At 2:30 Manchester United will take on Villareal in the first day of Champions League Group play. Villareal has American Jozy Altidore, the truth, one piece in the promising future of American soccer. He's a talented goal-scorer with size, and while he doesn't start, he has looked great coming in as a reserve. It'll be interesting for Altidore if he sees the field. DeMarcus Beasley has seen Champion's League soccer and has grown from the experience tremendously.
This is a big day -- Jozy Altidore could see time on the field in Champions League soccer against the biggest superstars on the planet. It remains to be seen if he gets time, but if he does it will be a very big step for American soccer. Adu, Altidore and Beasley all having seen Champions League group play -- all Americans. That would never have been heard of a decade ago.
