I Predict Things

If you want to see the best homefield advantage in sports, check out the US/Costa Rica match tonight on ESPN2. Here is a quick highlight of Costa Rica's last home match.



Costa Rica is 18-1-2 at home since 2000 and the US is 0-5-1 in World Cup qualifying matches played there. Hurting the US chances tonight will be the fact that they will be without their top two at right back due to injury and left back has once again become a pretty big concern for the side as Heath Pierce has gone from having a solid hold on the spot to fighting for a spot on the team. I think coach Bradley will go with his most experienced line-up tonight with the rule of thumb in World Cup qualifying being, three at home and one on the road. I think the US gets that one point tonight.

Current Prediction Record - 9-5
