For the 5 or 10 soccer fans here...
They're drawing the World Cup groups right now. The US plays England to start on June 12th.

The US got put into a good round, based on how they've played this past 24 months, they're all but guaranteed to make it to the second round. Then things get tough.

The last time the U.S. played England in the World Cup was in 1950. Amazingly, the U.S. won, 1-0.
Looks like a good group. I wouldn't think Slovenia or Algeria would be very good, but you never know.

Good Luck in the World Cup!!!
Last time the US beat Spain, so the US team must not be bad. I'm sure Slovenia is not a serious threat and Algeria is beatable. Looks like you will make it to the 2nd phase. Spain plays Switzerland, Chile and Honduras. Not bad either. |

Spain's group is significantly harder than ours. Chile is no slouch, and Switzerland can pull off an impressive game at times. However, Spain reigns supreme right now, and they should be able to pull off 6 or 7 points.
