No he will not. This will be his first year starting for DC United as he's been a back up for the last 2 years. Only those who have displayed a consistent level of play will make the US team. He will definitely make the 2010 team.

It is our own U.S team's coach. He fail to put any good striker to the front. If you don't score, the other team will. It is just that simple. The way the U.S team played were totally disaster. Hopefully he will resign !

We need something! That game was a sleepwalk. And Bruce Arena looked as unfazed by getting our butts handed to us as our team did. \n\nItaly v. Ghana was a REAL match. Where are their coaches from?

It was suggested by Arsene Wenger. He also suggested to England,Switzerland,Spain,Togo and France which players should be in their teams. I understand he plans to replace George Bush in the White House.

Try the website for your national soccer association but I doubt there will be any left.  It starts in less than a month.

very nice team!! however, brad miller is out for about four weeks, so you might want to put him on the bench.

I am disappointed with the US team, however, I did not really expect a win from them. I was hoping for a draw, but felt that if they did draw, then the result would come off US capitalizing on a very uncharacteristic Czech opening. \nPrimarily, I felt the US didn't play their style and because of the questionable comments of their coach, Bruce Arena, they tried to set up more intelligently out of static balls. However, they were less intelligent in the end, because they didn't attack and that cost them the openings they normally find. So the real individual to blame is coach Arena. If you recall, a couple days ago, reports indicated that Coach Arena said to the US that they should emulate Holland. That was a mistake, because the US do not possess the talent or personnel to play such a style. \nAlso, the US should have played one more friendly and against a European team. They were primarily training against Concacaf and African Zone teams in playing Venezuela, Morocco, and a closed-doors match against Angola. They should have scheduled European matches to try to get a sense of the Czech side instead of just building false confidence to some degree. They could have better figured out their weaknesses and made adjustments rather than trying to be a team they really are not!\nLastly, I do not like the decision to play the 4-5-1. Donovan only lost a place in the formation. The US should have stuck with a 4-4-2 and Convey should not have started. He is an explosive, off the bench player...not a starter. He could have been the reenergizer. Instead, even though a slight injury concern, O'Brien should've started as he spreads the defense well. Convey is more of a striking midfielder, who brings energy, something the US needed when they went down. Trying to reenergize a team is not O'Brien's role. He plays better and with more confidence coming onto the pitch in the beginning. The other choices for defenders were good choices I felt except for Onyewu. Pope should've been on Koller from the beginning because he brings experience. Onyewu could have been more effective as a center back that doesn't necessarily mark an individual, at least initially, merely because of his inexperience... \nOverall, the US made some big mistakes, but the bigger mistakes were strategic ones that could and should've been made prior to the game with the right friendlies being played, lineup decisions, and such coaching calls.

If they do make it beyond the group stage, that alone will be a testiment to how U.S. soccer is improving. Many people are complaining about what a tough group the U.S. is in, and they are right about that - but this is a chance to show what they can do. With that said, will they make it? I'd give it a 30% chance.

Chelsea worked out a deal with the Company AEG who owns 4 MLS teams. The worked out a deal with the Los Angeles Galaxy to send their players over to the states to develop and they have the option to transfer players from the MLS if they want. So that could be part of it, to test the waters and see how good some of the players they want to develop are.

The USA has the talent but have not played together as a team yet. It will take a huge effort to get out of our group but if we do, I thimk we can go far.

They can't, not in 2006 anyway. The USA plays less than competitive teams to rack up qualifying points. This means lack of better competition. They will not improve, no matter how talented there players become in the future while they play teams that are less competitive than themselves. Better to play a few friendly games and lose to the greater sides and learn something and have your experience grow than to win against feeble competition and have your standard of play remain the same. Just my opinion.

I think that this team is a lot more balanced, and contains players who are a lot more committed than the previous Olympic team. However, the other international teams are also growing stronger in leaps and bounds. I have confidence that Team USA can bring back the Olympic title, though I think they will need more preperation time before the Olympics to really develop a good team spirit and to fully integrate into an effective team.

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.

Poor management by the MLS.  This was during the "Americanization" phase of the MLS, with penalty shootouts to settle ties, funny team names and the clock counting down to zero.  This in effect had the result opposite of "preaching to the choir" that is ignoring the choir all together, where the largest groups interested in soccer where somewhat ignored in hopes of garnering new fans.  An example of this would be the choices in stadiums.  Tampa played in the Buccaneers' stadium, way too large and unaccommodating for the Mutiny's needs.  The Fusion had their games in Fort Lauderdale, far away from a large segment of the fan base in Miami ( a more central location between the two cities would have been better ) in a rather unimpressive stadium.  Finally, at the time of their axing, these two teams where far away from the other ones in the MLS, so it was also a cost cutting measure for time and travelling.
