Can the United States win the cup?

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.

yes they can! every team that qualified to the world cup has the potential to win a World Cup, of course there a series of factors that are involved that aid to or not.\nGermany is the house team, and that is just a factor that aids to their strong team. To me everyteam is a potential winner at the World Cup\nGood Luck to all the teams, specially Italy (my team)

Alot of people outside the USA doesn't see what is going on inside the country for the game's development.  I am English living in New Jersey as a product of my job, and scream Three Lions as loud as any other.  However I have a different  respect for North American soccer now, as the governing bodies are really starting to Bolster it's developmnent.  As for winning in 2006, anything is possible, but i genuinely believe the title is going to one of the European teams this year, though depending on the luck of the draw, I think Team USA has a valid chance of advancing to the quaters.

This is under "Football (American)" but it's a soccer question... so let me just say, the US will not be winning the world cup

Anything is possible, and a lot depends on the draw.\n\nHowever, it is unlikely because the USA are a long way from being in the top 8 international teams, and will probably struggle to qualify from their group.

The U.S. team has already reached the depth to compete at the highest level.  With their great young stars, getting experience overseas they are a team that will shine in this years World Cup.  Their performance in the 2002 World Cup was a great start to what looks to be a successful couple of years for the U.S. national team.

I think they are in a very difficult group, but definitely The USA has a chance of getting in the last 8 or 4 if they can overcome the first round, but hopefully for the they don't have to face Brazil early in the next round like they did in 1994. But who knows The USA can be the big surprise of this world cup.

US has to beat Ghana.  If US loses or ties this match, it would be the end for US in this World Cup.  US has to get at least 5 goals (the more the merrier).\n\nAssuming that US wins, here are the different outcome,\n1) If Italy beats Czech, US will go to the next round facing Brazil.\n2) If Italy ties Czech, we will need to see how many goals Czech has.  US has to have more goals than Czech has in order to go to the next round.  \n3) If Czech beats Italy, we will need to see how many goals Italy has.  US has to have more goals than Italy has in order to go to the next round.  \n\nRight now, US has two goals less than what Czech has and what Italty has.  Assuming that there will be goals made by both Czech and Italy, US has to get least 5 goals in the game against Ghana in order to be safe.  If US makes only 2 goals or fewer, even if US wins, they cannot advance to the next round.

Until the Lions of Africa start talking all you will have is the tales of the hunters!\n The issue is not Ghana dove to win for that's part of the game,diving, using hands to score and so forth have happened in the past and will happen in the future.\nThe USA just needs to improve it's domestic league.PERIOD. One game will not bring the cup home. And if you deny yourselves a critical look at your weaknesses then you will not improve.\nThe MAJOR reason USA lost is they did not score more goals...you can not bank on other team's benevolence to win games! You play them into submission by scoring more goals than them!!

No.\n\nThe US can do it to itself.

Yes we can!!!!!!!\nLiverpool really beat Chelsea in the FA cup and easily past United we can win it!!!!!!!!\nAlso take into mind that we have played over 50 games this season and still managed to end 3rd or 2nd in the league and still go on to the FA cup final. What STAMINA!!!!!
