It will be tough with Rep. Of Ireland, Czech Republic and Germany in your group. \n\nMy group prediction - 3rd (play-off)

I'd like to see the USA bring it home. It's hard to go against France with the way Henry is playing. Germany has a great team with the homeland edge. Although my guess is ENGLAND with their very well rounded team and if Robinson plays well in the net.

Our top players can play with the best in the world, the place the US is lacking is the depth that countries like England, Italy and the Netherlands posess. If the US can stay healthy we can go a long way in this World Cup.

One point in the group.  Ghana will unleash its fury all over the USA like it did against the Czechs.  5-0 because the Czechs beat the US 3-0 and Ghana beat the Czechs 2-0 makes 5-0 is my prediction.

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.

A computer that looks at past games and statistics.  Hence the US ranking.  I am from the US and I as well as anyone else knows that the US does not deserve their raking.  Mexico either.  Look at who the US play and look at any Europe team and who they play.  Yeah US can score 4 goals on a concacaf team but not on a European team.  US needs to play and beat European teams and other World powers to be able to be ranked as high as they are.

I'd like to be a bit more optimistic, but they have a very difficult draw. How Mexico got a top seed and the US did not is a mystery to me. While I agree that the US is probably not the 5th best team in the world, they are a strong side. Ghana will be difficult to beat. They are fast and love to play the long ball to the wings. If the defenders are on their game, the US can be successful at counter-attacking them. Italy is so tough defensively, I just can't see the US scoring on them. The Czechs make life difficult for anyone. They are fast and physical, but sometimes they play out of position. If Beasley and Donovan can control the ball and get a few decent shots, the US can upset them. I don't see the US getting past the quarterfinals though. They looked completely outclassed in the friendly match against a depleted German team.

USA got a balaced team & may have good oppurtunities in future.\nBut watching the match against c.repablic I"d rather preffer basketball.

Helllllll no!! USA sucks at soccer, soccer is a europeans man's game. So dont count on it. Italy, Portugal and England all the WAY!!!!!

The US team is indeed great this year but they will have a tough time making into the next round now as they need to win against Ghana who upset Czech 2-0 plus they will need to beat them by atleast 3 goals unless Italy beats Czech in the next game.\n\nThe French have Zinedine Zidane who actually was the greatest player in the world --a world champion, European champion, European Cup winner and three-time FIFA World Player of the Year.  Unfortunately, every player's time eventually comes; he will be retiring after this cup.\n\nI'm supporting the USA also (though it will take a near miracle to make it into the next round - not altogether their fault - bad ref in Italy game) but I'm predicting Argentina upset over Brazil 2-1.

Czech is ranked #2 in the world and Ghana #48.\nExcept for Ghanaians, who support based on country loyalty and not actual hope of a win, I don't think anyone expected this.\n\nI don't want to predict the US score against this team. The US has made major changes to the team that played against Czech Rep. Let's see how they perform against Italy first!

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 care.  I think the U.S. has a good chance to advance.  They're experienced, in contrast to the typical U.S. team...and confident, with quality international talent at nearly every position.  I hope they play good matches....win at least one and tie another...give themselves a chance.

I think they have a shot to get to the next round. Italy is tough to beat, but they may win to Ghana and Czech Republic. As long as they know how to distribute their energy Ghana will be easy to beat, and the Czech Republic is a similar team but USA can outrun them.
