1994 was a dream draw. 2010 was one of the easiest draws as well. 1998 was tough, but not ridiculous by any means, and 2002 was a decent draw as well.

The only bad draw for the US was the 2006 group of death.

As corrupt and shitty as FIFA is, and as awful as the seeding system for the World Cup is, I haven't seen any team get repeatedly screwed over in close stretches before.

Name 1 group in 2010 that was more favorable than ours.

Even the South Africa group, which had the inherent advantge of having a bullshite 1 seed, was stronger.

F and H are the only two groups that come close.

Yes, being put in a group with (arguably) the best team in the world prior to the tournament (Colombia) and a European team with a mercurial (albeit aging) talent in Georghe Hagi, Romania. It was disappointing to not sweep that group.

You mean Germany, pre-dissolved Yugoslavia and a country that hates us (Iran) playing for the pride of their entire country? Yeah, another cake walk.
