US Men's National Team Soccer Thread! (lower division thread)

Just praying for Switzerland. They are by far the weakest of the seeded teams in Pot 1.

holy cow, didn't realize they were seeded until you said that.  definitely would take.  i mean it's *possible* we get as lucky a draw as 2010, but definitely tougher this go-round (pot 3 being the usual crapshoot)

i'm pretty neutral on whether we want switzerland in our group or not

That's still way harder than South Africa. I just got spoiled I guess.

yeah, that definitely wasn't in the "meat" of a bell curve

[Tobias]

just looked up our grouping from WCs in my viewing lifetime.  IMO, we've historically been pretty lucky.  hope that continues but DGAF, bring it on assholes:

1990: italy, czech, austria
1994: romania, switzerland, colombia
1998: germany, yugoslavia, iran
2002: south korea, portugal, poland
2006: italy, ghana, czech rep
2010: england, slovenia, algeria

[sunny_cat]

Even if we get a group of death, it will be very fun to play some of those elite teams. Sure it was fun advancing in 2010, but playing puds like Slovenia and Algeria isn't that fun.

[mocat]

playing algeria was most def fun

meh, its more fun to advance. probably will say 10 was more fun than 14 if we don't advance in 14 (but we are  )

[sunny_cat]

Sure, but I didn't know any of their players. The game was fun, but I'd rather play superstars.

[Spaces]

I'm excited to not be a pussy no matter who we play.

Belgium
Netherlands
United States
Ecuador

Just fun. Ecuador? Pud. Netherlands? Maybe another meltdown. Belgium? I barely know them hahahah!

That is pretty sexy. Anything is better than the current crest. I was really hoping they would make the centennial crest permanent.
