What would be a good result for US Soccer at the World Cup 2006.?

The US has a tough group. With Italy and Czech Republic, two established and proven squads are expected to go through. Ghana is one of Africa's strongest and most unpredictable teams. Getting into the knock-out round would be a great result for the US.\nBest result ot hope for would be a 2nd place for Group E which means they will have to play the winner of Group F, Brazil. While the US Boys have vastly improved, that should be the end of their run.

Future is looking good and bright. The team has reched its lowest that it can not go any further down from here. Hence, it can look forward to a better performance from here on. If you remember even prior to start of  the last world cup, we were at the lowest and in our first few matches against low placed teams like Holland we won with difficulty, but after that we reached the finals and lost.\n\nHence, its good that we have not peaked at the wrong time, but we should now start gethering momentum to peak at world cup. Hopefully, by that time we will have few changes in our team for better.

In refernce to the previous answer first: The U.S. was not luck, in fact we should have one the  match, if not for bad calls against us. Now i think we should do good against Ghana, it won't be easy. After all they did beat the #2 team in the world.

US Soccer has clearly improved over the past 15 years.They are a nation that should be expected to qualify out of their confederation (CONCACAF) every World Cup.\n\nThey are not on the level of top European national teams ,such as Italy,France,and Germany,despite their unmerited Top 5 ranking before the World Cup..They will be a bet for an upset result against these teams in a World Cup finals match only if the European side overlooks them.\n\nIf Juergen Klinsmann is hired as National team coach,he could bring them a step forward,as he would play younger players -as opposed to forme manager Bruce Arena who in  2006 counted too much on players who were well past their sell-by date.\n\nOne further note- if MLS becomes a full 16-team league with a solid pro academy system at each club,the USMNT will improve greatly in my opinion.Maybe they can then be considered a Top 15 National Team as opposed to their current Top 16-30 placing.

I would like to see Uruguay, Wales, and/or Ireland in. I would really love to see USA out because, although according to FIFA they're one of the top 10 teams, they have no history, a very small fanbase in the country for soccer, and have not really shown that they are worthy of being included in the best sporting event in the world.

In my opinion USA can't show good performance in the fortcoming fifa worldcup as it has to win the great power block like italy and czech republic in its first round. both of its great rivals are going germany with great hope of wining. but dont give up hope USA fan it is football anything can happen as croatia did in wc '98.

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.

Lucky to win, but we did, so thats good.\n\nhowever if we play like that in the world cup we might as well give our place to Scotland!

Germany has a weak division. I can see Klose being the leading scorer of the tournament. They already put up four in their first match. They will go far in the cup, and I foresee a lot of goals in their future.

The US looked horrible.  It doesn't matter who takes the blame, we gave up all those free kicks, corners, and had only one good scoring opportunity.  I could only expect us to lose to Italy and tie Ghana.  10 pts if I'm right!  :-)

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.

The U.S. will be able to beat Ghana and the Czech Republic.  They have a chance to beat Italy if they have all their key players healthy (Beasley, McBride, Donovan, etc.).  I predict them finishing second to Italy in their group and even winning their first round match.

It was great to see an African team come out and play like that.  Not only was it great for soccer, but it was a good deal for the US.  They always play exciting soccer but with weak defenses never win.  This  win was great!

I hope he can excel throughout the World Cup and if he performs like he did agasing Norway, then the US soccer team has a pretty good shot at the cup
