I was at the US match Sunday and the Armas injury was so bizarre! He played hard and well for about 10 minutes AFTER the fall! It is definitely a huge disappointment for the US in the final stages of preparations! We do, however, have some options at that defensive midfield position and time to prepare. John O' and Pablo Mastroeni are extremely talented and tough (not as tough as Armas, mind you). They also bring a little more playmaking ability into the line-up, in my opinion. It is certainly a huge set back for the US. Here's hoping that Chris will have a speedy, full recovery and get the chance to shine on the international stage in future competitions (Germany 2006)
