Subject: Team USA vs. Columbia

This week we have a friendly match against Columbia. So far in World Cup play they've beaten Costa Rica and lost to Italy. Our lineup this week will feature a few changes and a new tactic that may prove useful in the future.

Ventura scores 3 as we earn a 4-4 draw with Columbia. This tactic wasn't tailored towards Columbia, and some of our best were on the bench, so it was a decent match for us. Only problem is that we now have 3 players with red cards heading into our next match. However, we should be able to handle Russia without them next week.

i hope you dont plan on playing starters in friendlies before tougher matches, even now risk of injury isnt worth it. we wont care if you lose a friendly with that in mind =D
