OK, perhaps it's now time to change the title of this thread to "Goodbye, US, Nice Knowing You". Italy? Loss. Czech Republic? Loss. Ghana? Winnable, but Ghana is talented and have won multiple Youth World Cups. Ouch. This could have gone a LOT better for Sam's Army. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

not a great draw. USA will have to pull of the upset of the Czech's. Czech's will be a sizable favorite, but not a gigantic one

I'm actually much more worried about the czech republic then Italy. Italy has not done well in recent big tournaments and to be honest, they aren't as strong as they were in Euro 2000. Cassano is erratic, and much of the team that lost to Wales a couple of years back(in wales, and they did kill wales in the return leg) is still in place. This is a team that can either be great or average right now, so we just need to hope to catch them on an avg day
the key to the czechs is taking out Pavel Nedved. Look at how Greece stymied the czechs at Euro 2004, so while we have a bad group, it isn't dire
