I think we can win. I think we can draw. I know we can lose. All three outcomes are possible, and the tactics of the game have been poured over endlessly. In the end, this will come down not to who the managers chose as their starting 11, but how those players perform and how the managers adjust.U.S. fans know that there are two U.S. teams. One team plays fearlessly... plays as as one, plays above its talent and demonstrates the no holds bar, the can't-hold-us-down aggression that we Americans often think of as inherent cultural traits. And the other team is one that can look overwhelmed by the situation, shows nerve in the face of a more celebrated opponent, and plays as if the game is new to our country. Sometimes, both teams appear simultaneously in the same game -- witness the Turkey friendly. So the key intangible is how the U.S. will come to play mentally. Do we show up as if we have nothing to lose, or do we play scared?
