The comptent contributors to this fine piece of web-writing will be in Chicago this weekend for the so-called "Clash of Champions" between five-time World Cup winners Brazil and... er.... five-time World Cup qualifers (in a row!) United States.

In the build up for the match we'll be previewing both sides and the game that we expect, plus match coverage and post-game interviews with members of both national teams.

Oh wait... nope. I'm just hearing now that players will not be available, but you can catch all the post-match ramblings you want on this blog and our ugly sister podcast page "Seven Guys Short" Radio.
