A bunch of ESC guys went down for the match. Jay documented yesterday in his blog here: http://primetown.blogspot.com/2008/03/primetown-in-nashville-what-day.html. He included some great pictures.

It is great that the US qualified but Red Bull will be with out Altidore for as many as eight games due to the Olympics. Big Apple Soccer has more on that here: http://www.bigapplesoccer.com/article.php?article_id=13434
