-USA only manages 0-0 draw with Canada in San Diego. Ugh! The team gets booed off the pitch by pissed off fans. I am glad that one wasn't on TV! Here are a few highlights(?):Freddy Adu claimed his first cap late in the second half, becoming the youngest American to ever play in an official match. He came on in the 81st minute, and got a yellow card in the 85th ..... for Diving! (The crowd sang out: "You dive like Jamie Watson" for several minutes after that one!) Adu was a replacement in the match for Eddie Johnson who came on in the 56th minute, only to go down with a calf injury less than 30 minutes later. No word on the severity of that injury.Matt Reis gets his first cap in goal. He is also the 8th American keeper to get a clean sheet in his debut.The last time the two teams played was July 05 in the Gold Cup with USA winning 2-0. Today the USA had 4 players from that match on its roster (all starters in both matches), while Canada suited & started 8 of 11 from that match, with a 9th starter in this matc
