USA and the World Cup

Read about America's prospects in the World Cup in this piece from ESPN. Let's hope we do better than in 1998! Excerpt:

While they're ranked 13th in the world by FIFA (Portugal is fifth, Poland 38th and South Korea 40th), the Americans are far from a world power. They are 10-4 this year, but 0-4 against European opponents, with losses to Italy, Germany, Ireland and the Netherlands.

Still, they're among only nine teams to qualify for each tournament since 1990.
