i don't think enough people pay attention to the world game here in the u.s. i wish there was better coverage of matches, both domestic and international, but i'll take what i can get.
i'm glad the coaches of the national side don't have to put up with this. can you imagine getting chewed out by a bunch of politicians because your team lost. granted, germany got whoooped by italy, 4-1, but cut klinsman some slack. it is only a friendly match.
having just said that it's only a friendly, the result does worry me. the u.s. is in the same group as italy. top two teams advance. other recent results from our upcoming group: czech republic tied turkey 2-2; ghana lost to mexico 1-0 (but the match was in texas, so that had to feel like a home game for mexico) and the u.s. beat poland 1-0. italy and the u.s. seem to be the top 2 teams of the group, but man, these other teams are no joke. then again, it is the world cup, every team should be no joke.

Didn't they call the bracket that the US is in "The Group of Death" or something? Like it's the toughest? I thought I heard something about that. Is the team that wins that round supposed to win the whole shebang?
well, there is always what is considered the "group of death" or, as i think it is in espanol, "groupo el muerte". and, ours is close. but some others are good too. i think the few u.s. pundits consider ours as said group, mainly because it will be tough for us to advance.
favorites i've heard are
brasil
argentina
germany (home team advantage)
and i'm throwing italy in there too
