He is too young and his form is too unstable. If he is chosen, he wouldn't get to play much because he is unable to get the trust from Bruce Arena and his teammates as he is too young. He can't even make it to First Team XI, since Eddie Johnson and Brian McBride are naturally better than him. \n\nIn conclusion, he has the potential to become a good player, but he needs a lot of time. Actually, it is the same case as Walcott.

apparently people have trouble identifying people from the US ...\nLandon Donovan said John O'Brien was the best American footballer in the world.\nO'Brien has been seriously injured and just signed in the US.  He might not even get a world cup roster spot, but if he makes it back to the form he had with AJAX, then there is your answer

Twellman is getting there.  He led MLS in scoring last season and has been on fire in qualifying for the US.  I'm biased, though.

He may be overweight but he's still the best striker in the world. He's complete world class scored most goals ever in the world cup. Barely moved in the world cup yet got the ball and was magic so he shouldn't retire.

he is a 25 year old striker who plays for Red Star Belgrade. Will play for Serbia-Montnegro in World Cup and will more than likely play for an english team soon after. The Brits are interested in him so off to the premiership for him. Serbia will have to find another star (hahahahahaahahahahahahahhaha)

Ghana who have had exceptional world -class players like Abedi Pele of Marseille,Anthony Yeboah of Leeds United and Eintracht Frankfurt fame but failed to qualify for the World Cup.\nThis time though Fernebahce's stephen Appiah who has great influence on the team will partner with Chelsea's Michael Essien to make the African imprint on the world.\nI know that many will praying against that day butmany more will be seeing it happen live.

The US will not perform badly this year...and they have not reason to perform in any less a level than past. The question is will they have the drive, pride and the unity necessary to win not just at matches, but in people's hearts.  Every country has potentially talented footbaool players, but the US has the advantage of superior facitlites, advisement etc available to them. Now its a matter of understanding the passion behind the game and bringing that into their matches. For the rest of the world it is not just a game to be won and have the title of 2006 World Cup Winner. Its also the passion behind the team and their supporters to represent their country, strive to win, show their skill, commitment, comradery and still hang their head high at the end of the day for having tried, represented and united their supporters/country. Nothing in the world brings a greater mass of people together worldwide than the sport of  football. No one want a champion who's sole goal is to add another win/medal to their list.......there has got to be more to it....

USA has a great chance at being number #1 or #2 in the group.Johnson will give every team a hard time with his speed.Also Donovan is playing very unselfishly latly.Even is the MLS game this weekend he had 2 assists.That is what we need from him in the World Cup.Sorry tho if they get number 2 in the group,they will lose to brazil in Dortmund the 27 of june.You never know they might be #1 in their group and then they would get through the 1st round!

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

rivaldo isnt in the world cup because he plays the same position as ronaldinho, kaka and juninho all which are in great shape and are doin rly well on their teams..... if he was to play as a striker (like in 2002 world cup) he would be fightin for a position against adriano, ronaldo and robinho- all three arent that easy to beat

Maybe some United States Player .

Nope.  Soccer doesn't fit in with the American mindset.  First of all, soccer is nationalistic, and the U.S. isn't.  We like to divide up and go at each other, not unite as one big team to play other countries.  Second, we're an insular nation.  Since the overwhelming number of Americans wouldn't be able to find a single World Cup participant on a map, it's unlikely they would enjoy the competition.  The rest of the world is a mystery to us.  Third, the U.S. has developed an "MTV/ADD" mindset.  Soccer is too slow for us to pay attention.  All sad, but all true.
