Team USA in the Group Of Death. It will be a miracle if they make it to the second round. Hey I'd like a 1980 on grass but I'm not holding my breath. Let's just see how they fare with the Czechs on Monday. We're lucky to be in Germany at all.

Oh please -- we EASILY qualified. We won our group and were WAY ahead of the fourth-placed team, who by-the-way also qualified in the end. We haven't missed qualifying since 1986.

You think the difference in quality between Tean USA and the other teams in the group is similar to 1980 vs. the Soviets? You are joking, right?

We outplayed Germany in the quarterfinals in 2002. That's not my opinion but Franz Beckenbauer's. No, we're not favored to win the Cup or even advance out of the froup, but to claim it would be a "miracle" if we did is just ignorant.
