Will US win any games in Germany with Bruce Arena as coach?

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.

All the way, unless we have to play Argentina in the next phase. As for Holland, we won against them before and we sure can do it again easily

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.

I really don't know .. That coach SUCKS big time , he had no facial expressions what so ever during the entire match . If the USA continue this poor form they won't have a chance against Italy or even the Black Stars of africa ( Ghana ) .

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

Czech Republic is a good and dangerous team. I don't think the US thought the Czech Republic was that good. Bruce Arena needs to get his act together and put a better line-up against Italy. Otherwise, Bruce will have be let go.

They'll be lucky to get past the first round. Czech Republic has a strong team and Italy is out of the question. After watching the Germany game, I don't think they'll do well. The Us needs to stop playing friendlies against such weak opponents. All that does is raise false confidence.

Offcourse, The likes of Landon Donovan,Demarcus Beasley, Kasey Keller, Mcbride who i call our Mcpride, Onyeweu, brilliant against strong opposition in Mexico's Rowdy Azteca Stadium, near flawless performance. The US Coach Bruce Arena is very professional, and by number's look right now on the www.fifa.com website, he has helped boost the USA SOCCER world rankings to number 6, that's right number 6 in the world, Look it up, Now offcourse Brazil is the team to watch, but ladies and gentleman in soccer all you need is 11 fearless guys full of heart and hunger and a lot of belief. And what do our Lads here in USA have to loose? absolutely nothing folks- THE 2006 SURPRISE-USA-1

yes of course, as long as we beat the big teams such as new zealand and south Africa that's if we play them. how we play next week against the all blacks would give us a good idea how well we could do in the world cup. i think we can do it.

I think Germany is going to win.

It would be nice to see the host nation get knocked out but I think Germany will win because of the atmosphere in the stadiums.

Hmmm...is that foot in mouth disease he is suffering from. Well they proved him wrong. His dismal performance as a coach has ensured his foot will stay there a while longer. When he takes it out he can then begin to eat his words. Bruce Arena...now who is he again. Oh yes the one that killed any chance America had of not being seen to be there to make up numbers themselves!!!

No, you'd better put Cladio Reyna or Bruce Arena, he's the most inept American coach ever.

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.
