7. United States vs. Algeria, June 23, 10 a.m. -- This will be the first-round closer for Bob Bradley's team. Only the red-white-and-bluest of American fans would dare think their boys will have second-round passage secured by this point. Chances are, they'll need a result against the North Africans in Pretoria. Algeria can be a bit erratic, but there is surely talent there. Landon Donovan, Clint Dempsey and Tim Howard, assuming they come through the first two U.S. matches unscathed, will need to carry the day. Get your foam fingers up!
7. 美國vs. 阿爾及利亞,6月23日上午10時 這將是主帥鮑勃·布拉德利第一輪最愿意與之交鋒的一支隊伍。只有那些美國本土的球迷才會大膽地設(shè)想,他們的球隊會有把握在這支球隊身上獲得積分,從而小組出線。機會是有的,但他們還得看比勒陀利亞的結(jié)果如何。阿爾及利亞雖然看上去飄忽不定,毫不起眼,但這支隊伍當中,人才肯定還是有的。假如美國的頭兩場比賽都能毫發(fā)無損地順利過關(guān),蘭登·多諾萬,克林特·鄧普西還有蒂姆·霍華德都急切希望勝利的到手。但愿他們的希望不要破滅!
