Of course, the fact that the U.S. failed to score during their recent run of killer friendlies should be enough to temper any overconfidence. The Americans did show significantly more attacking verve in last Sunday's 0-0 draw with Argentina, yet the goals didn't come. According to midfielder DaMarcus Beasley, who was among the more impressive performers against the Albiceleste, there is little worry in the U.S. camp.
"We're not panicking," Beasley said. "Obviously in the games it's been a little frustrating because we haven't been scoring goals. We know it will come ... We just need to be more patient in the final third. We know that if we compose ourselves around the goal then we'll be fine."
Bradley indicated that he expects Barbados to play a typical Caribbean style, with the Bajans combining physical play with a smattering of individual flair, especially through captain Norman Forde.
The series begins this coming Sunday at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California and will be televised on ESPN 2.
