I was actually blown away by those rankings. In fact I had told a pal about the US being ranked 5th, and she was incredulous. I tried top defend the team, but she quickly started to list off teams that the US wouldn't really have much hope (as it is currently) of defeating. Let's say she won (and I didn't have to let her).

I wonder how those rankings (for both the US and the Czech republic) came up? Maybe it was all for show, or maybe they were playing against countries like Swaziland and Myanmar!

I have no idea where those rankings came from. Some of us were a little skeptical, but you always hope for the best. I heard talk of Keller being the best keeper of the tournament, too. Not sure about that, but I think he put up one of the best performances of the US team.
