I gotta give kudos to Bruce Arena and the U.S. team. This is the strongest squad yet. Just look at the last FIFA rankings. You'll see me in U.S. colors around Seoul supporting my motherland!

Goalkeepers Club
Kasey Keller B. M'gladbach (Germany)
Defenders Club
Jimmy Conrad Kansas City Wizards (MLS)
Frankie Hejduk Columbus Crew (MLS)
Eddie Lewis Leeds United (England)
Eddie Pope Real Salt Lake (MLS)
Midfielders Club
DaMarcus Beasley PSV Eindhoven (Holland)
Landon Donovan Los Angeles Galaxy (MLS)
Pablo Mastroeni Colorado Rapids (MLS)
Claudio Reyna Manchester City (England)
Forwards Club

Remaining U.S. Friendlies

28-May06 Latvia; Hartford, Conneticut.
Korea announced their roster yesterday. Poor Korea to possibly play 1 quarterfinal game and lose. |

you forgot one player:
Oguchi Onyewu- the whole world will know this name by the end of the WC. 
i'm just glad Korea and the US don't have to face each other again. didn't know who to cheer for...luckily it ended in a tie.  |

Hmmm ... in some pretty esteemed company there. Sandwiched between Afghanistan and the Philippines. To be quite honest, I didn't know Phils was rated so low.
And in case you're wondering, here are the bottom 5 ranked teams worldwide:

200 Djibouti 0 46 0
202 Montserrat 0 30 0
203 Turks and Caicos Islands 0 22 0

Where's the Vactican? They're my number two squad.
Actually, where the hell are Korea in all that? In the twenties, I'd imagine. |

| I want to see the US do well for the sake of the sport, but when their supporters start hyping them on the basis of the Fifa rankings, they look like a pack of asses. |

Oh, come on. We're clearly better than all the European squads, save Holland. |

| Well NZ is not in it. I've always just loved and supported Brazil, cause they win a lot, have great colors on thier strip, have the most talented players, and play the most fun, creative, and skillful style. Boring I know. But I'll back them again. Boring I know but they are legends of the football world, and in any given world cup they are always a strong possibility. |
