The United States will take on Costa Rica tonite in an important World Cup qualifier.
The U.S. have never won in the land of the “Ticos” but have proven with results in Guatemala and El Salvador that they are capable of earning points.
Could be some real lineup surprises tonite……How should the U.S. line up in this one on the rock hard artificial surface of Saprissa Stadium?
Lone striker with a five man midfield? Who starts at left back? And something tells me Ricardo Clark might just get a run in this one……
Don’t miss this one on Espn2 tonite!!!!

DAVID BECKHAM speaks on MLSNET.com
Kyle Martino a former member of the Galaxy interviewed him in Milan and Becks it seems says all the right things.
You be the judge and listen to the interview.

DENILSON
You remember the FC Dallas bust who has become a globe trotting soccer mercenary. His next stop now is Cement FC in Vietnam.
The Vietnamese love their football.

ADRIANO
The saga continues for the former Inter Milan and Brazil striker. After debuting for Flamengo he missed training on Tuesday.
Lets hope that he is off the bottle.

TORONTO FC
Well if the plan to rest players and change the lineup in Houston was to improve chances to win last night against Vancouver it back-fired.
The Whitecaps beat Toronto FC and Dwayne DeRosario 2-0. With one game left Toronto FC must beat Montreal to get in the Champions League.
The after effects of the loss to the Dynamo may have lingered into last night’s match.
