Will Chris Albright make the U.S. for Germany?

Yes he has shown to the Bruce Arena that he is playing at his best level. SO he can be in the list of 23 players going to the world cup.

NOT sure?\nBut if he is as good, at 'scoring' in the bedroom, as he has been, in Germany... I would'nt have thought so!!!

Not really. I grew up in the U.S. and I'd never heard of him until I came to Germany.

Yes. There is no doubt about that. We have a great squad and those guys will make the difference. Look for the US to make it to the quarterfinals.

The key is whoever has the hot goalkeeper...based on his current form for Arsenal, Lehmann is smoking; that, coupled with the home-nation advantage, and I give Deutschland the edge.\n\nI would give the U.S. a good chance, but they're in such a killer grouping.

Kasey Keller will have to lead the team from his goal crease.  He has been in form and hopefully he will play as well if not better than Brad Friedel did in Korea in 2002.\n\nAlso, the US needs Claudio Reyna to be healthy, there's lots of reasons why he is the USA's captain.

IMHO Brazil and Argentina have the greatest talent, but it is a team game.  I'm going to Germany to root for the US.  Don't be surprised if Germany wins, however, as the home team, if they are good, and Germany is,  have a real advantage.

I don´t know, but I guess he will take some time to decide (1 year or so).\n\nhttp://www.worldcup2006news.net/

I worry about these German "interested parties".  I think they are more "hate anything American" groups.  And I do not want any American official brought before any damn international tribunal.  We've all seen how 'fair' the UN can be.\n\nBut that aside, the monumental blunders of the Bush administration and Rumsfeld in particular bear close scrutiny.  Now there is a Democratic congress, we can get some answers - the administration has always been so parsimonious with the facts.  You have to remember the rosy predictions of all the key players, Bush, Powell, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Rice.  How terribly wrong they were.  \n\nI don't want anyone on trial.  I want accountability.  The "You are for the Iraq War or you are a terrorist sympathizer" mantra of the GOP just ain't working.

Maybe.. These two are amazing teams. It's going to be an interesting game. I think I have to go with... Germany. Idk. Its going to be close.

It may not be in his hands. Hopefully the German War Crime charges which are being considered will come to fruition now that he and his boss lack political clout.\n\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/6146058.stm

Good question. I saw them play U.S. recently. And although U.S. was missing many stars due to league obligations, Germany won convincingly. Strong team. Good defense. Good tacklers. Never count Germany out. Often, folks count them out and almost every year they go far. Sometimes to the finals. I would say that they have an outside shot. I'd put them in the top ten somewhere. Netherlands, Czech republic, and others would probably rank above them. But I would put my money on Brazil.

I agree! It's home turf for Germany, they win or they get shot...plain and simple. lol I want to see your picture now trini! ;)writersk@aol.com

Not anytime soon, that's for sure. The U.S. will never win a world cup as long as the best athletes in America play other sports. For god sake the game is called football not soccer. And as long as the leagues in America have no talent pool and bad youth systems, there is no good outlook for American soccer.

Q is like this Do U realy think Germany can do it?

That's a tough call.  Yes, there is speculation that Arena will go to Europe.  Yes, he's admitted he's interested.  However to take the USA and turn it around the way he's done (save for '98), is remarkable.  The big question is whether or not he can coach ENGLISH soccer(football).  The American game really derived a lot of it's foundation from the English game (playing out wide, delivering in crosses, not having to go forward all the time, etc.), however if you look at the American game it really is a hybrid of a lot of different styles.  I fear his reputation will flounder if he cannot produce a winning side in England, and with the game over there being ruled by money (look at Chelsea and how they got to where they are), it's hard to say "Take a 2nd rate team and turn them into a powerhouse."  With the USA, he's been the fortunate receiver of great up-and-coming talent, which only adds to his "mystique" as being a great coach.  I am NOT denying he is a great coach-but I cannot say with certainty he will flourish in England.  I appreciate and agree with your remark about making the English game more marketable in America, which is the goal they are trying to ascertain though.
