Peru is buzzing with speculation about the outcome of these Americas tourneys this week, with the situation do or die for the four teams involved. Jfarb, namssor, and the rest of the NT staff have flown out here for help heading into their semis game against Argentina. Jfarb constantly stalks Nemesio, muttering something about the NT the whole time. Apparently it's unintelligible to everyone but those two. Either way, namssor continues his long line of TWSS jokes, however the jetlag has caused him to tell those jokes after almost everything someone says. While it puts a damper on the jokes, the spirits are high in the US camp.
Brian is also here as Nemesio's bodyguard, but is always distracted with something or another allowing Jfarb to follow him. Wozz has given up the disguises, but is updating our revamped database page:

I was roving around the group bouncing PR ideas off of SpF, but they were mainly in a haze due to the slight heatstroke from the high UV index in Peru. It's terrible this time of year. Either way, the US were ready to roll, until last night. Unexpectedly, Lloyd Suarez was mistakenly taken on the wrong flight to customs agents in Mexico. Long story short, I was able to enlist a task force (with bribing) that found Lloyd and was able to bring him back to Peru for tonight's game.
Watch Suarez and the U21 team attempt to clinch a spot in next season's Worlds tournament against Argentina and make the finals of the Americas tournament tonight at 6:30 Eastern, 3:30 Pacific. Discussion of this game can be found on our in-the-midst-of-change offsite forum:
