Just thought I'd mention this, in case anyone didn't know it was happening tomorrow (and also because I'm intending to be there). Only a friendly, but both teams are preparing for the World Cup in Germany later this year. Both have had some pretty mediocre results lately, what with the US losing to Mexico in the qualifiers and England losing to freaking Scotland for the first time ever just last month. So we could both use a win.
Live on ESPN2 in the US, or the FA website in the UK if anyone else in England happens to be randomly reading this.

Thanks for the reminder, I need to record this.
I'd be really surprised if either team fields their A squad in this game. I'm not sayin' it'll be a total B-squad game, but I wouldn't wanna risk certain players getting injured this close to the start of the Cup, but we'll see.
Prediction: I'm calling a draw, 1-1.

That's a really quite remarkably mediocre USA team you've got there. Yikes.
It's hard to see anyone beating either Germany or Brazil in the World Cup except the other one of Germany/Brazil when they meet in the final. The US might be theoretically 'ranked' #1 in the World, but that team didn't look anywhere near good enough to beat either of them tonight.

Wasn't too impressed with the US team, myself. I didn't get the last 2-3 minutes of the match, but I'm willing to bet the game ended 2-1?
Either way, England deserved to win. They played better overall.

| Yeah, Yankey's goal was great. If that's an uncertain starting 11, then I like England's chances to do well in the Cup. I already think they get out of the group, but I'm not sure whether they're gonna win the group or not. Either way, I was definitely impressed by them yesterday.
