You're riding the long winding road of the World Cup highway and the last petrol stop is owned by a blue topped hair-gelled Italian...

American:  "Can I fill 'er cause my lot needs some gas"..

Italian:  "I gotta no petrola for a u." 

Indeed it was a gutless stretch for the USA, who desperately need some fuel to inspire them against the three times Azzuri world champions.  The limp performance on Monday left USA fans devoid of spirit and utterly deflated...Rumour has it that DMB has talked his way onto "The Bruce's" bench and that Dempsey and fast Eddie will be taking the pitch come kick off in Nuremberg...

Will it mattter?  Is it too late? 

Not yet.  Support was on a high before the Czechs, now Sam's Army wants you...more than ever before. So get yer Red, White and Blues on because this is 'D' Day.
