US v. Nigeria: Let's Get Ready to Rumble

YanksOlympics

Coach Peter Novak says that tomorrow's massive match with Nigeria is "going to be a fight". Although not at full strength due to yellow cards and Jozy's lingering ankle injury, our boys are rested and ready for what lies ahead. This is what it is all about y'all.

But are you ready for this? Are you ready to be up at 5 a.m. (on USA Network) screaming at your television? Are you ready to deal with the butterflies you'll inevitably feel if Novak does not start Altidore? And are you ready to deal with the onslaught of gloating emails from Nigerian princes (who would like to share their riches with you) if we lose?

How about 2am? and yes I'll be up. Pissed about the suspensions but excited to see what the kiddos can do.

Can I please see McBride kiss his ring and cross himself? PLEASE?

I can't wait for this game to start. I hope the guys put the Netherlands game behind them, and come out firing.

3 am for me. And I can't decide which will be more painful, staying up all the way through or going to sleep and trying to wake up. Either way, I hope it's worth it.

I'm working all night so the getting up part isn't a problem. We got MSNBC in the break room 24/7 so if this is on USA then I'm pissed. It should be live on the Olympic site, I hope.

Gonna have this on the TV, and Arsenal-Twente on sopcast. Hopefully I see lots of goals.

I decided to stay up all night since I don't think I can wake up at 5 A.M. I am tired as hell and it is only 2:37.

I got up at 4 here in H-town to watch it. The guys showed heart today! Not upset with my decision to get up.

They definitely showed some stones. Only wish Orazco wouldn't have taken the "fight thing" so seriously.

If there were any justice in the world, Orozco and Nowak would have to face a firing squad.

Happy they lost. Now the players won't be unnecessarily kept away from their clubs even longer.
