Some members of the US team play in Europe, but those that do are usually second-string. Tim Howard is a bench-warmer after a few fairly poor perfomances a Man Utd. Donovan was a failure at Leverkusen. I think the star of the team is definately Beasley, since he's had Champions League experience with PSV. McBride's at Fullham, but then I could walk into Fullham's starting XI LOL.
Like I said, they may indeed surprise, though I personally hope not since as I said I'm an Azzurri supporter. I would love to somehow see you guys go up against Iran though :)
Oops forgot about Reyna being at City - I didn't know he was still on your team! He must be 36 by now!
