'm guessing we'll see a similar lineup to what we saw the other night, but hopefully Der Kaiser will put Wondo and Teal together to start.

    Thanks for the reminder Heather. I'll be watching in Spanish.

    I hope Loyd and Clark start this game as I think they deserve it. Start for Wondo would be good too but bringing him on as a super sub also works for me.

    Klinsmann's first CONCACAF test. Deserves a little music I think.

    Yup, game tonight.

    4-4-2? I wish, but I think Klinsmann will go with his preferred line-up formation, 4-1-3-1-1. I think he rotate a few players from the last game, and Clark may get a start.

    Lucky goal and lucky win. Really unimpressed by the USA once again. Loyd was awful, I must have jinxed him. Poor kid. Shea was a huge disappointment. Jones looked inconsistent and downright stupid at some points. Bunbury's touch was simply awful; I'm note sure he did a single thing good all game. These are good players; very difficult not to think the coaching has something to do with it.

    Ref was horrible as was the camera work.

    The positive. Panama has a damn good coach and some fast skilled players. They threatened us all night

    Yes, they didn't look good last night. They looked a bit better the other night. A lot of factors played into it. The players are in offseason, aren't fit, played a match 4 days ago, and played with 10 men for most of the second half. Panama on the other hand were playing their first match of 2012 and had fresher legs. Yeah, it's all Klinsmann's fault they beat a team, on their home field, that beat us in the Gold Cup on our home field.

    I wouldn't say they threatened us all night because they could barely get a shot off in the final minutes of the game with a man advantage. Not sure why they didn't press us more when we were passing it around the field to kill off the game.

    Well even when they beat us in the Gold Cup the US looked better and not because better players were on the feild, because there were some discernible tactics on display. Forgot to mention, Nick Rimando plalyed really well. The one bright performance from the US

    just want to add that I think Sapong deserves a lot more looks.
