Daryl -  Hi everyone (anyone?) and welcome to the 2009 Confed Cup Final LiveBlog on www.worldcupblog.org

Daryl -  Poll published... who do you see lifting the trophy today?

Daryl -  Alexi Lalas' strategic advice for USA: "Defend like banshees"
2:09
[Comment From Hana]
Did Alexi Lalas just tell us to defend like banshees? Erm...hear, hear?
