BTW.
I would say that the USA is a better team than Greece, the reigning Euro champs. The Greeks are not even in the Cup this time around.
USA is Fifa ranked 5 but probably about 12-15 in reality. Part of the thing that confuses Europeans is that it's not all about the "best players", but the best team. US plays great team ball, which compensates for their lack of flair. Ask Portugal in 2002, which "on paper" had more skill but were overplayed by the US.
We're making progress. Everyone likes to kick this country around. I say we're better than Europeans - at everything and we will master THEIR sport too. Bring it on!!!
