How far will the USA go in the World Cup in June of this year?

They will make it to the semifinals, and here is why.  Italy has both Totti and Vieri coming off injury, they will not be in playing shape yet.  The Czech Republic relies too much on Nedved, who is not playing well right now.  He is also a headcase who will do something to hurt his team at some point.  The US wins the group, and Italy finishes second.  Then the US will beat Ukraine because the US is simply better, and then eliminate an overrated French side in the quarterfinals.  Netherlands will beat the US in the semis.

Well, they can take inspiration from Trinidad and Tobago which managed to make this year's World Cup as firm underdogs. However, I think it is very unlikely to happen. The USA and Mexico remain the dominant teams.

I have no idea if that is true or not cause I have not heard it.  But that is a pretty foolish bet if it is true.  In my opinion the US is head and shoulders above Venezuela in terms of teams.  One we have a higher world ranking, and while that really doesn't matter, we are also in the World Cup.  Try and name 5 Venezuelians playing in a league in Europe, hell try and name 1, I can't.  Also the US played a poor game against Morroco, with such players as Landon Donovan and DeMarcus Beasley just not on top of their games.  They will look to this upcoming friendly as a way to gain momentum for the World Cup, and also factor in this is a home game and I feel the USA will come out hard and get a 2-0 win.

Well I have not lost hope! I think it is possible for the USA to make it past the first round, but they are going to have to work hard for it.

Not at this point no. I mean, sure...if they make it to the finals they might get a lucky goal at the last second if they can keep a tie. That'd be about the only way. There are too many teams with way more talent out there for the US to have a solid chance at winning by pure skill alone.

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.

They've had another poor world cup campaign, considering they have a great team on paper. If they do somehow get past the knock-out stages, I don't see them getting much further

I agree, USA ranked fifth on the world is a joke, who have they beat? and the championship that US organized, they end up inviting teams that are barely able to make it to the world cup.

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.
