U.S. Men National Team Plays Slovenia in Must Win Today at 10:00 AM EDT on ESPN – Five American Players Former MetroStars/Red Bulls

USA plays Slovenia today in what looks like a must win for the Americans. After the 1-1 draw last Saturday vs. England they will be in great shape to move out of Group C if they defeat Slovenia today. I would like to see the USA move the ball and more aggressively, led by Landon Donovan and Jozy Altidore. There are five former New York MetroStars/Red Bulls playing for the U.S.: Tim Howard, Ricardo Clark, Michael Bradley, Edson Buddle and Jozy Altidore — as well as head coach Bob Bradley. BBC Sport’s Preview can be found here. LET’S GO USA!
"[Slovenia] aren't going to be spectacular, but they're going to be a good, solid team and they're going to be difficult to beat," U.S. midfielder Landon Donovan said. "In theory it seems easier because they don't have a Wayne Rooney or a Frank Lampard or a Steven Gerrard. The reality is, when you have a team that plays well together, it becomes very difficult to beat a team like that."
