USA is to my mind black horse of VM.

Not only in yours actually Many experts says that -

Black horse, white hippo, yellow zebra... US always was a difficult-to-defeat team! But, i guess, there is no way that Pendostan'll get gold. Though, they'll have a great support and referee help, for sure!

USA sometime win. Is it only question time.

We waiting our time about 15 years....

I saw the US in the exhibition vs Sweden - they have a good shot. Lot's of speed and energy

Speed and energy - that's good, but experience means much more, i guess.

Hi from Latvia! - I don't know where any "USA" are on the Globe, but, thought - we'll win these three letterz :-)

I was at the latvia -usa game last night. The Americans have a very disciplined "systems" approach to the game and they were rarely out of position. The guys were hard on the puck, they used good body position, good decisions etc..the small rink suits them. When the Latvians used the occasional stretch pass to get behind the U.S. defence Tim Thomas bailed them out. The guys are quick and strong. Watch for them.

What's so black horse in that if USA wins, look at the roster it's fast and full of energy, not just scorers but workers too. Team is well build, and awesome goaltender can't hurt
