Battle's gonna be hard, specially against Argentina, Croatia, Greece and Spain (alphabeticaly).
If they get gold and do not dominate, it's shame, just like we, Brazilians, as far as football (soccer? nah... ) is concerned.

I don't know why he says these players "get it", they got it before in 2002, 2004, and 2006, and still got creamed.
I still predict the U.S. to lose, our gameplans are not sophisticated enough for the international level where teams run complex screen/roll games and use much more zone defense.
The desire is there, but it will be tough to pull off a gold medal.
