With the United States Men's National Team squaring off against the Argentina National Team in a friendly match tomorrow night at 7pm ET at the New Meadowlands Stadium, fans are looking forward to this epic encounter.

Also looking forward to this matchup is none other than former United States Men's National Team Goalkeeper of the 1990 and 1994 World Cups, Tony Meola.

In addition to representing the United States, Tony was also one of the founding players for the New York Metrostars when Major League Soccer started in 1996. From 1996-2006, Tony played for the New York Metrostars and the Kanas City Wizards (now Sporting KC), where he won the 2000 MLS Cup & Cup MVP, before finishing off his MLS career with the New York Red Bulls (formerly the New York Metrostars).

This reporter had the privilege and honor of talking with United States Goalkeeping legend Tony Meola, who took a moment out his busy schedule for a brief phone interview. 

Question: Where are you watching the United States-Argentina match tomorrow?

Tony: Well I'm here with representing Allstate and I'll be watching it from the box with my friends. It's about 70 yards away from where I want to be (laughing). Prior to the game, I will be at the Allstate fan zone signing some autographs from 4pm-6pm. We're a raffle where some lucky fans will win a quick tour of the New Meadowlands Stadium.

Question: What's your prediction for tomorrow?

Tony: I would like to see the United States chances, because it's a friendly and given the guys that Bob Bradley brought back along with the stadium's atmosphere tomorrow, I'm predicting a United States 2-1 victory over Argentina.

Question: Being a former member of the United States Men's National Team and a founding player of Major League Soccer, what is your assessment of both?

Tony: Obviously, the strongest National team was the 2002, but this current National Team is a product of Major League Soccer.

There was a time when the player pool was only 25-30 players but Bob Bradley now has the luxury of the currently player pool where there was somewhere around 120 guys who played in National Team games during the last two World Cups.

It's an awful lot of guys to choose from and now he has the opportunity to bring in more young guys like Juan Agudelo and Tim Ream of the New York Red Bulls.

Question: When you were young, who did you follow?

Tony: I was always a big fan of the Italian National Team and Napoli. There was a time when I played with Roberto Donadoni when he came to the Metrostars from Milan. He told me that Napoli had some crazy, passionate fans but they were the greatest in the league and he always had a great time going to Napoli for a match. Another team I also followed was Boca.

I always thought the Boca-River Derby an interesting one. When I played for Kansas City, I had a chance to see Boca and River play at Boca, when Maradona first returned to the stands after all his problems. It was another experience I never experience in my life. People were crying and trying to get a good look at him at the stadium.

Question: Speaking of derbies, Is New York/New Jersey ready for a second MLS team?

Tony: That's the question everyone is asking around here. I believe both teams will be 25 miles apart and if it's the New York Cosmos, it'll definitely attract some old-time fans. Yeah, I'll like to see it because it'll be interesting to see the different fanbase. If the New York Cosmos can pull it off, the NY/NJ Derby would be great. 

Question: Do you have a website/Twitter/Facebook account where your fans can follow?

Tony: Not at the time but I will. Hey, I'm old school (laughing), if you send me an email, I can reply back. If fans wish to follow me tomorrow, they may do so through Allstate, while I'm signing autographs.

Questions: Final Comments?

Tony: 2-1 United States because it's a friendly game and the game should be open. There's no reason why both teams shouldn't just go at each other and have fun because there's nothing to lose tomorrow.
