Not at all.
But still, it'd be nice, and it's a chance to see how our team has progressed since last we played under Klinsmann.
Plus, tough European teams in a tough environment is always good for the younger lads.

What's the future look like for US soccer? Same old same old? Bright with good young players coming up?
Better than when Bradley was at the helm?
etc.

wow that was close.
There are a decent amount of players on the come-up but nothing that seems like a definite situation. A few years ago we had a few where you knew they would come out at least decent, if not great (Altidore, etc.) We really need someone to step up and be that next Donovan or Dempsey.
OH GOD THANK YOU TIM

The good thing is that more of our younger core are playing overseas already and with any luck will end up playing a more complete game than we seem to have been able to put together in the past.
First win against ITALY for the USA!
The future is always looking bright for USA soccer. I wouldn't say same old, same old, the composition of the team is looking different now, with some players getting older, and (some) new players coming in, we're going though a rebuilding stage, and our younger players are pretty promising.
Also, as to whether or not this is better than Bradley, I'll get back to you after Klinsmann's tenure is over, as I'm one of those minority who thinks that Bradley did well his first 4 year in charge.

Good game today nice to get the first win against Italy.

Congrats guys. The more positions you get in the FIFA ranking will mean more points for us when we beat you. 
Man alive, I'm at work and didn't get to see the game, but the results are blowing my mind.
17 shots versus 4? Italy had 7 shots on goal and Howard had 7 saves? Were they quality shots or just alot of weak attempts? Was our goal strong or slop that got through? I'm need to dig up some highlights.
All those shots and +60% possession for Italy. Plus the U.S. played well enough to keep themselves in the win and take the win for 25 minutes. It sounds rather surprising.
EDIT :::::
Ahh. Thanks.

The best thing about this win is, I thought we would do relatively well against Italy, maybe 1-1 or only losing 1-0. Then like half the starters got injured. Onyewu, Jones, Torres, Chandler, Donovan... and we still managed to win 1-0.
The fact that a regular starter for the best team in Belgium needs half a dozen injuries to even make the US roster shows how much our depth has improved just over the last few years.
