US to Play S. Africa, Risk On-Field Decapitations

The Fed has confirmed today that the rumored match between the men's team and South Africa will indeed happen. Somebody better start blowing up the local witch doctor's Blackberry now because as the video above clearly shows, Mother Nature is a moody cow and has been known to throw a hissy in Ellis Park Stadium.

Bob Bradley's selection should be pretty interesting for this one. It falls on an official FIFA international match day, but it just so happens to be the day after MLS Cup. I'd be shocked to see the likes of Taylor Twellman or EJ get on a plane for 23 hours to play in a friendly after finally winning a cup; my uneducated guess is that the side will be split between Euro-based guys and the cream of MLS Cup non-winners.
