No, but most pundits had us picked for 3rd in the group before play began.
I can't think that the US camp is in as much dissarray as they were in '98 with some of the Sampson/Harkes/Waldo drama...but harder facts usually surface after the games are done.
And speaking of done, my guess is that Bruce Arena may be tendering his resignation come July; no matter how well we do from here.
I think eight years is enough, we've made progress, but we need a change. My money is on Klinsmann being our coach in 2010.
