By far the Pittsburgh Steelers....in almost every city in the country there are steeler bars, how many other football teams can claim that ?  The fan base is international and look at when the steelers are playing in another city, at least a 1/4 of the fans in the opposing teams arena are steeler fans.   Pittsburgh Steelers hands down!  Go Stilllllllers!

I cannot claim to know about all the teams you mentioned.  However, I know about the 1980 team and how much they meant to us as Americans.  There may have been better (technical) US teams, but they were the greatest US team.  I will never forget 2/22/80 as long as I live.

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.

A computer that looks at past games and statistics.  Hence the US ranking.  I am from the US and I as well as anyone else knows that the US does not deserve their raking.  Mexico either.  Look at who the US play and look at any Europe team and who they play.  Yeah US can score 4 goals on a concacaf team but not on a European team.  US needs to play and beat European teams and other World powers to be able to be ranked as high as they are.

ok here is the deal. Don't get me wrong i love team usa and happy we are ranked 4th. but we are only there cause we are still playing our starters every game, teams like germeny(in the cup cause hosting) italy(first team to qualify) haven't been playing their main guys cause they don't need to, and those guys play for a living for club teams right now. never take that ranking serious rightbefore the cup, i would give the us ranking of 12 in reality, and i know u all are going to be mad at me for it. but we are not a #4 team yet, we lost what 3-0 or something to the german backups,  and germeny is like 10 or somehting

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.

I am so with u on this one Diamond G. No one thought We would even defeat the Czechs after that defeat over the Italians but we have claimed our place In the next round. We really desrved this. The US didn't even score their own goal but we won fair and square and they really should give it a rest. If the Americans had gotten that Panalty no one would have said shit. They need to get going by now. Ghana is truely the Brazillians of Africa and it wouldn't be surprizing if thy defeated the Brazillians either. Impossible is Nothing.

Clint was not selected because he is having a terrible season in MLS and is not match fit.  He is on my fantasy team and is killing me.  He never plays for 90 minutes.  He made a good impression in Korea, but has dropped from the radar since then.  His strike partner, Jovan Kirovski, is in the same boat.  He was touted at one time as being the best American prospect, but it never materialized either.

Actually, I (as an American) have developed a new love for football.  I used to be completely disinterested, but now I can't get enough!  I have a friend from Lebanon and a friend from England and I love talking to them about the World Cup.  \n\nOne of the things I noticed about  Team USA is that they are not as refined at playing football as the other nations.  For this reason, I watched them only to see how far they would go.  I knew that they would lose to Ghana, that much was obvious.  But I suppose the team to watch now is Brazil?  Everyone seems to be talking about Brazil and Ecuador.  But I don't know, I've only watched about four games so far.  I may have nothing to add, but I will certainly be reading the questions and comments from this section.  \n\nFIFA World Cup has at least one new American fan!   Go Brazil! (I think.)  Or maybe, Go Ecuador!!

The best teams in the MLS are probably D.C. United and the Los Angeles Galaxy.. I mean, overall.\n\nAs for who plays in the international team, this website has the roster: \nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_men's_national_soccer_team\nMost of the international team plays in the MLS, but quite a few play for English or German club teams as well. Chris Albright and Landon Donovan (arguably our "star" player) play for D.C. United, and Ben Olsen plays for the Galaxy.\n\nWebsites:\nhttp://www.mlsnet.com/MLS/index.jsp (US domestic league - Major League Soccer)\nhttp://dcunited.mlsnet.com/MLS/dcu/ (DC site)\nhttp://la.galaxy.mlsnet.com/MLS/lag/ (LA site)\n\nHope this helps!

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
