Game v. Australia

Tomorrow at 8:30 am est/5:30 am pst on ESPN2/ESPN3.com. The USMNT will be facing their last test before England in the socceroos of Australia. This final tune up will provide a chance for Coach Bob Bradley to set his final lineup and tinker one last time. I would bet Jozy Altidore rests his injured ankle and according to various reports, the team is not overly worried and he should be healthy come June 12th. My predicted lineup and score...

Howard

Cherundolo Onyewu Demerit Bocanegra

Dempsey Bradley Edu Donovan

Buddle Findley

Final score: 1-1

Injury News

As if injuries haven't been an issue already for Bob Bradley and the boys, projected starting forward Jozy Altidore left practice and was hospitalized due to a mild ankle sprain. The MRI came back negative and he's listed as being day to day.

I would bet he sits out the Australia game come Saturday for additional treatment so he can get ready for England on June 12th. I believe Bradley is hellbent on having Herculez Gomez coming off the bench in order to add a spark, so look for Edson Buddle and Robbie Findley to get the start against the Socceroos.
