Talk: First thoughts on the 2006 Football World Cup/@comment-101812-20060417190148

The US will have the best team it has ever had on the field. Unfortunately, the football gods didn"t smile at the draw; they have the Czechs, Italians, and Ghanians- worst draw in the tourney. If that isn"t bad enough, scrape through in second and you"ll likely have a second round date with Brazil. It would be a major accomplish to match 2002"s result and would definitely garner respect.
