Always wondered who would suck more if they played each other. The US or Australia
we'll see about thatReally? The US is one of the worst "big name" teams but is much better than any country in that region and most countries in general. USNT haters are too much :x

I would say start him.
If you put in De Gea, say goodnight to Casillas' little confidence that he still has.
Keep telling yourself that
Yeah OK. Please tell me which one of these teams in the AFC is better than the US.

The only decent teams are Japan and SK. The rest are TRASH, so I don't know why you're acting like I'm making some kind of outlandish non-obvious statement
Sit down. You said "The US is one of the worst "big name" teams but is much better than any country in that region and most countries in general"
Most countries are dirt poor. Football is not a priority. With all the resources that the US has at its disposal including money and talented players that don't get called up because of politics, it has a piss poor team.
This dude i play soccer with told me having a great first touch is something you have to be born with..he also said so many top flight players first touch is still bad no matter how much they work on it.
Random thought
What? So you're agreeing with me but you're telling me to "sit down"? Either you're illiterate or a troll, or both

...told you so it must be true LMFAO
Having a good first touch can be taught and it's what you do with the ball after the first touch that can't be taught. You either have it or you don't
You can't compare the US with countries that don't make soccer a priority or have the resources like New Guniea or some crap team in Oceania. When you start comparing the US to other developed countries then we can talk,
I see where your coming from, and I'd probably keep Casillas in as well, but as you mention with the shortage of time, a loss next game, and Spain is effectively out of the tournament.
And if Casillas confidence is so fickle as to break if benched after a game like this, why even bring De Gea or Reina to the tournament. It's pampering. I'd understand it more if De Gea was not as quality a player he is, but the matter of the fact is Spain can field two excellent WC squads with the group they brought to Brazil, no one should get special treatment.
I think the decision is not so clear cut and am curious to see where Del Bosque chooses to go with this.
