Here's a quote from England:

"What would be the worst draw? Holland, Australia and the United States, I think," Eriksson said.

I guess the US is the laughing stock still!

Perhaps my sarcasm meter is broken, but Sven is saying here that he DOESN'T want to play the US in the first round. We may quite be up to "contenders to win the World Cup" level yet, but NO ONE is going to look past us to their next opponent anymore. Not with our #8 world ranking and a quarterfinal appearance in the last World Cup (which would have been at least a semifinal appearance if Hugh Dallas had seen the German defender handball the US equalizer off the line).
Well, maybe Brazil. They can still laugh at us. No one else is though.
