Watch for Italy to do it. Italy is notoriously slow out of the gate but if they make the final no matter the opponent, they will win. They have improved their offence while still maintaining a strong defensive approach. Of course, it goes without saying that finishing 2nd in their group is and should not be their objective! :o)\nCan USA win? i don't think so..Clearly you know there is something wrong with the FIFA ranking system when they are ranked ahead of such countries as Italy. The US is a good team but not that good and in a tough group.

Yes, they can win another game.  We have the right quarterback in there now and things look good for the future.

no one, Ghana will dominate the US liek no other, no one gives them the credit they deserve. Not only did they destroy Czech Repbublic but they could've beaten Italy also. I'd call the game 3-0,Ghana.

There is no possible way that Bush could win this election. His time is up. Besides look what he has done with the country now. Even if he could run again he wouldn't make things any better, they would only get worse.

Nope. As a fan, I'd love for them to move on to the next round, though. \n\n***(06/23/06 17:00 EST, USA)\nSorry, I was wrong. France has done it de bonne grâce! \nViva les Bleus !

As crazy as it might seem after hammering the US 3-0, the Czechs are probably on the outside looking in.\n\nTheir top 3 strikers are all out of their last game v Italy, which will make it very difficult for them to win.\n\nIf either the US or Ghana win, they will probably go through.

According to ESPN this is USA's best team ever...but there are no garuntees! so i expect them to win don't you?

Yes we can. I think Italy will have to win this outright. If it goes to extra time I fancy the Aussies fitness will see them through. We will miss Emerton, they will miss Nesta. Defensively we are fairly sound, our attack will need to lift a bit more. They will give it all they have and if they don't succeed, Australia will be no less proud. As for the lead, you can hold it for 89 minutes and lose it. One lapse in concentration is all it takes and the team that maintains it will win. I think this will be one heck of a match and GO THE SOCCEROO"S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If they do, I would consider it a miracle.  The United States does not put as much emphasis in the sport as most of the country.  The resources available to the US National Team are not sufficient, in my opinion, to build a team capable of winning the World Cup.  They can do well, but it would be a surprise to me to see them past the quarter finals.

Please realise that the Czech Republicans are ranked 2nd in the world behind brazil at the moment... USA has a strong side but with the likes of Jan Koller and Pavel Nedved for the Czechs Squad The Team SHould go all the way to beat Brazil in the final

They will be hungry for victory.  Look for them to absolutely POUND the ball into the attack zone.  I am picking the U.S., 3-1

not unless we won something...

well if any other country tries to play it, I'm sure they can beat them, so it'll probably hold anyways...

Who will win?? The amazing thing about the World Cup is almost any team could win. Soccer is also an extremely mental/attitude type of game as well as physical and ANYTHING can affect a player's focus.  The fact that the players have to think for themselves on the field sets the groundwork for all kinds of mistakes if the players are not paying attention to the entire field.  Just look at what happened to the US vs Czech game; the US came out over-confident and did not take the the subltle attack of the Czech team seriously until it was too late. \n\nSo - the real answer is who can stay focused and driven through the entre World Cup.
