It's 5AM - are you ready to root for America?

Seriously.  If you're a true USA soccer fan, you should've been up about an hour ago getting the stage set to watch the national team put a beat down on Slovenia.  I'm actually pretty nervous.  I'm just going to have some oatmeal with some wheat toast. 

If the US played every day - I'd be insanely skinny I think.

Today is the only game of the group stage that I get to watch live.  I plan on taking full advantage.  Although, 'full advantage' is a bit of a stretch.  I really can't see me have chips and dip with a scotch at 6:30AM for the kickoff.  I know the whole saying, "it's 5 o'clock somewhere"....  But I've got kids in the house, man.  As soon as the game is over, we're transitioning the TV set into Dora the Explorer and Yo Gabba Gabba.  Then how cool would I look with a drink and party food stains on the front of my shirt?  Not very cool at all.

So do yourselves a favor - put on a pot of water for your oatmeal and green tea, and root like hell anyways.
