Wish I could be there. I'm jealous. Scores dont really matter in a friendly. I just want to see the USA look sharp against such a great team. And I want to see some Messi Magic. The guy is easily the best player in the world imo. They have already sold over 60k tickets.

Yes it will be televised. I believe ESPN and also the spanish network. Look up the channels but I'm pretty sure it will be televised.

This is a warmup for them for the Copa America which I believe will be in Argentina in a couple of months. So they will bring many of their big guns and also a few that the coaches are looking at in order to finalize their Copa America roster.

For the most part it will be a lot of their main guns. Some unfortunately will be missing due to injury : Higuain, Tevez, Walter Samuel.

Should be there: Messi, DiMaria, Pastore, Zenetti, Cambiaso and other big guns.

Expected for the US are : Donovan, Dempsey, Altidore, Howard, Onyewu and other starters.

Game is sold out, over 60K will be at the stadium. Meadowlands have sent out Traffic Advisory emails letting everyone know to arrive early and to carpool as much as possible due to the turnout.

Messi is definately there and playing. He was hanging out with Thierry Henry in New York yesterday. ESPN2 at 7 eastern time.

Also, if this isnt a big enough friendly, they just announced the champs from Spain will be coming to play us in Foxborough in June. How cool is that?

Can't wait to watch.... interested to see how we play... hate that Stuart Holden is out thanks to the injury he received playing against manu...

Also, it is time for us to find the guy who is going to step up and become America's next best player... Donovan is good through the next World Cup, but we need someone to come up through the ranks ready to take over...

Of course that guy could be 16 right now.. who knows...

Argentina 3 USA 1, if messi can bring his Barca form anyway....If not, who knows???

Anyone know if Charlie Davies is fit yet? The US striker guy that got in a car wreck before world cup '10? That dude has some pace, and would be killer up front w/ Donovan.

Not fit, but still getting there. There was an actually a great article on his determination on ESPN last week.

Yeah, what happened to Stuart was brutal. I go to all the Dynamo games and saw him rise from a bench player, to a team star, to a mvp candidate for Bolton in one of the top leagues in the world. I was sure this was the year he would make his mark with the National team. I hope he can recover strong.

The next star is currently being touted as 18 year old forward Juan Aguedelo from New Jersey. He scored in his first USA appearance and last week scored his first MLS goal for New York on a really slick individual effort. It was the game winner. Having Henry play next to you cant hurt either. Jozy will probably start, but I'll bet he plays tommorow.

Well, it seems that Batista has cleaned up Maradona's mess quite well. Argentina are playing superb football. A clinic, really.

It was nice to see the US close down the soft spaces in the second half. The quick one touch passing made them hesitant to challenge the ball, but laying back and playing soft doesn't work. Good game. Argentina still amazed me in the first half. Wonderful quick passing attack.

I hope it was a better game than the Wales England match. It was dire.

Anyway, here`s Messi pictured at home.

Argentina looked like the futbol version of the Harlem Globetrotters in the fist half. An incredible performance. They should have put 3 or 4 in the net. Tim Howard gave us life and I'm proud of the USA for showing the guts to come back and tie it up.

Excellent second half and solid work by the young guys Aguedelo and Chandler. They lived up to the hype (for one night anyway)
