This sounds more like a curse. If we could have only dropped instead of being ranked higher. Now if we do not get to the quarter finals or semi’s it should be a failure.

man eric thats dumb. i look at this and say that FIFA finally is giving the respect that the USA deserves. No curses man. I aint afraid of Italy, I aint afraid of Czech Republic, i think we can beat any team, im not saying we’re going to be champions, but yeah, if the USA doesn’t get into the quarter finals at least, i will be shocked.

Quarterfinals? That would most likely mean beating Brazil. I would be shocked if we *DID* make it to the Quarters…

yeah quarterfinals. why should i be afraid of a fat Ronaldo? or a grand-pa like cafú, or a dissapearing act like Adriano? yeah, i know ronaldinho is the best in the world, and i’m a big barça fan, but i don’t see why the USA wouldn’t be trouble for brazil. I know brazil is #1 in the world and all, and i hope we don’t have to play brazil in the 2nd round, but if we do, then I think we have a good chance, and i will cheer my country on until the end.

While i’m proud that the US is ranked so highly, I think it shows more of a flaw in the rankings than it does the true quality of the US MNT. We are a top-10 or top-12 team, not a top-5 team. This World Cup gives the US MNT an opportunity to prove me wrong. I hope they do.
