The US definitely got a good draw. I just wish I was going to be able to go next summer. We went to Germany in '06 for the WC and it was the trip of a lifetime!!!

:-)
I was in Germany as well for the 2006 WC.
What a blast!

come back to germany in 2011 for the women wc. the usa has a shot at winning this...
[Reply]

i think usa will hold their own in this group and have a good chance of winning it outright, big big expectations on england for 2010 as there is in every wc or euro championships.

in the press over here they are saying spain or brazil to win it.

no telling what things will look like next summer but on current form I would not bet on the US making it out of this group right now (I don't understand why everyone dismisses Algeria so quickly). Bradley has his hands full until the WC, being there and competing will be a breeze compared to what he needs to do to get ready.

We recently lost Davies and Onyewu, 2 starters from the middle of the field, the spine if you will. If one or both make it back in time for the WC there's no way they' be match fit so... who do we think oughta take their spots? Demerit and Findlay? And speaking of spine, who should man the central midfield roles?

The USA women play a beautiful style of soccer.
