US kicked the crap out of Guatemala tonight 4-0. It was the final tune-up for the US before Gold Cup action begins on Tuesday night.

US got goals from Clint Dempsey (PK), Chris Wondolowski, and Timmy Chandler. The first goal was a Guatemala own goal off a cross into the box from DeAndre Yedlin. Joey Altidore missed an early PK that would've given the US a 1-0 lead.

Gotta be honest, I think we're a better team when Zardes is on the pitch instead of Altidore. He just has a knack for making things happen. It'll be interesting to see who starts against Honduras on Tuesday night. I think Guzan, Dempsey, Bradley, Yedlin, Brooks, Zusi, and Diskerud are locks. I think the other 4 spots will be up for grabs, but I'm rooting for Zardes as one of the strikers. He's earned it, imo.

The opening Gold Cup match can be seen Tuesday night on Fox Sports 1 at 830 CST.
