Will the U.S.A. ever win a World Cup?

No.. They never will. I honestly believe the world cup will never ever be won outside of Europe and South America.

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.

USA has a soccer team?

They will win a world cup as soon as they win a final game.

Yes, the US won it leading to investors grossly overestimating the popularity of womens' soccer, unless the players are again willing to rip off their tops after scoring goals.\n\nEvery 4 years; next one in 2007 in China.

Well,I don't know if they will win it. But they are\nthe clear favorites to win it.  The pressure is on\nBrazil.  Anything less than winning it will be considered\na failure for Brazil.  In contrast, any other team will\nconsider it a great success to finish in the top 4.\n\nIn my mind there are about 10 teams who can win the\nWorld cup, and Brazil tops the list.  (And yes the U.S.\nis one of those 10 teams.)

As long as the Czech's win it should go someway towards Fifa correcting that hugely false position the US hold in the world rankings. 3-0 or so i reckon

Australia have yet to make the final of the World Cup finals, if that's what you mean. However, they have reached the finals twice (after battling through qualifying) this year and in 1974.

Gotta support Team USA!  I don't think they have a chance to win it, but I support them!

well there would be very different responses depending on the country. The countries who have won the world cup before would have probably just found it a bit humerous but nothing more. Then theres the whole tier of countries who time after time are there in the quarters, semis, and finals who for some reason just cant seem to win it all. Holland comes to mind specifically. La mechanica naranja (the orange machine) were the favorites to win the world cup on many different occasions, and they just couldnt pull one off. Check republic and Sweeden also come to mind in this group of teams. These teams would literally want to kill themselves. They would agonize over how some country who barely knows what a soccerball looks like managed to win the coveted world cup trophy before them who have been just so close so many times. Lastly, is the group of all the dark horses in world cup history. They would gain a lot of hope and confidence that a team with so little chance of winning were able to pull through and win. Personally I'm from argentina, so i would just find it a bit funny if they won, but since I live in the US now I was cheering for them. I thought the US was almost guarenteed a second round birth when ghana took down the check republic, but it was not to be. Although i think the US needs a new system of finding players at a young age before they will be able to compete at the same level that some of these other countries play at. Right now, Soccer is a sport for rich people in the US. The only way to be discovered at the appropriate age is to play club football which is extremely expensive in the us. Club teams often run $3000 a season. Some people go through the College system, but this means that the player is already 22-23 years old when he starts training with a professional team, and recieving professional training. This is way too late. In argentina, kids start playing soccer for professional clubs by the age of 12. It only costs about 20 pesos a season to join one of these professional clubs so almost everybody with good skill in the country gets discovered very early in developement, and recieve training by the best coaches in the country at a very early age. I'm off to cry a bit more about our fall to the blows of the german side. I wish america luck in future competitions.

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.

No, I don't think so. I mean, in 2002, they got to the Quarter Finals, so they're pretty  good. Even though they've never won, can you blame them? In America, soccer ( football ) is not the biggest sport played. It is Baseball, Football, and Basketball. The US soccer league ( MLS ) is not as big and rich as the NBA, or the NFL or the MLB, so you can't really get much fame off of it. In my opinion, USA should keep on trying and may eventually get to the finals.

Same as the chances of the US winning the cup...
1126996
It's possible, but not likely.\n\nThey move the ball well.  They're fast.  They have great control.  They may not have the experience to beat a team like Brazil.  Dont get caught up over they hype.  They made international fame by upseting the Cze Rep, but the US team was not much of a team to begin with.

I think realistically, Brazil is probably the best team out there, but I'd sure like to see USA do well.  They have a really tough group though, and to get past the first round would be a major mental victory.

No, Brazil will win the world cup this year... I will tell you why?\n\nBrazil won worldcup in 1970 and after that in 1994,\nso if you add up 1970+1994 =3964\n\nArgentina lifted the world cup trophy i 1978 and then 1986 too,\nand 1978+1986 = 3964\n\nGermany were winner of worldcup in 1974 and then 1990,\nSo, 1974 + 1990 = 3964\n\nThe winner of last world cup which was held in 2002 was Brazil and interestingly Brazil has won in 1962 and guess what, 2002 + 1962 = 3964..\n\nSo now if you want to guess the winner of this worldcup then\n3964-2006 = 1958\n\nand who won the world cup in 1958?\n\nits none other that BRAZIL.\n\nMy vote for Brazil....\n\nHurray!!!
