Did anybody catch this morning’s rec league match between the US and Australia? Easily the worst game between two World Cup qualifiers that I have ever seen. If the US plays this way once the tournament starts they not only won’t advance, they won’t take a point. England will beat them by 20.

The 2010 World Cup begins on June 11 in Johannesburg, with host South Africa playing Mexico. The following day the US kicks off its campaign against mighty England. This is going to be an exciting tournament, and if the US plays to its capabilities it should advance out of group play. A lot of folks are already look past this
