USA Men: News & Analysis | Forum profile

LIKE confeds other then UEFA cannot be in the same group... that's one of the ways, FIFA can fix things a bit... south africa, argentina, brasil can't get like federations... put afriac and asia in the same pot, and south africa gets a chance at an easier asian side

Notice I said "most cases," though, because Brazil and Germany historically find their way to the quarterfinals somehow,...

I said at the beginning of the season that I thought Altidore, Hunt, Bullard, Ghilas, and Geovanni would...

There's no way Tim Howard isn't our starting keeper in South Africa. We all know it. This should really be the least of our concerns. I believe Brad Friedel has played one game for the USMNT since the end of the 2002 WC. He's not even remotely involved with our program, and has had no interest. The guys that are bleeding and sweating their asses off for us deserve the opportunity.

From Jeff Carlisle: US Team Hopes For Favorable Draw Quote: Since rejoining the World Cup party back in 1990, the U.S. has never found itself in one of the easier groups. Even on those occasions when the U.S has progressed to the second round, it has done so as a heavy underdog, requiring an upset of the group favorite to progress. Now, it's almost expected that the Americans will face an uphill climb. and my favorite: Quote: Pot 1 will...

Posters remind us of Reyna and O'Brien in the midfield. Like Dempsey and Donovan in the...
