USA Today reported that with the beating of Mexico (oh yeah) that the US qualifies for the World Cup, the first time we've been the first team to make it from our group! They also reported the US is ranked sixth (up from tied for 8th after the last WC).

Just awsome for all those kids playing soccer.

The U.S. has reason to be proud, and I expect them to turn in a good performance, but they are not the 6th, 8th, or even 10th best in the world.

about 20 years back when the US first qualified for the WC of the string of current 5, they had a plan to compete to have a chance of winning by 2010, they were laughed at back then but now who is laughing hmmm

As I recall, they were saying they'd win it by 2010. Sure there's a chance, but it's still a mighty slim one. We know they'll be insufferable if they ever manage it. ;)

Actually, about 6 months ago the American's were ranked around 11th or 12th in the world. But then again they have easier opponents such as Canada, Costa Rica and Trinidad and Tobago. If they were in Europe they would have a harder time no doubt about it.

I hope they play some middle eastern teams in the 2006 World Cup such as Iraq, Iran or the Saudi's...and beat them!!!

Rusty, I know you're chalk full of sarcasm, but Denmark isnt going to qualify for the World Cup, nor do I think Greece will.

In 1998, USA was in the same group as Iran and Yugoslavia, of course there were some political ties there.....

Iran and Saudi Arabia already have qualified and Israel still has a chance, to make matters more interesting, the Israeli team has two Arabs playing for it ohhh the political intrigue.
