August 12, Should We Be This Over Confident?

Yes, we did beat the USA 5-0, We did beat them in New York, and we did it with a B team. Lets not ignore the fact, though, that out of the fielded US players yesterday, only 2 maybe 3, will see playing time in the Azteca. Bob Bradley will bring the team that upset #1 in the world at the time, Spain and challenged Brazil 2-3. Howard, Donovan, Dempsey, Altidore, Bocanegra will be playing, not Perkins, Rogers, Heaps, and Pause (who are they?). We may be getting Rafa, Salcido, Osorio, Guardado, and Castillo back and playing in front of 100,000 Mexicans but its still 11 vs 11 and its still the same team we lost to many times using our best squad. We have the upper hand, but lets not under estimate. So my question is what can we expect on the 12th? An open, heated battle, or will the Americans be overwhelmed by the thought of another ?
