I remember watching the '02 World Cup. I would stay up until 5 AM to watch the USA play. We did pretty well, we went to the quarterfinals and lost to Germany, the runner-up, 1-0. Good times.
Anyway, I digress. Here is the article about the world rankings. HTML Code: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=361784&cc=5901

I just read this, but it's nothing special because the US won't be able to do anything in the World Cup. In 2010, assuming no impossible grouping, the team will do much better. Right now they are too young and don't seem to have a roster established, Taylor Twellman is one of those on-the-fence guys. Eddie Johnson, Landon, and McBride up top would make a formidable strike, but the midfield and defense are up in the air.
